Seriously , the script achieves the famous saying , " The Script is the Star ". Anil kapoor has played some ironic roles in the past but he outdoes himself in this film. He has given such an emotional performance. And there's the stage sequence, perhaps the best scene in the film. i didn't wanna reveal the story for you all but i suggest you to definitely watch this out .It was such a relief for me after watching Coolie no.1. Story was fun , gripping. A must watch!!

AK vs AK is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language black comedy thriller film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and is the first release under his banner Andolan Films. Anurag Kashyap, the executive producer and dialogue writer, also stars alongside Anil Kapoor as the title characters, with Yogita Bihani, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Harshvardhan Kapoor in supporting roles. The story, written by Avinash Sampath, utilises a film-within-a-film narrative where the main actors play fictionalised versions of themselves. After a public feud between Kashyap, an eccentric film director, and Anil Kapoor, an aging film star, the former kidnaps the latter's daughter (Ahuja) and forces Kapoor to search for her while his assistant (Bihani) films them as part of his next project, with most of the film shown from the perspective of her camera.

A very different and entertaining film. A film you would or will never see in indian films. Three cheers for Anil Kapoor for doing a very risky role along with his family. It is not easy to laugh at yourself and your mistakes. Anurag Kashyap is good as the villain. These two are the central characters along with cameos from Sonam Kapoor and Harshavardhan kapoor. In these times of remakes this film is a breath of fresh air. Absolutely recommended.

Sanki posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
This is a great one shot movie and looks very realistic. Anil Kapoor was great as usual. Anurag Kashyap was also good but to be honest he should stick to being a director and not an actor. Luckily Sonam had barely any screen time which is again a great thing about this movie. The songs were good , it was actually not a dark comedy but a comedy movie. Action scenes were also realistic. But the ending is quite irritating and annoying, a plot-twist to say the least. The rap song at the end was sung by Anil Kapoor himself so it was surprising and good at the same time. It also has a lot of references related to Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor 's career .

Babu posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
Just saw this movie, and I highly recommend it. The movie is raw with desperation and hope. It plays with your mind and your sense of right and wrong, one minute you'll be feeling bad for one AK and the very next you'd wish he'd just roll over and die! It is simplistic but replete with moments that pull you in and keep you wanting for it to end and keep going at the same time. AK vs AK is a job well done for the addicts of film noir and fits perfectly with the Netflix genre of making you uncomfortable in your skin! As real as it gets.

Thickna posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
AK VS AK gets off to an unconvincing start as the proceedings look rather patchy and spoof like. However, it quickly gathers pace and becomes believable enough. As Anil Kapoor works hard on gathering the little clues available and begins his hunt for the missing daughter, the film turns quite riveting. It turns a tad slow somewhere in between as chases become repetitive, but Anil Kapoor keeps matters heady, showing his histrionics effectively. Director Vikramaditya Motwane must be lauded for making the film with minimal resources, that gives the script, narrative and Anil Kapoor to play to their maximum strength. Harshvardhan, Boney and Sonam Kapoor play little cameos. The ending of AK VS AK is perhaps the icing on the cake, a splendid, mouthwatering disclosure that may surprise the viewers.

Lime posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
I mean this is crazy on another level. An totally experimental film which has turn out to be an awesome entertainer. Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and starring Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap as exaggerated versions of themselves this movie keeps you glued to the screen mostly because of effortless and super natural performances. Its like you are watching it all real. Anil Kapoor really stands tall on the performances part. This can be described as one of his best performances. Vikramaditya Motwane is one of the most promising directors of our time and here he does an excellent job through this mad film. Harsh Vardhan Kapoor in a cameo is super awesome. All in all this one is a mad ride and you will enjoy it.

Frankly I was not expecting much from this movie but it surely made me change my opinion. This movie surely shows acting mantle of majorly Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap surely tries to cope up. One can surely expect roller coaster ride of thriller, drama and action. Movie catches some minute details from personal life as well like Nawaz and Anurag's conversation, public calling Anurag as Anurag Basu ,Anil Kapoor as actor has to undergo fanfame by dancing clicking pictures with them. In all its a good package and one should definitely watch this one except for those who are want comedy or light hearted movies.

The plot is good. Anurag's acting was very realistic and convincing. Even Bonny Kapoor's short appearance was pretty good. Anil's son overacted too much. It was a good script, good direction. Camera work was above average. The cast and make-up could have been better. All the side actors-actresses were not looking or acting like normal people, I mean their acting looked like acting. Its a must watch. Should be nominated for all film festivals, Best Ani Kapoor Performance ever.

