So, straight away, the best thing about A Flying Jatt is the fumbling Jatt played by Tiger Shroff. Wicked industrialist Malhotra (Kay Kay) wants Aman's family's lands, which hold a sacred tree, for his polluting industries. Aman's mother, Mrs. Dhillon (Amrita), ferociously opposes Malhotra - but Aman quakes before him, intimidated by most things on earth, including his own martial arts students.
Can Aman ever stand up to Malhotra and his huge henchman Raka (Nathan) - and can he fight his own fears?
Tiger does a neat job as Aman, shivering superhero who fights crime but also buys 'do kilo lauki' on the way home. Tiger's evolution, from a kind but confused kid on the block, to a focused and fierce fighter, comes across well as do the film's light moments, including Aman as 'Sunny Leone'. Amrita Singh, literally playing a Tiger Mom, displays feisty panache, berating her son for having 'dole-shole, no jigra', delivering wisdom with slaps and guzzling drinks galore. The banter between her, Tiger and Aman's fun-loving brother Rohit (Gaurav) is fresh good fun.
