Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller


Boring and less intriguing, however watchable!



You may look forward to:

• Amitabh Bachchan carries his charm on! Nothing extraordinary in this film, yet he is the main lead of the film
• Aditi Rao Hydari is cute, she suits this profile perfectly. Contrary to my expectations, she has good enough screen presence
• Manav Kaul is amazing. This actor is finally getting his due in film industry. He can perform and that he shows with every film he appears in
• Mazel Vyas has an apt role, she is one of the major pivots of the story and she plays it well

What you can sleep over:

• Farhan Akhtar could have done a lot better than this. He unfortunately has no meat in the story or the role that he is playing. Nevertheless, it is always a pleasure to watch him on big screens
• Neil Nitin Mukesh does a good job, he does fit in the bad man attitude. Alas! He has such a minuscule role to play, audience would not mind some more of him in such context
• John Abraham is a pity, do not go by his screen presence in the trailers, he has practically no role in this film. Yet he is worth mentioning

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• The pace of the movie is its major dampener, its extremely slow. Paired with its not so thrilling storyline makes it a boring watch
• All the while i kept wondering, why was the police force helping one old man's cause falling in the words of a suspended cop. From sealing all the exits of the city so that 'Pandit Ji' cant reach the airport,to tapping a minister's phone line, to aiding 'Danish' for a shootout, just doesn't make appropriate sense. Including the many ways 'Wazir' makes contact, and the final explanations, that someone created the entire scene, a hell lot stuffs not as easy to digest. Any audience can easily catch the many loop holes if you watch this film for the second time. Very loosely constructed script

My Rating: 2.5/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
