Ratings and reviews

Zaidi is known for factual writing not elaborate unbelievable pieces of fiction. It will be a good script of Bollywood masala movie but otherwise its crap. It's shallow mediocre work by Zaidi..

The plot makes for a blywud movie or Jms Bnd movie in 70s 80s. Theres understable weakness as its far from reality and even if they are there - they must remain undercover only rather than becoming a popular blockbuster with all details on public! Overrall not bad but the pakistani intelligence network had been overly underrated here! They might lough at this!

A brilliant work . If it could turn into reality our wounds would heal and the unfortunate souls who died could finally rest in peace.
