Plus Points
1) Acting
For the first time Ayushmaan Khuranna has attempted action film and is quite good. His acting is superb in light scenes especially with the underworld don.
Jaideep Ahlawat is decent. Underworld Don character is hilarious. Film has three surprises like,
Akshay Kumar is very good in the cameo role.
Sexy dance number of Malaika Arora and Nora Fatehi in the dance number which appears after the film is over. In fact this song is pretty ordinary and was not required .Simply a waste of money.
2) Direction
Photography, actions and locations .
Director Anirudh Iyer has succeeded in making a good action thriller film . Photography is beautiful and captured the London exotic locations beautifully.Though film has many too long action and chasing sequences, they beautiful executed. Film has many light moments which will keep the audience engrossed throughout the drama.
3)Editing
Film is fast pace.
Minus Points
1)Story Screenplay & Dialogues
Very thin story line and doesn't have many twists and turns into the drama. Screenplay is illogical and has many drawbacks. like London police, Indian embassy and Indian police are shown helpless and are not able to do anything worthwhile.
They are shown silent spectators. Film depicted Indian TV news v channels in a very poor light, especially Arnab Goswami character. Though it's hilarious, made fun of him.
2) Music
No hit song. old song. aap jaisa koi.. has been beautifully picturised on Malaika Arora and Aayushmaan Khuranna .
Box Office Verdict
Film is hardly promoted by the makers and the reason best known to them. Ayushmaan Khuranna's fans and action loving audience would love this film. But from a box office point of view. It will struggle right from the first day show.
Ayushmaan Khuranna's career is going bad after Lockdown. His film Gulabo Sitabo was the first film released after Lockdown and
this film proved to be a flop. After that he had three more films (Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Anek and Doctor G) which also flopped at the box office.
Because of the constant carrier down, Aayushmaan was forced to reduce his fees too.
