Trevor Johnston Time Out Not major Ray, but effective and accessible enough to register his greatest success at the Bengali box office. Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Weaves a trite commercial film action story but is rescued from its ordinariness by the director's usual humanistic touches.
