Why it’s a Saturday Special

It was critically acclaimed, despite soft box office. A strong pick for the weekend.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and people who like their stories with a little danger. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning.
The mood: Gritty.
The pace: Grand in scale, at 2 hr 53 min.
What might put you off: It's long: 2 hr 53 min.
It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A honest but disgraced Police Inspector's attempts to clear his name pits him against terrorists and the brother of his sweetheart.
