Mannan A A good movie with some great action, music and performances. It does suffer minutely because of an incompetent villain though. He does not feel menacing even once. The background score was fantastic!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Adarsh T Story: A soldier’s holiday turns into a full-time mission to save Mumbai from terror attacks, while only taking time out for his bride-hunt. Review: Gagged men tumble out of his closet. Tied up terrorists and ‘sleeper cells’ too. Hell’s bells, they’re far from ‘sleeping beauties’. But then they have to make our brave-heart Virat Bakshi (Akshay) look good. And he sure does. In his camouflage suits and his neon bermudas. Whether he’s on a secret mission (as Defence Intelligence Agent), or romancing his boisterous ‘boxer’ belle Saiba (Sonakshi). All the while coaching his cop buddy on how to ‘crack a case’, or saluting his boss sergeant (Govinda, in a cutesy cameo). Virat’s on holiday in Mumbai – ‘ladki dekhne’ - where a terror blast kills school kids in a bus. A suspect is caught and it leads to series of more suspects who’re part of a devious demolition plan by - Sleeper Cells (trained terrorists guised as common men in society). His holiday turns into havoc and Virat becomes a one-man army – who has to raze the terror outfit and salvage Mumbai from exploding into flames. Nothing can break this lion-hearted soldier who upholds his valour, wardi and values – like a true jawan. Murgadoss’ film (remake of the Tamil ‘Thupakki’) offers an intelligent plot, with blows, blasts and raw bone-cracking action (Greg Powell- of 'Skyfall' fame). It triggers a fear that anyone from your paanwala to pizza-delivery boy could be a ‘closet’ terrorist (Beware!). While the core plot is compelling and finely directed, the side-tracks - like bombs needing to be deactivated and the romantic angle, waste screen-time and the songs infiltrate the plot too often. The film is too long and needs a taut edit. It has flaws too, but doesn’t fail to entertain. Akshay’s stunts are jaw-dropping; he’s in top form and impressively leads the show without much support from his squadron of actors. Farhad (the lead villain) doesn’t leave much impact; and Sonakshi slides in for the song and dance. This one applauds the jawans who live in the jaws of death, and is a ‘wake up’ call for all the ‘sleepers’ that abound. Bravo!

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/27/16 Full Review Audience Member An outstanding movie. Touch of Kollywood in it from A.R. Murugadoss; positively lacks the dilution of the movie by the "masala" filled in the Bollywood movies of today. Great acting by Akshay Kumar. Very good story and well developed plot. Bollywood today needs more movies like this one.
