![]() Everyone would know what the plot of the movie was going to be, the reason for watching it would be execution and humor. ![]() ![]() Not many movies deserve to be rated so low.this isn't just me overreacting but simply what a terrible waste of time this movie really is. **Generic spoilers on theme of the film** I've given this movie a rating 1 out of 10. In addition, to see him command the screen in a solo turn is a delight : he is our first true subaltern 'hero' who has moved from the fringes to claim the centre. It's also nice to see him in a light-hearted role : except perhaps for his blundering TV reporter in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, who is a hoot, he has been condemned to dark, twisted turns in dark, twisted flicks.
