A totally biased, very liberal review!

The opening scene itself establishes the incompetence the Indian air force is… Some soldiers need evacuation and they don’t have any pilots to spare (Gareeb desh and all). So in comes Miss Nepotism to the rescue…

But wait, the scene now cuts to a flashback where a privileged male (pilot) shows off his ill-gotten privilege by telling the young pre-teen Miss Nepotism, that to sit in his chair in the cockpit, she needs to be a pilot…

Then what? Miss N, now soars to be a pilot! With a song and a twirl!

But not so fast…

Despite getting through Flight School in IAF with flying colors, her training is halted by… you guessed it, that pesky over privileged male ego.

The biggest difficulty Miss N has to face is not the training itself, she is always amazing at flying, it’s the evil, vile male ego. So despite her being better than the best (yes sir!), she is not allowed to do anything… coz… MALE EGO re bhai!

Therefore, she has to show those men their place and gain their respect. There are maybe 1 or 2 scenes showing her master the challenge of flying. But an entire large section of the film is devoted to male chauvinism. I don’t know if the real person faced all these issues, but Miss N certainly comes out on top with the help of the feminist script writers. I mean HOW can they show a woman as competent, without her putting down a few men. Can a woman be really awesome just based on her skills? NOT so much according to Dharma Productions…

So, now we are past the first half and so far Miss N has managed to, shown down her Chauvinist Male Captain and nothing much else. Not much of flying scenes as maybe Dharma couldn’t afford the VFX budget.

(Me to Self: Listen bro, flying dekh na hai tho Top Gun Maverick dekho bhai! This film only has rona dhona.)

Shaking off my own male chauvinism, I soldier on with the film….

The action now moves on to the third act. The real WAR is here!

No no, not Kargil. The war against the male mindset. Her brother is convineintly located in the same base as her. (Gareeb Army hai bhai!). So he continues with his male ego crap, but I am so scared of the feminist that I continue watching the film chup chap!

Such is the power of the male that, once Miss N does a mission well, they even show as if the ministers were asking for her to quit in case she got caught by the Pakis! Such is the huge issue of male chauvinism in India! (Someone tell that to Mrs Indira Ghadhi, Mayawati, Mamata Mam and all other women leaders…)

However, fate intervene and Miss Nepotism is able to do ONE mission that too by not listening to the orders of her male chauvinist commanding officer. Coz you know… women are always right! (lol).

What follows is some Border (the 1997 Film) level bullshit. Dude in a moving chopper is able to gun down the evil Pakis and blow up their ammunition! (FYI there was a Woman alongside The real Gunjan in the REAL events, but screw that! Only Miss N can hog the limelight).

So after like one success, the film ends. With Miss N in tears, in her father’s arms. You know… Papa ki Pari and stuff…

Rating : 1 Busted Male Ego out of 10 Nari Shakti Stars.

P.S : See, its free on Netflix, if you REALLY want to waste your time, go right ahead. If you want to make a statement on Nepotism in Bollywood, don’t watch it OR pirate it, like I did.
