A mentally unstable woman who is alone in the apartment stumbles accidentally upon the terrorist who wants to negotiate with the government. All character have grey past. The story is intriguing no. Well, the script , the dialogues and the acting is a big let down.
When Aparshakti, madhavan are limited to cringy and clumsy dialogues you sometime feel like "what a waste of pool of talents " . The script has so many plotholes that you keep on wondering "why the hell is this happening ?" In this movie.
Climax is so hurriedly created that you won't believe that what the creators are trying to show you.
What a waste of my weekend.

What a waste of my weekend.
Don't watch completely waste of time. 0 acting skills , 0 story line, 0 for setup. Madhwan was overacting. This could be a descent movie but no . Police was just wasting time whe time. You can notice guns were fake like Ak47. The kidnaper was on window most of the time , they could have shot him but no they were just sitting with their fake guns. Big disappointment by the movie. Trailer of the movie was looking promising but if you see the movie that is totally disaster. I'm giving 2 star for just last 10 minutes otherwise whole movie is not at all worth. Give me a like if you agree with me. Thank you.
The film did have potential, the script had not one but numerous opportunities to encash the positives, but it couldn't, or should I rather say it did not want to. The anecdote in itself was not half bad, as can be noticed in the last act, where the film seeks redemption but alas! It was already too late.
It would have easily been a decent, serviceable movie, but what made it poorer was its inferior screenplay and an even weaker direction. As well as the lousy, over-the-top performances. I never would have imagined that I will have to see a talented man like R. Madhavan delivering one of if not the worst acts to date.
Quite similar remarks apply to both Aparshakti Khurana and Darshan Kumar as well. I refrain from criticizing Khushali though because it is her debut role and I strongly believe in giving chances, thus, we will have to wait and see her in at least one more work to come to any sort of judgment (in respect of her capacity as an actor).
But the names that I mentioned before are in the industry for years, thus their performances should be criticized accordingly.

I am very surprised to see so much positive reviews and high rating for such a useless and waste movie on the name of a crime-thriller. There is no suspense or thrill in the movie. From the beginning of the movie there are two versions of the story being depicted and in the climax one version shown to be true. Difficult to believe that such a fine actor like R. Madavan choose this kind of movie.
Story and screenplay is very weak. The only takeaways are Madhavan's performance and the beauty of the actress but still these things were not able to lift the movie. I suggest others not to waste their time on this pathetic movie.

I fail to understand why there is so much high ratings for a movie like this. I understand now that.when producer can spend 20 cr on this lousy movie they can always spend few lacs for farzi reviews and ratings. Generally in a thriller movie like this we expect lot of tense moments. There is. No thrill or tension. There is no chemistry between lead characters. Story is very week and not suitable for a suspense or thriller movie. You keep om watching the movie because you feel that it is a suspense thriller movie so you keep on waiting for the end to come. When the end comes you feel cheated. If you are fan of suspense thrillers than you must have watched better movies. Just to show a twist in the tale you can not make write childish and unbelievable stories.
Did you know
- TriviaKhushali Kumar was supposed to make her debut with Madhavan in a movie called Dahi Cheeni. The comedy which was to be produced by Khushali Kumar's brother, Bhushan Kumar, was shelved when Bhushan did not think the movie an appropriate debut for his sister. Therefore the same cast was reused and along with a new director, the film Dhoka was conceived.
