About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud, swagger-filled crime rise story with big action moments and crowd-pleasing highs, similar in spirit to Rangasthalam or RRR; Not for you if you dislike long runtimes or slower stretches.

Pros: high-energy first half; standout acting; catchy songs | Cons: second half slows; feels a bit long; some scenes unnecessary
