Goofs:

Miscellaneous: When Bala is fighting his way through the horde of guards inside the prison building, right before he gets stabbed in the back, the guy who stabs him steps on a baseball bat. The bat is completely hollow (so when it was used in filming it didn't actually injure anyone), but when the stabber steps on it, the bat is crushed and actually bends in the middle.

Quotes:

Balajeet Roy: Don't give me such a big punishment for a little mistake in the past?
Rohit Chopra: [furious] LITTLE MISTAKE? Due to your mistake my sister had to commit suicide and you had to rot in hell for fourteen years!

Some of you must be out of your minds

I haven't had the honor of watching this masterpiece yet but does not feel it is necessary since it's so obvious from a few lines of plot introduction and the general comments. This is an intellectual THEFT. A PLAGIARISM. Not remake. A remake is something you do with consent from the original creator. I wish all criminal and civil punishments possible would be imposed upon these shameless thieves.

People sharing cultural backgrounds with the makers of this garbage, please protect your honor and self-esteem by stopping this crime from being repeated again and again! Don't waste your time in 'rating' this piece of 'art'!
