India's take on epic gangster tale is very pretentious. But the good part is it is shameless in that pretentiousness and does not hesitate to come out all guns blazing with whatever little it has in its arsenal. The end result is a quick-witted, lethal, entertaining crime drama that has a lot of flaws but at the same time makes it worth your time to watch through the end.
Highs: Story has a lot of muscle and robustness in its core. It's repetitive but not boring and the Bollywood factor adds a sweet spot in terms of amusement. Has some genuine and original humor and attraction to it as well.
Lows: Build up and relevancy is so poor that it makes you cringe. Characters are not well written and the ending is delusional at best.
Rating: 3.5 ***/*
