About
You may enjoy this if you like mass-appeal crime dramas about an ordinary guy pushed into leadership, with action, romance, and comedy; Not for you if you want a fresh plot or tight pacing like Sarkar.
Pros: action and comedy mix; energetic lead performance; a few twists | Cons: familiar mafia storyline; uneven pacing; too long at times
