Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and martial arts fans. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Same wavelength as Batman Begins. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 1 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Mahesh, a studio photographer and owner of the studio. As the story moves on, Mahesh encounters an anonymous fight ending up with taking revenge that leads to certain realizations in his life.
