The action sequences received a positive response
One of the biggest controversies surrounding ‘Blast’ has been its action choreography. The ETimes review said, “The best of Blast, however, lies in the small details. For example, the biggest action stunt in the film doesn’t come from Arjun or Preity. And I know who you’re thinking, it’s not Abhirami either. Instead, the film gives a fourth person its most pivotal action, which makes the setup interesting. From an amazing introductory fight sequence of Preity, the film has a block of action every five to ten minutes. However, it rarely becomes superfluous, thanks to the exciting twists that are foreseen.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article have been collected from public and industry sources.
