=**The Plot:

I do not want reveal more than this. Watch it and find out unexpected twists and turns!Ratings: (3-Star)
Screenplays:
There is no taam-zam, naach-gana, pyaar-mohabbat, rona-dhona, no bollywood usual masala. It’s intelligent and effective drama which ties you at your seat. It unfolds so rapidly that you do not get a chance to think about anything. You will remain un-blinked throughout the movie to watch what happens next. It is no non-sense movie. Each scene adds value to fast moving story line. Saga gets unfolded just in 100 minutes. You even feel who needs intermission :-) Let the movie keep rolling.
Ratings: (4-Star)
Casting:
No doubt! This is powerhouse performance by great actors Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher. They slipped into the characters naturally. It is like watching Jugalbandi between two veterans and you can’t decide who is better than whom. Deepal Shaw as a reporter did not have much to do. Aamir Bashir as a family person yet dedicated cop is honest in acting. Jimmy Shergill is fantastic. We knew he is good actor but could not believe that he can act as a rough and tough guy with his chocolate looks. Bollywood directors give him a chance and he will surely shine.
Ratings:(4 Star)
Music:
This songless movie has effective background music. Nothing much to mention.

Other:
Cameraman’s lens captured the high rises of Mumbai. But then the more emphasis of the movie is on dialogues and screenplays. Dialogues in last unpredictable climax scene questions your own existence in this unsafe India. You feel helpless as well as powerful at the same time. Watch it and just think.
Hats off to debutant director Neeraj Pandey who could dare to make such a low budget effective movie.
Ratings: (3 Star)
Suv’s verdict:
I may call it as a sequel of ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ but with intelligent stroke. It is thought provoking thrilling drama. This movie is for those who yearn to watch some serious drama and performance. Bollywood is getting matured and glad to see that few production houses are betting on such a ‘jara hatke subject’. It’s worth watching if you are looking for quality cinema.
Overall Ratings:1/2 (3 and half Star)
