A two hours action packed movie won't hurt my eyes, I felt so until I discovered that Hollywood was just a cover for just movies, Bangladeshi-wood which is Bangladesh and movie-wood is entirely a different world
So, here is an honest opinion of Din- The Day movie which had Ananta Jalil as the main star of the movie: Here you go
As someone who enjoys action films, I was very excited to see this one. After researching Ananta Jalil, I came to the conclusion that he was to Bangladeshi cinema what James Bond actor Daniel Craig is to Hollywood. Regrettably, I am unable to compare him to any Nollywood action movie star because there aren't many action films made locally in my country; instead, we tend to make epic and humorous films instead.
Although I was running some mathematical correlations about the likelihood of seeing something akin to Zeeworld acting, I had conditioned my mind to believe that I would have a mind-blowing experience with Ananta. However, the experience was not far from that.
Ananta Jalil was portrayed as a member of the elite SWAT team whose main goal was to ensure that he stopped the criminal activities of the drug syndicate and general terrorism in Din-The Day, which appears to be a collaborative effort between the Iranian and Bangladeshi film industries to produce a blockbuster.
The two-and-a-half-hour film was masterfully written; the scene where Ananta Jalil rescues a woman being pursued by bandits was impressive; the scriptwriting was unquestionably on target; and the abrupt appearance of Ananta Jalil to begin the action movie was lovely.
It began intensely and then developed into what I believe to be a romantic spark between the girl and Ananta, which I thought was pretty understandable.
When compared to Hollywood standards, the film effects were very subpar, but when compared to Nollywood films released in 2022, I would say Din- The Day did little justice to effect. The bullet wounds were obvious signs that the movie was a fake; I understand that, but portraying it as real is what gets us out of our seats or blows us away.
I was literally seeing the fake bullets piercing into the cars or the gunshot wounds showing that it is very fake but the driving and jumping skills were executed beautifully, it truly showed how great Ananta Jalil was as a SWAT member and how the security agent was bent on destroying these international drug lords and terrorist.
I noticed that the movie was staged in different countries, offering us a chance to have a feel of an international movie feels like, just like very popular action movie, we love to see the action spreading to various cities of the world and Din-The day was careful enough not to neglect that element of action movie by ensuring we felt that experience.
I would say that this is a significant accomplishment given that Nollywood action movies are typically set in one central city in Nigeria, and despite having a great script or storyline, it lacks the thrill of visiting other cities with interesting topography that would affect the star's ability to perform and demonstrate why he is dubbed the next James Bond of Bollywood. In this case, the star is Ananta Jalil.
Although I had a hard time comprehending the soundtrack, I was confident that it suited the purpose for the scenes that it was utilized for and thus depicts the idea of the writers and filmmakers of the film. The inclusion of song and dance makes the movie unique, and I give congratulations for the music choices.
The camera settings and the crazy perspectives in every movie are beautiful; they reflect the beauty our eyes see and are captured by a camera's lens. The way a film was shot largely determines how far forward an industry it is today. Din- The Day was expertly filmed, and thanks to the cameramen.
The drone settings and close-up video sets were outstanding, and every scenario was flawlessly carried out. This is one of the reasons I exclaimed "wow" during some truly amazing parts in the film.
In general, I firmly believe that while the movie business has advanced with camera perspectives throughout time, Nollywood is also significantly leading in the art of filmmaking to give that direct focus on scenes, and it is undoubtedly amazing to see.
Lastly, there would be no "End Game" without key casts like the strong team in the Avengers, same goes for James Bond without Daniel Craig and a whole of movies or TV series that was based on using the right character to portray the written scripts.
I do not need anyone too convince otherwise that Ananta Jalil was the perfect pick for this movie, he had all the needed features to show that he was the right man for the movie. He truly shows that he is an action-packed actor whose purpose is to leave the viewers guessing what his next line of action would be or what stunt he would pull for us to watch.
I was definitely satisfied seeing him take the role as the main character and I think if I have to forgive the production team for the fake effects used in a beautifully written movie, I would have given a rating of 7/10 on the movie, but due to what was shown I would give a decent 5/10 on the Din-The Day movie.