"AK vs AK" had a brand new concept and excellent acting by Anil Kapoor who carried the entire movie on his shoulders. A worth watching darkish mockumentary. The plot is very unique and never seen before in Indian cinema. Anil Kapoor's outstanding performance and Anurag Kashyap's raw & witty dialogues makes it one of the finest films of the year. Avinashi Sampath and Vikramaditya Motwane's screenplay offers many gripping moments. After lots of thrills and chills, the climax will also keep its viewers hooked.

Roshan posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
AK Vs AK is a dark comedy and story which pans out in a single night. Shot in real time, it definitely feels like single shot movie. Something that hasn't been tried out till date in Bollywood. The story deals with a spat between a director and an actor played by Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor (playing themselves) respectively. These two gentlemen have a public spat on a live talk show post which Anurag kidnaps Sonam Kapoor and poses a challenge to Anil Kapoor to find her before sunrise. This is supposed to be Anurag's new film to be shot Realtime with the camera capturing the chase without any cuts or edits. Will Anil Kapoor be able to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the evil director forms the crux of the film. Both the AK's have performed very well especially Anil Kapoor, performing his Zhakkas and Ae Ji Oh Jee act multiple times. He breezes through the film seamlessly, hallmark of a legend. There is also a twist in the end Awesome climax.

Loved the performance of AK after Slumdog movie is worth watching. New Genre to me & India. Real in real cinema, Never have a single dull moment and story goes with good speed, Acting was so amazing by Anurag & Anil Kapoor. Anil ji is still looking actually young, not just look but energy was on a different level. Good experience with new cinema

Worth every minute of your time and it is way too real, Motwane is a genius! The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout its extent. It is very well conceptualized and it just blows my mind how good of an actor Anil Kapoor is, He is a phenom for certain and Anurag Kashyap is making India proud just by being this amazing, he should surely be well revered for his art. Brilliant work by Anil Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap and Vikram Aditya Motwani. Wonderful story, plot, screenplay and direction added up outstanding acting performance.

Anil Kapoor was the best part about this movie, he was so convincing and natural. Anurag Kashyap was mostly poor with his acting. Harsh Vardhan showed good screen presence in his limited role. The direction, screenplay, music and cinematography were pretty good. The ending was kind of a disappointment. Overall a decent movie with a fresh plot. Unique story line. Don't go by the negative reviews. It is a fun thriller.

Abi posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
Ak vs Ak is certainly a different movie rather than the other clashed Bollywood movies. But frankly casting is not up to the mark. Only Anil Kapoor did a good job in terms of acting. Anurag Kashyap not directing and he is acting in the movie, is the biggest weak point of the movie. The movie would have been better if they have casted any other actor. But we should appreciate the new concept otherwise Bollywood uncles will continue to ruin the movies as they have done in the past. Really loved this movie.

Ram posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
The story is not new actually as many movies based on hostage rescue made before but the unique way of storytelling and direction by Vikramaditya Motwani with different way of shooting and very natural acting performances make Ak vs Ak a worth watch movie. Specially Anil Kapoor has done really great job as actor without any surprises of course. The film is a must watch watch film because the acting from both is unbeatable.

This movie is a real-time shootout (like a documentary film) where actors played roles by their real names. Anil Kapoor has been a proven actor in several decades of Hindi movie. However, the acting of Anurag Kashyap has overlapped him in many cases. Its a cat and mouse game between these two (interestingly both initial is AK) which is hilarious but good to watch as well. I enjoyed watching the full movie , it is complete entertainer , but , the ending could be better , rest all ok.

Pandi posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
The movie is absolutely fluid. I mean the story is very original, I have never seen a movie with this script before. Also, in the movie, all the characters play their personalities in their own lives. If you've watched a few Bollywood movies, you know that the movies are usually long. But this movie is not like that, so it will not cause much trouble for those who are bored with long songs. Plus the song playing at the end of the movie is one of the funniest songs I've heard. Also, the shooting of the movie is very realistic. You should watch it guys. I love it i think you will love it either.

This is probably the best movie of 2020, watch it now if you want something different, thrilling with black comedy . Story set in present, Anurag a desperate, sociopolitical director & Anil a successful actor enjoying his lavish life. After a spat, sonam got kidnapped , story as follows as now anil have to find her before sunrise. Story is totally new & different, screenplay grabs you from the beginning to the end, dialogues are appropriate with sarcastic black comedy , terrific performance each and every actor made their presence felt and really great direction, cinematography, camera work ,editing & other technical aspects are perfect. Watch if you wanna change your taste in 2020. If you liked Delhi Belly, watch this Now.

