    Very real panning out of events.

    I don't generally see Bollywood crap and more so when they don't hit the limelights. But I saw this flick on TV and was instantly connected to it. Why I am forced to write this review is because most people think that the film setters or cheat India are based on unrealistic events. Even a fool of critic Taran A. said that it's just not possible in a state like India for things to happen like this. As far as story is concerned I can assure you that setting happens not only in government exams but in others too...takes place as has been shown and the film is very close to real representation of events,people and conclusions. I can say this because I have seen this. Second, aftab has acted superbly in this movie. Totally justified the role which he plays. Looks good as a police man but alas his fate...his good acting comes out in an average flick. Direction...could have been much better given the good actors they had in their cast. Overall I would say it can be watched at least once as a biography or narration based movie to see the chain of events. Shreyas talpade looks exactly as a setter would look like.

    Not extraordinary

    The concept of the movie is good however, the execution was not upto the mark.

    Movie is extremely good however the ending was really bad

    Solid writing would have saved the film BUT fails.

    The film follows the cat and mouse game between friends-turned-enemy.

    Cop Aditya (Aftab Shivdasani) and a 'setter' Apurva (Shreyas Talpade), who heads exam leaking activities in north India.

    Director Ashwini Chaudhary focusses on the cop and criminal chase more than the scams that occur in our educational system.

    The film hopes to recreate the tension you witnessed in films like Special 26 or Baby. Unfortunately, it fails.

    Shot across Jaipur, Varanasi and Delhi, Setters captures the smells and sounds of our cities and towns well. But What doesn't work is the film's inability to evoke tension.

    A thriller tht falls flat and thus feels never ending.

    Solid writing would have saved the film that has potential to be gripping....but fails.

    Extra-Ordinary movie from Real-Ordinary People !

    It leaves a BORN !!! mark on ""falsified education system in INDIA"". Movie was well-written-excecuted-perfomed as well.. Overall situations were completely unable to guess, what happens next..

    This kind of movies are next cinema, for not wasting my time.. (main police guy and beard culprit who ran away to nepal lol)

    Waiting for part 2.. (make sure not to change characters, adding any facny tom/dick/harry) Era of true voters always make flourish righteous movies.

    Good Luck Guys, I really enjoyed it with kids on age of 14-19.
