Opportunity missed.. could have been better!!
26 January 2019 | by sanjubhat – See all my reviews

Had high expectations from this film considering the charismatic persona of the protagonist . The narrative unfortunately is not gripping enough to hold the audience in rapt attention .

The film has its moments but seems disjointed, with punch lines that are laboriously inserted without having any impact on the narrative.

Navaz fits the bill perfectly and gets into the character with ease . But as they say no one can rise above the script . Could have been better .

5 out of 10 stars from me for this biographical docudrama.
