Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for people who like their stories at full throttle and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Popcorn viewing in the best sense.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Big, sprawling and full of spectacle, at 2 hr 41 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 41 min.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Ravishankar, a street urchin, is looked after by Salim, a local don. After Salim's demise, Ravishankar rises to power and fights against an evil gangster.
