About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a patriotic, fast-moving action thriller with big set pieces and a lone-hero mission vibe, similar to Kaththi or Ghajini; Not for you if you dislike songs, romance detours, or implausible moments.
Pros: tense action set pieces; patriotic, high-energy mood; engaging cat-and-mouse | Cons: predictable story beats; forced romance and songs; uneven pacing later
