Decent movie, a fresh attempt, good to see a non remake movie in our industry. There's no dearth of talent here, yet the industry chooses simple way of remaking. Slow paced, could easily be a 90-100 mins movie but the end product is way too long; tests your patience. Acting, bgm, cinematography is great, but screenplay could have been trimmed, heavily. Climax is surprising and watch it for that. My biggest problem is the usage of Tamil! Other language words/dialogues in Kannada movies has been the practice of the industry for more than 2 decades now. We don't see our Kannada being used in other languages as much as we do. Sad, seems like they're only November 1 Kannadigas, neither have self respect, nor love towards the language.

Average, not up to the mark, only few one liners make you laugh. Idk what's wrong with Puneeth as he keeps choosing bad scripts, Law was a disaster, and this, only a tad better than that. He has to be wise in selecting better story and ensure proper execution too. Ludicrous humour throughout, I was irritated by a few. In one scene we see people paying salutations to a Cow which is eating bananas from a street side vendor and swallows phone in the process! This is ridiculous to say the least, people would never do that when a Cow is eating from a hawker, and they'd start shooing it as he'd be affected. Idk what the director had in his mind while filming this. In another, the director, in an attempt to show the Police's "lazy, irresponsible" behaviour, a Constable cuffs the Cow! 1. It's stupid to the core. 2. The Cow would already be tied! Not a must watch, seriously, you'd be wasting your time. Usage of Tamil, when we don't find any Kannada dialogues being spoken, why's that our makers include Tamil words? You'd find 1or 2 Kannada words in 1 or 2 Tamilmovies, but we have lots of Tamil wordings in many of our movies. Our industry should respect our language first!

As a Kannadiga I was excited to watch a Kannada movie in OTT, because, let's face it, we get ignored by these platforms. I was a tad more interested when I got to know about the producer, Puneeth Rajkumar, the expectations built up. But, as the informal, yet true saying goes, 'Expectation is Injurious to Health', the movie was disappointing. Despite its run time of 120 mins, it was slow and dragging as the Screenplay is poorly written, and the Editing seems as if it's done in a haphazard manner. Director's a good actor and his debut as a technician is mediocre, he's surely talented and I feel he'll be a good director in the coming days. Acting is decent by most of 'em but the comedy is forced, it's evident right from the beginning. Though the twists are predictable, the plot in general is good but these other factors arrests the flow causing this review from a Kannadiga. This movie can be watched if there's no other work to do, if you want to kill time, and if you feel like encouraging new talents with potential.

Expected this movie would be good but it's mediocre. Very few action sequences are good but the rest of the film, no story, plot holes, boring, etc, they could have done so much better. As they say, Expectation is injurious to health! Pankaj Tripathi is there for one scene and I've been told he's a good actor, guess they just hired him for guidelines issued in countries where you've to cast local actors in the nation you shoot. Won't get into the story but I'd say, if you're a fan of Chris, watch. If you're free and nothing to watch, then switch to this. I'm surprised by many people here giving such appreciation, sure, they're entitled to their opinions, but I think this movie is highly overrated.

The series is good, albeit a tad slow. In the 1st season, there is mention of Kiki & you know the fate of the DEA agent in this season, "Not a happy ending", as told in the first episode in the new season. The visuals of Mexico, the level of corruption, the 1980s looks, and the performances of the actors, are stunning. Michael Peña is good but it's Diego Luna's show, he sweeps with his calm & poised acting, very less sequences where you'd hear him scream. There will be a 5th season, if I'm not wrong. It's a good revelation of the real incidents, watch it. P.S: Good to see Poison, Blackie, and their 'Emotional' boss, Pablo Escobar 😁

Go for it. Show ho tho, "Isa" hona chahiye! (Pardon my Hindi, I'm a Kannadiga)When you have got a crime story with beautiful screenplay, direction, and brilliant actors; you know the show is gonna be successful. Netflix has done a great job and I hope this gets renewed for a second season. Radhika Apte is such a great actress, she was the highlight in Lust Stories(for me) cos of her natural acting, while narrating to the camera, she picks her ear, looks other ways, etc - that tells you how wonderful she is. Nawazuddin, what can I tell about him? India knows about this man who, also is known for natural performances. Saif has done a good job, he excels in this. Other actors are excellent, not a single actor's performance can be viewed or told as Average! Everyone are so good and that seldom happens. Story Writers and Directors have done a fab job, other Soaps, regardless of the language; should be like this - No deafening music, no Zooming of every frigging character, dragging the story, etc.

The story which took the US by surprise and sent a shock wave to other countries which ultimately led to, some sanctions on us. The movie is to be watched by everyone as it shows the country's struggle and desperation to become a Nuclear State, which is narrated beautifully. The actual footage of countries used, the 90's setup, Ambassador and Esteem cars, old mobile phones, the efforts put in to not show John Abhram's body by making him wear loose outfits, etc are subtle to some but it is an added treat to watch. Go for it, movies like these need to be encouraged and it is a part of our history, let us be aware. Bang for the buck.
