Featured reviews
First of all it's not a legit movie , it's a spoof movie. People need to understand that. It's not a perfect movie by a long shot but is still enjoyble. Makes it to the list of your guilty pleasures. Acting was great, I loved the whole cast especially diljeet, Varun and Zeeshan. Biswapati Sarkar too was great as always. Script had a great potential but the major problem I had with the movie was that a big chunk of the movie was deviated from where it initially started and was feeling like a legit movie. Hollywood has produced some great spoof movies and the thing that made them great was not one scene felt like it was a legit movie. In this, the start was solid, you knew what kind of movie this is going to be, but then somewhere in the middle it lost it's track. It started taking itself seriously. This continued for around 40 min till the climax part which is btw, the best part of the movie. There they knew what they were making. It's genuinely hilarious. The whole movie should've been that way. One more criticism is that the songs especially the sunny leone one, should've been like fast forwarded animation or something. They were making fun of the generic bollywood crap but they themselves got caught in the trap. Overall a step in the right direction.
Watch this movie not for its story, but when it is for a time when you want to relax, do nothing, think nothing, for pure entertainment. Few punchlines, jokes are hilarious and you have the right combination of people to deliver it. You have just fine actors like Diljeet and Varun Sharma who really are just not acting but enjoying their acting, Their comic timings are world renowed and its fun to watch them together on screen. Kirti Soman plays her role very subtly, we all know she may not be a comedy type delivery person but kind of does justice to her role with her beauty. If you are no nonsense type of person, then dont even dare to watch it because you would judge it wrong however, if you are fun loving person, who knows when to enjoy a good laugh, then this is just for you .. So Enjoy !!!
Wastage of money and just time pass.
I think it was for kids under 10 and suddenly mature people bought the tickets to watch it.
If you've watched enough spoof comedies like scary movie ( easiest to understand for noobs), 300 spoof, etc. only then you're going to cherish it's making. This is a police spoof comedy whose humour is complex enough to be misjudged to be a drama comedy movie. People would expect a story line but they should understand that all spoof comedies are only made to mock a mainstream movie. All the reviews saying that it doesn't have a story line and it is mindless (kuch bhi ho rha hai) don't understand this genre at all. Such people should not watch it as they won't understand it.
This movie mocks the hit Indian formula of a righteous cop like singham, Simba, dabbang. Which do wonders at single screen cinemas. The mockery is hillariously complex and executed in a great manner that you'll understand only if you've a nack and understanding for spoof comedies. If yes, then you should watch it coz it's style of spoof is somewhat fresh and new. If not, then please go and watch mainstream bollywood movies and wait for singham 3 or whatever you want.

Can you make a farce about a police force that accepts bribes, misuses its authority to break contracts to promote girl friends for its members and ultimately promotes criminals to kill each other in public? Well, you can make a farce about anything. Depending on how you handle it, it can actually be funny. This movie pulls out the stops in terms of reducing the war on crime to a sports-season elimination match and individual gunfights to video-game notation as one way of dehumanizing criminals, making their deaths funnier to an audience predisposed to dislike them anyway. Why it makes all the criminals Sikhs is not something that is clear to me, unless it's simply because its set in the Punjab.
It starts out with a screenwriter trying to talk a movie producer into buying his script. On hearing it has lots of heroes, criminals, jokes, a beautiful girl or six, and several dance numbers, the producer announces he has never read a script in his career and accepts. the writer insists on reading the script to him anyway.
Diljit Dosanjh wins a judo competition, which means he is hired to be a police captain at a small station. He has no training for the job, and he accepts the station door that falls off, the cow kept on the grounds, and is baffled by the computer on his desk. His first order of business is to acquire a girl friend, and he soon settles on statuesque newscaster Sunny Leone. His second order of business is to please his superior by wiping out crime in his precinct. His means of attaining this is to figure out who the criminals in his district are, then set them against each other. He and his staff keep charts like a elimination tournament while the bad guys eliminate each other, then claim that 'the police are always late' Miss Leone begins to catch on, and she disapproves of the unnecessary deaths.
It's clear me that there are many efforts made to dehumanize the characters in the movie, to make it easier to laugh at their bloody deaths. The movie makes it clear that it is a fiction. When the criminals are fighting, little eight-bit video game scores appear next to them as they get shot, knifed or hit by a brick. Just at the point where matters grow serious, there is a musical number.
These efforts are partially successful. It's not clear to me that someone involved in the production wasn't intent on satirically deconstructing the way things work, both in the corrupt real world and in movies. If so, it remains stuck deep in the subtext of the film.
Some of the jokes worked. Some didn't.
