About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic Bollywood revenge-and-gangster ride with big star energy, punchy dialogue, and standout songs; Not for you if you dislike predictable plots or lengthy melodrama like in Shaan.
Pros: charismatic lead presence; catchy, memorable songs; fun romantic moments | Cons: clichéd gangster storyline; overlong melodrama; uneven, mindless action
