It's a beautifully made movie. A simple personal retribution themed story takes you through the brute realities of the time and shows raw situations and emotions as is without any additional masala of nationalistic fervor. It shows the patriotism of some of the characters but doesn't hesitate in showing the selfishness of most of the others.
The cinematography, BGM, costumes, sets are all of high quality and reflects the high production values of the team.
Performances of all actors are excellent too. Though Saif has acted well in the movie, I feel someone with a more agile and fit musculature rather than Saif's bulky muscles would have been a better fit for the character.
