Black Friday Is a movie to be watched by every Indian no matter if he don't like violence movie , its a real cinema & truth we should accept because many knows only one side of a blast story, after watching movie i saw both the side which i was not aware of , accused person who were involved in blast should be given severe imprisonment , but what about other who were indirectly involved it by landing RDX ,this was not possible without their help,actors in movie are real artist ,casting was excellent location are real , blast scene were terrific , hats off to director of the movie it needs guts to make such type of cinema , worth watching this movie,
