It seems like someone saw a gripping corrupt cop drama, whilst being drunk, and wrote screenplay from memory. That screenplay was then sold to a producer who wants to make "modern" masala Hindi movies, pandering to big city youth, based on coolness and the biggest shock anti-hero, hero. A concept 50 years old.

The movie is in Hindi, yet, half of dialogues (entire sentences) are in English. Has anyone that written this movie, ever talked to cops? Speaking english doesn't turn cookie cutter dialogues into gem.

Action sequences wouldn't be considered unique or special, even in 1990s.

Acting is ok. I guess we should be thankful for that.

This is one of those rare movies that covers a serious topic like race relations, without being preachy or taking issue lightly. It also manages to avoid painting characters in plain black and white. Even though as audience, it is impossible for you to side with anyone but the lead character, you may not hate the other characters, and see a possibility of change.

Movie grips you from the start and doesn't let you go till the end. Yet, it manages to let you see and experience the place without hurry, and has time to introduce many side characters that spice up the story and gives you a full perspective of the era and region where the story is set.

Highly recommend for acting, story, and great film-making. .

The only way you can enjoy this show, if you consume a bottle of wine by yourself, chase it with a six pack and half a litre of whiskey. By then your mind would be tired and slow enough to not see the plotholes and pathetic writing of this show.
