Dhar (Amitabh Bachchan) lost both his limbs in an accident; he cannot possibly drive a vehicle, let alone a van. And if he did have some contraption fitted to his legs, it would be nearly impossible to get into the driver's seat from the rear of the van without help from another person. See more »Soundtracks

It is not very often that a Hindi movie script leaves you in awe and amaze at the very end. I read few reviews and was aware that the ending has a 'twist'. However, I could not guess it throughout the movie. Watch it for the end if for nothing else.
The movie revolves around the friendship of an intelligence officer (Farhan) who lost his daughter trapped in a gun fire with terrorists and a Chess enthusiast (Amitabh) who has lost his legs and family to some ill fortunes. The plot is gripping and movie is in general fast paced. Movie boasts of a power packed performance by Amitabh who makes his character come to life. Farhan did a decent enough job and was convincing in his act. Aditi seemed unnecessary and was silent through almost all scenes.
I would give it a solid 8.
