Featured review

Revenge is best served cold, but how far can you get to get your revenge, that's the real question

What worked:

music and background score; it's one of Vishal-Shekhar's best albums so far. The songs are beautiful, shot beautifully but the problem is they have got very little to do with the narrative and flow of the movie.
ensemble cast; it's a good mix of characters. Bachhan Pandey is the only character that stood in the movie, which isn't great but relatively better than other characters.

What did not work:

everything else; the action scenes are horrible though the set design is impressive. The screenplay is poor so is the execution. The makers could have choreographed the action scenes better which would make it a better watch. We have to say it's a missed opportunity, a few ones that could have defined the genre in the industry. The narrative is poor and questionable. Cinematography is okay. We expected much more from the movie considering a great cast. Their role could have been written and executed properly. Sadly, the movie is full of plot holes and loopholes, and we can question the authenticity and the reasoning behind many scenes in the movie. On conclusion, poor direction.
