    India's own John Wick
    Oh man..... this one was splendid. Speechless, edge of the seat. As i am watching this late, i was waiting for the hero's entry and boy, did the movie deliver it! Throughout the movie you want the hero to win, the director has somehow found a way to make us feel that way. My heart was pounding throughout the duration of the movie. It is definitely going to glue your eye to the screen. The direction and screenplay is out of the world. He has even managed to capture the father daughter sentiments in this all round action movie. The cast is wonderful. Everybody did justice to their role. The story is fantastic. Its like desi version of John Wick. I would definitely love to see a sequel. Overall its an outstanding movie.
