Furious 7

            Someone like Herodotus or some pretty ancient Indian Sage might have said that someday in the distant future the dead will be made alive again, they will walk, they will talk, they will jump off the cliffs by running over the bus slipping down the valley and save their own lives by holding the spoiler of the car drifting at the edge of the same cliff.

            With Some parts of the film shot by the Paul Walker and with his brothers acting as body doubles and with the up top cutting edge technology in VFX they have brought in Paul Walker digitally throughout the 7th installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise.

            This Film was the most awaited among its fans from the moment a short clip from Tokyo Drift (3rd Installment of the franchise) was shown as the hint of the coming Furious 7. And the film had its biggest emotional sympathy with the terribly sad news of, One of the leading men of the Film, Paul Walker, who played Brain O'Conner since the first part, leaving this world in a single-car accident.

            Continuing from the event of Han's (played by Sung Kan- a member of Dominic's gang) death in Tokyo Drift, the Furious 7 resumes itself, bringing in Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) as the revengeful villain, the brother of Owen Shaw (Fast-6's Villain). Shaw and Dominic come face to face after the Hans's funeral where the fight is interrupted by Covert OPS team led by Frank Petty (Kurt Russell). Dominic is offered help by Petty to track Shaw down if Dom's crew bring back a computer tracking software called God's Eye, created by a hacker, Ramsey, from Jakande's men. After almost 20-30 car jumps, too much of stunts and thousands of rounds fired, Ramsey is captured back by Dom's crew. The crew flies to Abu Dhabi where Ramsey has given the Flash Drive to a friend there. Crew recovers the Falsh Drive by Jumping over the Three Tallest buildings in Abu Dhabi, driving a fastest car parked in a pent house. (Somehow, the company of that car forget to add 'Breaks' in that vehicle and that's why Dom gets to do some stunts.) Finally Jakande, by teaming up with Shaw steals back the God's Eye to track Ramsey, who is saved by the crew in a speed vehicles combat in LA (the streets that they know best). Shaw and Dom again fight face-to-face which is intervened by Jakande in a helicopter, which is blown by Dom by throwing in Shaw's bag of grenades.

            The Dom's crew includes everyone except Gisele and Han. The Actions sequences were pretty interestingly shot by Marc Spicer and Stephen F. Windon, the Cinematographers. The four editors and the long listed VFX crew have made the film look pretty real. Not very real but, quite close to real. Music and background score do a good job keeping you glued. Production Design is one of the nicest jobs here, and it had to be with $250 million and more being spent to make this film- the costliest of the franchise.

            Dwayane Johnson is their Sunny Deol. Vin Diesel is the Sanjay Dutt. Tyrese Gibson is the one who makes us laugh with his genuine humour, like Jonny Lever and Paul Walker has the sympathy like that of Heath Ledger's while watching, The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus.

            The screenplay is just OKAY, dialogues are too clichéd, characterisation is shallow, Valleys of mountains, cliffs and the tall buildings' heights are the only things giving depth to the film. The only dialogue I liked in the film is - This time it is not just about being too fast. However, The Fast and Furious in never about the good things of film-making anyways.

            With the whole film plot completed and still keeping the space for next part, a sequence full of Paul Walker all this while with the franchise is edited with Diesel's narration that - You will always be my brother. Diesel and Walker driving like before part their ways where Walker drives down the road that leads to the Paradise, is where the film ends.

            The film is dedicated to Paul Walker.

          

  I rate the film 6/10 for the technicians and crew, for delighting us by keeping Paul Walker throughout the film and for a nice touch of Ali Fazal seen sharing screen with the Dom's crew and Kurt Russell.
