    It has a pretty convenient revenge plot thread, but Nahas Hidayath scores pretty well with his execution, amping up the narrative with some intensely choreographed kickass action set pieces backed by friends n family charged emotions. Another major high is the pulsating BGM score from Sam CS. Antony drops his thunderous punches while Shane lands his high flying kicks, but the man who added the most excitement was hands down our nunchaku master Neeraj. If they are RDX, then he is the blast. Beyond the dips n drags, it ends up a fun action entertainer.

    A masala action comedy with a no brainer logic-less storyline, yet entertains with its hilarious comedy, over the top actions n peppy songs. The interval block twist hits high note with a bang. The scenes between Ravi Teja n Brahmi provide unlimited laughs. Despite of the cliches n flaws, it ends up a fun watch.

If at all anything positive, I liked the initial old school portions between Stallone-Statham and the solid action sequence between Statham-Tony Jaa. But that’s about it. Rest everything is very much expendable indeed.

    A MUST WATCH slice of life emotional thriller-drama. It is intense, powerful, thought provoking, disturbing, poignant yet hopeful.

    The sensitive child abuse and post trauma content are handled subtly with utmost care. Even though the violence is implied, it leaves you with a jolting impact. The movie never gets preachy nor on the face at any given time, yet effectively passes on the intended message with nuanced detailing and clear perspective viewpoints.

    Every character gets brilliantly written with strong agency,…
