It is not uncommon for action movies to have elaborate fight sequences that feel painful and visceral to the audience. In fact, whenever the filmmakers are able to leave their audience members with an unsettling feeling after a fight sequence, it is considered a job well done. But, there are certain action filmmakers, specifically the ones that make Hindi action movies and Tamil action movies, that take a different approach to the same. These storytellers opt for gravity and logic-defying action set pieces, which in fact add to the entertainment value of the feature. This article will talk about a total of 5 such Hindi and Tamil action movies that have highly exaggerated action set pieces.
Singham (2011)
The first one on the list of Hindi action movies to have highly exaggerated action set pieces is the 2011 Ajay Devgn-starrer. From rotating cars to Ajay Devgn’s character, Bajirao Singham, seemingly gaining superhuman strength, this movie has several such entertaining and yet satisfying moments. This film can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
Thupakki (2012)
This Thalapathy Vijay-starrer is one of the actor’s more critically acclaimed movies of his career, but even then, the movie has a handful of over-the-top sequences, such as the one involving our leading man and Vidyut Jammwal. This movie can be streamed on JioCinema.
Simmba (2018)
The next entrant in the list of Hindi action movies with over the top action set pieces is the Rnveer Singh-starrer Simmba, a movie that is now a part of Rohit Shetty’s planned cop universe. Much like in the case of Singham, Simmba has no trouble breaking down walls, tossing human bodies as if they are weightless, and catching up with the antagonists while running in record time. This film can be streamed on ZEE5 Global.
Sivaji The Boss (2007)
The next movie on the list of Tamil action movies that belong to this list is this iconic Rajinikanth-starrer, which sees the legendary actor play a successful software engineer who returns to India in order to invest in its welfare. But, this effort goes in vain at first, as he finds out that there are several corrupt officials and politicians who want to stop him. This movie has some of the most iconic over the top set pieces of all time. You can stream this actioner on ZEE5 Global.
Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011)
The final entry in this particular list is the film that saw the three Deols reunite after 2007’s Apne. This film, however, is very different from their previous outing together in terms of tone, stakes, comedy, and action. On the subject of action, one of the most hilarious action sequences ever produced by the Hindi film industry can be found in the final few scenes of this movie. That attribute of the movie alone makes this comic action-caper a must watch with your family if you are simply in a mood for some popcorn entertainment.
