User Reviews

Too much of romantic flashback impoverished the social subject.

Average movie with Sunny effect.

Story-Commercial social drama.

Dialogues-do not fit for Sunny Deol (expected better for him).

Casting-Good but failed to utilize properly.

Direction-Average

Music-Good

Acting-Individual actors have acted well but Johnny Lever pulling extra lever (as usual) makes movie very loud so much so that movie needs his editing .

Comedy-leave johnny but Sanjay Mishra and other actors are better than lever.

Cinematography-Good

editing-could have been better

The story is simple.The movie deviates from the subject most of the time and emphasizes more on romance,flashback,forced comedy & emotion and nonsense trap.Action sequences are Sunny specific(dhai kilo ke hath me abhi bhi bahut jaan hai).Press reporting by Amrita Rao is too unprofessional.Antagonist is good but only to match Sunny Deol we miss Amrish Puri.The eastern Uttar Pradesh accent seems to be superimposed on various actors.

Overall good movie can be watched once.
