    Good movie, well acted. Like an Indian version of Kill Bill, a revenge movie with plot twists and suspense.

    Good movie only if you are familiar with Shah Ruth Khan and Indian cinema. the songs are just ok. Good story. Good for what-it is-I wouldn't call this a mystery or thriller as they described. It's more like action and drama.

    Yes   |   No

    One of the absolute best films I have ever seen. The performances were superb on all counts, the soundtrack is flawless, the plot is intriguing and intricate, the characters believable and three-dimensional. One thousand stars out of five.
