The action itself is beautifully designed, employing playful visuals and using pretty much every camera technique available; it never feels repetitive and the pacing is close to perfection. But, and that was probably the key to me liking the film so much, there's a beating heart underneath all the action and carnage, and that has a lot to do with how brilliantly Mithun Da portrays the character and the great chemistry he has with co-star Bulla. What came as a complete surprise to me was how unabashedly romantic Gunda. The love story in this film is probably the most sincere I've ever seen in movies and it gives the film a strong emotional core which so many of these movies lack.
