Director Mr. Prakash Jha had done better acting than direction. There is nothing in the name of story rather than compilation of some deliberate incidents. Screenplay is jerky and very convenient. Film starts with land acquisition issue then shifts focus towards an incident which was not new but writers pops up that one, as something unusual abruptly. Use of I phone, digital password protected safe reflect that movie belongs to 2016 but not a single person or Police bother to think about use of mobile surveillance for location tracking of needed person rather they follow the routine check ups. In a scene, precisely a shot A.S.P , B.N. Singh is sleeping with his wife but then she is nowhere even when he was in hospital after he got brutal beating!? Then what was the need to show his wife in a shot? Election announcement angle was just to bind villains that they can't transfer the S.P but there was not any meaning full build up or campaign progress in rest of the film. A person kidnaps a girl to take her sign on paper, which he needs badly but then prefers to rape and murder her without taking the sign or holding her for few more days? He was so insane that he himself put his major chunk of wealth at risk by killing her? This movie has to be connected with prior one so they come out with murder of goons showing as suicide as it was acid attack in first part but first part it was by frustrated Police personal and with impressive build up but this time by public and forcefully. A small boy can lynch a heavy built person by pulling him with belt around his neck, it clearly looks that he would be unable to pull his dead body even but somehow he manages to kill him !!? Public is so angry and rebellious at that point and even they do same with another corrupt politician but they remain numb when heart changed A.S.P was being beaten brutally in front of them, even they prefer to not give statement as evidence and suddenly they turn out in huge number in climax!? Dialogues are OK but too cheesy, it was fine that constable level of Police personnel use to address their senior female office as madam sir but here A.S.P and rest of high rank officers do the same. Was all illiterate? Movie is set in M.P as it was shown written out side S.P office and auto rickshaw number with M.P then why they prefer to choose the name of two prominent places of Bihar, one Bankipur, one of major Police station of capital of Bihar , Patna and another district Lakhisaray? I was unable to understand the need, if you know geography of Bihar then you will get confused badly. Every time when any action is going on they plays irritating background songs which dull the impact badly. Emotional quotient and high octave scenes are missing. Performance wise Priyanka Chopda is very good. Praksh Jha as A.S.P , B.N. Singh is impressive but somehow his character was long and with unnecessary action like parallel lead. Manav Kaul as Babloo Pandey is first rate. His expressions are very subtle and balanced. Shakti Sinha as Prabhu Narayan ,Ninad Kamat as Dabloo Pandey and Murli Sharma as Munna Mardani , Rahul Bhatt as local leader Madhav, are OK.