Ester posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
This is Bollywood's first ever attempt to create a meta film of this scale and boy this is interesting. For sure the film is something which is not seen on Indian screens for now and it is totally entertaining. The script is tightly knitted. Anil Kapoor's performance is out of the park. The cinematography is unique, intelligently crafted long shots are not something which is Bollywood is known for nor does the audience have a particular appetite for them, yet they create a long lasting impression on the audience.

Ak vs Ak stars anil kapoor and anurag kashyap and many actors playing themselves in a fictional plot. When anil kapoor and anurag kashyap have a fight in media, anurag gets boycotted from the industry. In order to bounce back, anurag approaches anil on his birthday revealing that his daughter sonam is kidnapped and he must find her before sunrise. All this would be shot by anurag for his next film. Rest of the film is how anil finds sonam. Plot is very interesting. It drives the whole film. Anil kapoor is energetic as usual and kashyap just plays himself. Sonam kapoor is pathetic even being kidnapped as she appears with heavy makeup. But the climax is little disappointing which is like compromised to satisfy the male superstar ego. On the whole, ak vs ak is another different offering from vikramaditya motwane.

Ak vs Ak meaning Anil kapoor an actor versus Anurag Kashyap a director and actor as well . This is going to be one of the most interesting we have watched , mostly in the bollywood. The risk taken by the director of this movie is just out of the box. The movie is the revenge between the two AK of the Bollywood cinema. In the movie they criticises each other in every way they can . This is an interesting movie to watch and see the clash.

Ujjwal posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
I always look forward to a Vikramaditya Motwane film. He always tries to do something new and there's no guessing what he's gonna come up with next. AK vs AK is another experimental but fun film to watch. After a public feud with Anil Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap decides to take revenge by kidnapping his daughter and films Kapoor's search for her in real time. I was curious to see how a film like this would play out as it's something Bollywood doesn't normally do. I love the idea of a film being meta and there have been some great ones in the past like Adaptation. AK vs AK had a very interesting concept and whilst it's execution isn't completely perfect, I was still pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. Whilst Kapoor and Kashyap play heightened versions of themselves, it was fun to see the amount of insults hurled at one another with some jokes made about the Bollywood industry. Despite knowing this is a work of fiction, Vikramaditya Motwane and Avinash Sampath sprinkle enough truths to make it seem authentic enough. The experimental reality show style filled with long takes really demands the acting chops of Kapoor and Kashyap. There are some great scenes such as a certain chase sequence and one taking place at a police station which asks a lot from Anil Kapoor who gives it his all. I have to admire the amount of work and effort he put into this role since there was so much he had to do. I haven't seen Anurag Kashyap act before but he did a pretty decent job with his evil smirk. AK vs AK has its handful of inside jokes but Motwane doesn't stop there as he also examines the effect of being famous and the relationship stars have with fans. During his search, Kapoor is constantly asked by the public for selfies and autographs and also has to perform for them before he gets the answers he needs to find Sonam Kapoor. It further shows how the public have the power. Despite enjoying the film, here were some flaws present. By the third act the film eventually loses steam and the end twist did not work for me. For what it was, I think AK vs AK is a film worth your time. It's rare to come across movies like this in Bollywood and whilst it's one of Motwane's weaker films, I would still like people to give it a try and support inventive and experimental content like this.

This thriller drama by Vikramaditya Motwane has been quite mind blowing. The movie shows the revenge of an insulted director with a movie star. It's like a fight between an actor and a director. But it remains to be seen who will win in the end. Making this kind of picture is quite risky. But the director did not hesitate to take that risk. And finally presented with sufficient efficiency. Overall it would be nice to see the movie with family members. Director - Vikramaditya Motwane Language - Hindi Runtime - 1 hour 48 minutes Rated - U/A Genre - Thriller, Drama My Rating : a. Plot - 4/5 b. Acting - 3.8/5 c. Direction - 4/5 d. Soundtrack - 3.5/5 e. Visuals - 3.8/5

Sonu posted a review for AK vs AK (2020) in Movies
The film starts with an interview of Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor. The interview suddenly gets too heated and Anurag throws a glass of water on Anil’s face. Anurag Kashyap’s behavior costs him a lot and he suddenly loses all his projects and is portrayed as “ Anurag Kashyap is demonetized “ in the media channels. Motwane very cleverly plans his dialogues. He then gets an idea because of which he kidnaps Sonam and tells Anil to find her. All of this is happening for real. And so a Taken like hunt begins.
