Disappointed after watching the film, having heard such marvellous reviews.
Rajkumar Rao has done a fantastic job as the protagonist. But Hansal Mehta has done so much better than this in other films.
The screenplay is not up to the mark in any sense. We are jumping from one scene to another, without spending adequate time on important details. Omar's initial arrest, release, flight hijack, role in 9/11- everything is flipped through at a very fast pace while we spend such a long time on him luring foreigners before abducting them.
Also, the conversion of the LSE student to a jihadi is pretty unconvincing. Should have been explored at greater length.
