Vibe Movie Review: Sharp Humour and High Energy Clash With Second-Half Drag
Vibe is a messy, entertaining ride that will appeal to fans of action-comedies, but its inconsistent tone and underdeveloped characters hold it back from greatness.
Kunal Kemmu's Vibe is a film that defies easy categorization, blending action, comedy, and drama into a messy yet mesmerizing whole. The result is a movie that will leave you on the edge of your seat, but also scratching your head in confusion.
Inside Chanderi's Chaos: The Menace of Sarkata
Preity Zinta and Kunal Kemmu, the film's leads, are as endearing as ever, but they're not given much to work with in terms of character development. Their friendship is the heart of the story, but it's not fleshed out enough to become a compelling emotional core. The supporting cast, including Sparsh Shrivastava and Vanshika Dhir, fares slightly better, bringing a welcome sense of levity to the proceedings. However, the script's reliance on contrived situations and convenient coincidences detracts from the overall impact of the story.

Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi's Cameos Are a Joke
While the film's tone is inconsistent, there are moments of genuine humor, courtesy of Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua and Yashpal Sharma's scenes-stealing performances. Their comedic timing is spot-on, and they add a welcome layer of depth to the movie's lighthearted moments. Unfortunately, these brief bright spots are not enough to elevate the entire film, which stumbles under the weight of its own absurdity.
A Bloated Second Half That Still Delivers Laughs
The pacing issues plaguing Vibe become more pronounced in the second half, as the film's momentum falters under the pressure of its own plot twists. Despite this, the movie's energy never truly flags, thanks in large part to its infectious soundtrack cues. The score, which blends pulsating electronic beats with catchy pop hooks, is a masterclass in creating tension and release.
