Featured reviews
Romeo Akbar Walter is a thriller movie directed by Robbie Grewal and stars John Abraham, Jackie Shroff, Mouni Roy, Sikandar Kher, Raghubir Yadav, Rajesh Shringpure and Alka Amin.
There have been lots of negative and probably biased reviews by the critics but the movie of not perfect but a great thriller. The best part of the movie is the climax and the meaningful dialogues.
John Abraham has been doing such movies quite recently and did his this job with utmost perfection and honesty. Jackie Shroff is already a legend and knows how to do his job with perfection and played his character like Mozart playing piano. Mouni Roy was surprisingly good. Alka Amin and Raghubir yadav are another bunch of talent and were great in their respective characters. Sikandar Kher and Shadaab Khan came onscreen after a long time and were good.
Although the movie is slightly predictable but the way it's executed should be appreciated. The screenplay is tight although romantic angle could've been avoided. Background music is good.
If you are planning to watch the movie kindly ignore the negative reviews and watch this good if not great movie.

I think people downrating it comparing it to Raazi are misguided. The overall story is much more complex than Raazi. I do think that it could have done with more deft execution but I didn't find it as slow as websites are saying. Reviews by media houses are pathologically biased because the movie is based on a nationalistic theme. Its definitely not a bore and is pretty intense especially in the second half. It's not overtly jingoistic and maintains a good realistic tone. Infact, the conclusion is much better than Raazi. I felt that the story with Mouni Roy could have been done away with. The true surprise is Jackie Shroff. He's a complete show stealer. Overall its a solid 8 from me.
It's a fantastic movie with great screenplay it's not typical bollywood it's par with Hollywood real drama it's slow but it's super script which need to be understand with every scene which are above average human understanding limits which is why its intelligence people movie
Movie is a decent one time watch with few good surprises and the ending though bit predictable, is very beautifully executed. John is almost good in his role, only problem with him was he wasnt able to showcase all emotions properly, one such example of such role would be of Leonardo decaprio in The Departed, he would actually show his real self once he is alone and audience will get familiar with him. Here john remains a silent person throughout the movie which sort of looked like a shortcoming on his character part. Rest cast was ok. Surprises were good but still it lacked the sharpness possessed by Raazi. Overall again it can be said, its a decent one time watch, because Bollywood makes great peaces of crap and this flick surely is among good attempts towards better cinema. one time only
Not sure about the other reviews but I think it was definitely a good script, good acting. Worth 8 stars.
