Ratings and reviews

A movie which can not be forgotten for its war photography.Definitely great attempt to showcase modern guerilla war scenarios which we rarely see in Bollywood. Ultimate photography work..kudos to all music composer too.Songs are not typical Bollywood style and few tracks are my favourite ; keep listening to any of my long distance drive. Certain melancholyness is impeccably miffed. Shoojit's attempt is glorious... Never the less John...no other actor can able to match up to the perfection of the character

Its totally out of the types which we usually habituate in Bollywood. No song, no hero, no villen, no intervals - just the story of all the humans connected in a series of incident. Based upon the true incident of assassination of Rajib Gandhi, this movie will not let you leave the seat until the movie ends.

It's just serious kind of fake events based story movie . made to satisfy some level of Indian n srilanka politics. True events are hided and drowned. There r 1000 secrets in murder of Indian politician. This movie did not reveal even a single secret in it. This is just a cinema movie not with true events of civil war
