Recently, Ayushmann Khurrana’s ‘An Action Hero’ was released on Netflix this week. And, everyone is wondering– why it bombed at the box office despite being such a great movie. Anirudh Iyer-directed action-comedy thriller received a lot of positive reviews on December 2. But, even though the movie received such great reviews, it failed to perform well at the box office.
Ayushmann Khurrana’s ‘An Action Hero Movie Plot
‘An Action Hero’ revolves around a popular actor Maanav, who is famous for playing hero in action movies. The movie is about how a murder accusation turns Maanav’s life into an action thriller as he flees the country, with a vengeful politician hot on his heels.
With talented cast of Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat, this movie is a hard-hitting entertainer. And, despite being a box-office failure, this movie left the netizens very impressed.
Here’s how internet reacted to ‘An Action Hero’:

A film where story is the hero & our action hero @ayushmannk brings all d required action with his exuberant energy and fabulous performance. Right from escaping the situation to outsmart everyone, it needs ballz and how couldn’t our Hero do it pic.twitter.com/RWtlOM9BYC
Done watching #AnActionHero#AnActionHeroOnNetflix. It has to be the most bonkers & self-aware action film I’ve seen in a long long while.

• First half – BRILLIANT 🔥🔥
• Second half – Average
• Climax – Flat
Director utilises the service of Jaideep Ahlawat in best way possible 👍🏼. Ayushmann – Great.
Overall good timepass one time watch. Yes, should’ve earned more at BO!

What an amazing movie!
Has such intrinsic meanings to the entire rundown of the written draft. @ayushmannk and the team killed it as usual.🔥
I really wish more and more people make and talk about movies like these.
Ayushmann Khurrana on “An Action Hero”:
While playing Manav, Khurrana said in an interview “ It is a genre breaker for me. It is different from my staple genre of social-comedy and there is no message in it. There is pure thrill. It is a roller coaster ride,”
He further added, “This film is about an extraordinary man in an ordinary situation. The emotion of revenge is an ordinary thing but if a superstar happens to be in that ordinary situation, how does he deal with it, is what the story is about,”
Jaideep Ahlawat on “An Action Hero”
“You will not be able to say who is a hero or villain. Everyone has their own reason to do things. I never thought of the character as a villain because he has strong reasons behind Ayushmann,” he added.
