'Vibe' X Reactions: Viewers Call It A 'Fun Theatrical Watch', Some Find The Second Half 'Weak'
Kunal Kemmu’s second directorial outing earns 3 stars for its lively first half and sharp cast, before the story loses momentum.
- Bollywood's new spy comedy Vibe, directed by Kunal Kemmu, delivers a goofy, good-natured narrative that earns a 3 stars rating.
- Rather than a traditional spoof, the film functions as a "goof-off" that builds a fun, self-contained bubble, featuring nods to "Kill Bill'; red and blue pills are very" Matrix.
- Director Kemmu surrounds himself with a strong cast, including Sparsh Srivastava as the straight-faced Bugs and newcomer Vanshika Dhir, while Preity Zinta leads as Madam.
- Kunal Kemmu portrays Hardik, a slacker and coder who anchors the comedic chaos, while the film maintains a zippy pace, improving upon his directorial debut, Madgaon Express.
- A sequel seems likely given the film's open-ended hook, and future installments could improve further if Kemmu gives the supporting ensemble more screen time.
