This movie was amazing. It really was. As it happened I had no idea what movie I was sitting in the theatre for and the whole idea was that if I liked the beginning of the movie I would stay to watch it or get up and leave. Well, that was the plan but after the first 40 minutes of the movie, I stopped looking at the watch because I was here to stay and that is saying something about the story. This movie suffers from bad camera lighting, there are scenes in this movie in which I couldn't see the actors. What especially comes to mind is the scene where the actor playing Bhavesh Joshi is backlit to the extent that you can't see his face which is unfortunate because his face at that point in the movie was supposed to deliver a statement that the movie completely missed. So, yeah there were times when I was happy with the cinematography of the movie and at times it really felt like the movie had been shot using a hand-held camera but don't let anyone tell you that the story wasn't good because the story was the reason I stayed. This story is very different than the usual fare and seriously, hats off to the writers. This story follows Bhavesh Joshi as he tries to do right but he ends up losing in his battle. Bhavesh tries to fight honestly without resorting to any kind of wrong-doing but when he fails and is killed for it, his friend, Sikander aka Sikku avenges him. Now, Sikander is full-on vigilante justice and it was amazing to see the movie tackle both aspects of how vigilantes are viewed look at it from one angle and they are nothing but terrorists, try the other one and they are superheroes, but even knowing all this, seeing it realised on screen was beyond fascinating. I loved the plot of the story, it was simple to follow but ingenious in its own right and I loved the fact that there were no easy answers the movie doesn't deliver a happy ending, what it delivers is a message that can change your life, as it changed mine.
