Go For It !!

Don't listen people go for it you wont be disappointed. I did and I founded every character really talented and full of skills. Priyanka was really natural without make-up simple role as a Teacher. Bobby really did what no hero could he is the best. The Vijyata Company its from Deol's and its great Sunny Deol did a great job on this movie you will simply love it. Priyanka is Backk she was in Big Brother and now in Chamku. I just Wish Deol's will be rewarded for this wonderful movie. Its One of the best from this year packed action , emotions , and drama. So Two Thumbs Up!! For the Deol Family. The music was good but could been better so 2.5 on 5 for the music
