The Plot Analysis, and Critical Insight
The warrior engages in a vain conflict with a tale that develops on its own and creates a string of tension. A disgraced Task Force soldier who is boarding a commercial aircraft to go elsewhere is the main character. He is on a quest for atonement and vengeance.
Sagar Ambre co-directed the film, which depicts anarchy through a plot of unsteady planes and malfunctioning hydraulics. Warrior is everything—a terrible thriller and a confusing mist. It’s better left to the soldiers who don’t mind getting into unexpected danger.
The movie opens with the hero pulling a smoke bomb out of a deep river. It gives rise to the three colours of the national flag. He is skilled at putting out the smoke in the water. He performs much better in the conclusion, escaping from the entirely destroyed Nar-Kankal with the help of another smoke bomb.
No matter how giving you want to be or how much you love Siddharth Malhotra, this clandestine action movie is a crazy ride that keeps getting worse.
In the warrior, terrorists and commandos use the passengers on the aeroplane as mere pawns. It’s just not possible for them to reach from the cabin to the cargo hold at will, as anyone familiar with aeroplanes can tell you.
The majority of the action in the warrior, which is directed by Ambre and Pushkar Ojha, occurs in the passenger compartment and the areas beneath it. The film’s climax takes place in the Jinnah Hall building in Islamabad, where the prime ministers of Pakistan and India are holding peace negotiations. No prizes for sleuthing; the rivals view war as business, and there is a terrorist plot in motion to sabotage the negotiations.
The protagonist takes the lead as the passengers on the plane experience severe dissatisfaction and plunge into an uncontrollable spiral. When Warrior and his flying machine reach Herbrebrandt’s level, all they can do is stare in terror and scream. This movie defies reason and conventional sense.
The warrior’s mission is to display the prowess of an elite combatant who has been wronged by the system. For the assassination of a VIP on a plane that was taken over, he offered himself as a sacrifice—a nuclear physicist, no less. The finest soldiers from the Army, Navy, and Air Force made up his Special Warrior Task Force; it has been disassembled hastily, and members have been moved to other positions without your permission.
Siddharth Malhotra’s character, Arun Katyal, is a martyr’s son who won’t accept that he’s mistaken. He squanders time trying to exact revenge and get back his former grandeur. When the time comes, he surreptitiously takes a flight from Delhi to London, much to the surprise of everyone on board. Warrior is successful if the goal is to confuse the viewer. The movie contains exactly zero coherent scenes.
In a brief prologue, a wooden coffin containing the remains of martyred soldier Surendra Katyal (played by Ronit Roy) is brought home. Arun Katyal travels to the border between Bangladesh and India, where he summarily kills a group of nasty people—who might be terrorists, traffickers, or intruders—by going behind them.
This first scene is obviously intended to set the tone for Arun Katyal’s behaviour; cautions or conversation are not prior to action. Yes, he doesn’t wait for orders or take prisoners. He gets into difficulties because of the line of restriction.
A weak screenplay leaves viewers wondering why the young person is always deviating when a little convincing could do the trick. It also fails to give viewers a clear background for the tactics used by the protagonist.
For the patriot, everything in Warrior is deeply personal. His father served his country by giving his life, which is why he is a soldier. Senior bureaucrats testify against him following a botched mission, among them his wife Priyanka Katyal (portrayed by Rashi Khanna). Even worse, Priyanka seeks for divorce even though she values her country more than herself.
An attempt is made in vain to talk them out of their decisions is made by a family friend and Arun’s coworker (played by Tanuj Virwani), who is only a pawn and symbolically a nice Muslim without whom such a jingoistic drama would not run.
