Reviews
	Great
Glamsham 5.0	"...leaves you breathless as the credits roll. A thriller to the core"
BollySpice 4.0	"...certainly worth watching for its mindblowing performances and well-executed action sequences"
	Good
Planet Bollywood 3.8	"...a rip-roaring action film which delivers more than enough bangs for your bucks for action-buffs"
RadioSargam 3.5	"...a dark film with a huge quotient of action in it. One needs a big heart to absorb the the blood soaked bodies"
Music 'N Movies 3.5	"...completely fast paced, without any speed breaker"
AllBollywood.com 3.5	"...an extremely fast-paced, well-acted, technically accomplished, gritty action-thriller which does manage to shed some new light on to a new topic"
Times Of India 3.5	"...a potboiler, with the director never really letting go his grip on the medium; except in the song-dance sequences where the wild bunch live out their fantasies with the bar girl"
IndiaGlitz 3.5	"...a gritty drama that bridges the distance between realism and the commercial aspect of film making"
Deccan Herald 3.0	"...real, hard-hitting and will catch you by surprise"
NDTV 3.0	"...a taut, well-told journey into this frightening world. Watch it"
Now Running 3.0	"...a crude, raw and violent movie"
IndiaFM 3.0	"...is sure to meet with extreme reactions. You'd either love it or detest it"
MTV India 3.0	"...Very filmy but still somehow watchable"
Movie Talkies 3.0	"...a lot of sound and fury, but no heart"
Indya.com 3.0	"...Lakhia just falls short of making a brilliant film"
BBC Shropshire 3.0	"...Lakhia recreates the 1991 real life confrontation with precision and does full justice with a classy and technically brilliant nail biting climax"
Bollywood Mantra 3.0	"...a good film that engrosses and entertains the audiences for two hours. It is a bollywood potboiler for the masses"
Movie Walah 3.0	"...Although the movie has a lot of bloodshed, violence and extermination, yet, it can be watched atleast once"
Smash Hits 3.0	"...Lakhia's winning ace for the film is his script; except for some songs thrown in between without any reason, the film moves on with a good pace"
Mid-Day 3.0	"...Awfully disturbing but recommended for every Mumbaikar"
	Average
Times Now 2.5	"...If you don�t expect a nuanced, complex film you will do just fine with this one. And the good news is that it gets over fast"
ApunKaChoice 2.5	"...not bad for watching once"
Filmfare 2.5	"...comes as a disappointment. High on promotion and less on substance"
Business Of Cinema 2.0	"...somewhere on lines of being different, has commercial elements packed to the brim and turns out to be a sober ride"
Subhash Jha 2.0	"...the more things change, the more they are the same"
Hindustan Times 2.0	"...here�s a case of wanting to have one�s cashew cake and eat it to"
Outlook India 2.0	"...glorifies violence and machismo"
BBC 2.0	"...does well to highlight suspicious police encounters, there's not much else of interest here"
Screen India 2.0	"...fails to hold the viewers� attention as it offers nothing new. It�s one of those umpteen gangster flicks of the kind you have seen in the past"
	Poor
Mumbai Mirror 1.5	"...a derivatively degenerate, run-of-the-factory cop, bhai, item-number, beer-song pic any of Ram Gopal Varma's former prot�g�s would be happy to re-film"
Cybernoon 1.5	"...there is no thrill or novelty in the true story"
Full Hyderabad 1.5	"...a colossal waste of talent, money and concept"
DNA India 1.5	"...It�s not even stylishly told, something you have come to expect from Sanjay Gupta�s banner"
Rediff 1.5	"...Apoorva, ab ek phookat mein advice sun. Don't make a movie again"
IBN Live 1.0	"...ointless, lacks focus and substance, is meandering and makes very little sense"
Jam 1.0	"...Avoid this one like the plague"
