Based on true story, but the artistic liberty taken spoiled it. If only it was so easy to solve an hostage situation. If the first half unnecessary romance and back story was less maker might have got more time to focus more on the actual plot and storyline. Ending was very week and unimpressive. Akshay was ok, and Lara was good, others did not have much to do. Story though keeps you engaged in the second half but the ending completely let down, leaving you wondering what would have actually happened in 1984.
