A fake biography exaggerated to prove the subject was a saint. He could be good or bad, I am not saying he was not a good guy. But this story is fictitious. And using fiction to paint somebody's image calling it biography is wrong. Most people come out of the theater thinking it was completely true as it is tried to portray. And absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, what he did to win his cases only he knows. But if his image was to be portrayed it shouldn't have been mixed with fiction. Or it should have been claimed to be completely fictional story. Director even mixes his life's story to make the story more dramatic. I would have rated it 10/10 if it was not connected to a real person (with controversial life). He acquitted 17 people in a short period can also mean he was just a brilliant lawyer and nothing to do with innocence of people he defended. Even Dr Naik would make a brilliant lawyer but only faithful to people of his faith. Also there is no mention of how many cases he lost because he couldn't win while defending a real terrorist. So yes there can be shortcoming in Indian law enforcement but that doesn't warrant painting a lawyer (with unknown/unproved intent) as saint using fiction.
