In the closing shot of Shivaay, debutant actress Sayyeshaa Saigal says, “I don’t know what to say. I am at a loss for words.” We too somewhat felt the same after watching this marathon self-indulgent and over lengthy movie that ran for a mind boggling 172 minutes. The Ajay Devgn movie drags on and on, making it a literal snooze fest after a certain point. And that is perhaps Shivaay’s biggest shortcoming.
To be fair, Shivaay opens well with a scenic shot of snow-capped mountains and a shirtless Ajay Devgn lying flat atop a snowy mountain. He springs into life to perform some high-octane action-packed moves — jumping, crawling, walking and running from one peak to another, showcasing his nimble-footed mountaineering skills.
