    Twisted to the worse
    Same old Bollywood cinema, same old attempt to make a movie by twisting the real facts and to make a hero.

    It is not always necessary to twist the history to such a level that afterwards the story in itself becomes far from reality. This is what wrong with this movie, the have changed the facts so much, that although inspired by true events, the story of the movie is without a rhyme. There is no continuity of events.

    The only thing to my complete surprise was Lara Dutta, simply unrecognizable in her role.

    Akshay kumar, being him, play every role, make money and that's his formula. No offence but such a hard core son of soil don't carry foreign nationality.

    Vanni Kapoor Hardly in the movie and please next time when showing a working Indian Woman that too in 80's, check your wardrobe carefully, too expensive taste for a middle class family. Sorry to add but she was hardly in the movie. Hope she got paid.

    Rest of the cast, well hardly needed, stupid, highly stupid lines / catchphrases.

    Poor from the start till the end.
