Dutt, who made his debut with “Rocky” in 1981, has showcased versatility in his roles, spanning from the heartbroken lover to the formidable antagonist. In the action drama “Jawan,” he takes on the role of a police officer tasked with negotiating with the anti-hero, portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan as Azad. Fans, responding to this revelation, have flooded social media with a mix of spoilers and praise for Dutt’s performance.
“Jawan” is a film that pays homage to various movies, catering to the tastes of both Bollywood and Hollywood enthusiasts. Fans from both cinematic worlds will enjoy spotting references throughout the movie. Before the ultimate resolution of his mission, Khan’s vigilante character exhibits influences from iconic figures like The Joker, Darkman, and even a touch of Dennis Hopper’s character from “Speed.” Kaali, the protagonist, intriguingly dispenses red and blue pills, a clever concept as he works towards subverting the system.
