Twists and sub-plots pique your curiosity but as much as I had wanted the second half to live up to the thrill created in the initial half, I walked out unhappy. The post-interval bit fizzles out. It's exhausting to keep track of countless characters, names and places thrown in.
What works
* The film screams style. The shootout sequence with the song Rabta in the background has been slickly executed.
* The lead pair. Both excel in the acting department. Saif's quirky charm does wonders for the film. His cocky dialogues are to watch out for.
* The 70s music is woven neatly into the film.
What doesn't
* It's tediously lengthy, sucking life out of what could have otherwise been a good film.
* Camera work in the first half an hour is so fast it make you dizzy in the head.
* The first half heightens hopes and is gripping to the core. But it all falls flat in the second half. The pre-climax (the helicopter scene) is a bummer.
A DVD watch at best.
