Strengths

This is a very unique movie that introduces the plot to the audience with the backstory of the main protagonist as well as the antagonist. It is a very different and unique movie as most of the movies introduce the protagonist’s backstory first, but this film introduces the antagonist’s backstory first, that has sets it apart from other films. Also, the action sequences are quite nice, wherein we get to see the character of Sunny Deol in a brutal fight with the character of Vineet Kumar Singh, who was highly recognised for his role in Chhaava. Also, Randeep Hooda surprised the audience with his fearless on-screen appearance as a villain, which made the plot very interesting. This is yet another collaboration of the Bollywood actors with the south indian actors. As compared to Sunny Deol’s old films such as Ghayal, Ghatak, Damini and Border, this film is on another level.

Weakness

Although the movie was quite good but it had some flaws, as the same incident was being carried forward till the second half, which seemed quite annoying, and it was like every other typical south indian movie that didn’t serve anything unique to the audiences.
