Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Coffy, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 15 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Two brothers, as different as chalk and cheese, find their lives intertwined when one puts himself in danger via a `get rich quick' scheme and the other finds there is a price on his head.
