Worth to Watch

I went to Watch the movie today. I use to hate Emraan Hashmi a lot because of his unprofessional attitude towards acting but after watching this movie I have changed my mind. The movie is excellent and Emraan Hashmi did very well. He acted maturely and professionally. He did the getup well according to character and also acted well according to it. Within this week I watched 3 movies in cinema and this was the best. The title song was very well fitted. Everyone did fantastic in movie specially Emraan Hashmi.

Over all the movie is great and I love that Indian movie is shown in Pakistan. Please do watch this movie.
