Should You Give It A Watch?
The movie promised a lot in the build-up to it. However, it fails to deliver as a package. The lavish sets and costumes truly deserve plenty of plaudits. But, the acting and direction fail to have a grip.
The film has very few moments of excellence in its 135 minutes of running time. It builds up the lead character in the right way. However, Akshay’s range was not enough to bring the character to life.
The direction is also off the mark in most parts. It is a case of two halves. The first half promises big things ahead. However, it is as good as it gets for the rest of the film. If you are an Akshay Kumar fan, you’ll love this film. If you like the type of films of large scales, it’s worth a shot. Besides that, the film doesn’t tick a lot of other boxes.
