Review By Kamal K
The movie begins on an interesting note with a brief introduction of the geopolitical backdrop. It helps one understand the basic situation even if one is not cued in with the history. However, soon things began to get complicated with the introduction of multiple characters and their tracks. The screenplay further doesn't let one get hold of things. It creates a messy feel.
The entire first hour acts as a set-up to the key block that happens post-intermission. It is this sequence that offers some engaging moments. But, even they are not executed well to give a sense of wow. They are passable at best.
The climax is the final nail in the coffin of frustration. We know there is an arresting sequence to have, but what we get is distracted output due to immensely tacky and amateurish execution.
When the main actor (Ajay Devgn) itself gets a sketchy part there is very little hope from the rest. Sharad Kelkar and Sanjay Dutt do their bits but it comes a little too late in the day. The impact is missing. Still, the latter is better, among the two. Ammy Virk, in comparison, has a better deal even though it's a short role. Noora Fatehi tries hard, but all her efforts go in vain due to the messy narrative.
