Hits
- Abhishek Bachchan is picture perfect as the aggressive cop. Top class show. He looks the part as well.
- Good songs by Pritam
- The film moves very well in the initial stages due to some stylish editing and great visuals. Quite daring for Indian film standards.
- Rana Daggubati looks macho and mean but is very limited in emoting. Bipasha Basu again looks fabulously sexy.
- Prateik Babbar as the young Lorry is a natural. His childish voice also suits the part he plays
Misses
- The film loses grip towards the end. A slow moving screenplay might be the reason.
- The climatic twists are also not very shocking. They leave very little impact.
- The decision to kill the lead police character really backfires. That too for a movie of this genre and that too after showing him in all his glory for most of the film.
VERDICT
Half baked attempt. Could have been much better given the promising plot and interesting initial scenes.
