Trailer was cut extremely well but movie was underwhelming in terms of expectations. Based on the same tried and tested formula of vengeance by Bollywood as well as Hollywood. However a 'WIN' for Dev Patel as his directorial debut, The lack of experience is visible(especially the odd camera angles) but some of the shots and action scenes are shot beautifully, hope he gets more movies to direct and improves. The characters could have been more interesting to watch but they were too bland to deserve any concern. The dialogues were somewhat 'cringy' and also delivered badly by cast, it would have been better if the movie was made in Hindi and later on Dubbed for international markets, because the English speaking characters really doesn't go well with the slum setups. Facing a Total Ban in India must have been a letdown for Dev Patel as it could have boosted the film's buisness too an extent seeing the familiar Bollywood content and known faces of the movie.
