      Refreshing movie, different from all other movies

      This movie is refreshing. A different kind from all other movies. I was bored of watching movies with same repeated stories in different forms. This movie came as a relief. Really liked the movie. The humor at the first half was too good. Second half could have been made better, but I liked it. Both the female protagonists rocked it. I don't usually write reviews. Sad to see lesser rating from others. This movie should really need a higher rating. I would recommend everyone to watch it. Watch it without any expectations on a night when you are bored. You would definitely like it. Bring more movies like this, Netflix.

      Yet another girl power movie

      The movie is a girl power action comedy. Two women from different backgrounds meet at a police training. They resolve their differences and become good friends. They solve a kidnap case like they are james bond. I was under an impression that Indian cinema is slowly distancing itself from one man hitting 100 people. But this one is one woman hiyying 100s of people. A typical action movie with no big surprises.

      The first half od the movie is funny and breezes through the eye. The second part is actually the heavy weight. The stunt sequences in the second half were great. Showing all other police officials in a bad light was unwarranted. The reason for the kidnap was novel and was interesting. They could have added more power to villain. That might have helped. The climax lacked that drama.

      All in all, we can watch the movie once. Not more than that.

      Must watch Women Centric Action Comedy!

      Great initiative - one of those rare women centric police/action-cum-comedy movie with realistic action sequences and fun moments. Love how light hearted the movie starts, and slowly starts churning out the real story. Starts off as a typical college/University based movie plot and evolves into a more serious story. Nivetha Thomas and Regina Cassandra show excellent command over the language (Telugu) and share a beautiful rapport on screen. If you are looking for something sensible and fun to watch, over lunch or over dinner, you could add this to your list! One of Netflix's good additions lately.

      Shalini and Damini rocks!!

      A simple story with nice comedy and actions. Both actresses were great and a nice to see such more movies in future that are more women actors than men. This will bring more equality in the entertainment industry too.

      The film cinematography is also good but could have been better.

      Even though movie is not in Hindi but it was great watching with subtitles and Bollywood should learn how to come with such stories and explore more than making same old masla.

      Content should be interesting not boring and at the same time not too much of hype. Which this movie is able to deliver it right.

      It's a go.

      Copy of the Korean movie "midnight runners"

      Basically in the Korean one, they had two men training and in this one, there's two women, the rest is pretty much the same other than this being overdramatic. As much as I liked the Korean (original) one, I just couldn't seem to like it a lot due to it not portraying a real life scenario, everything seemed a little too much, that's what I personally feel. The beginning when they were messing with each other could've been shortened a bit and their bonding time could've been extended a little as well. But one that must be mentioned is the effort the actresses took build up the structure of it was truly appreciable.
