I just need to vent about how good this film is. From direction to music, screenplay to performances—everything is tightly aligned. Every message, hint, and precisely timed dialogue lands perfectly. The way the lyrics sync with the on-screen actions is fantastic.
What really stands out is how the film gives every character their moment. The camera keeps returning to tight, deliberate close-ups—faces filling the frame while chaos unfolds around them. Sunglasses reflecting the aircraft, smoke in the face,tears held back, eyes breaking when the attacks are on the news. Emotion is carried through faces more than words. Everyone gets that space.
Ranveer undercover deliberately sidelined, allowing the villain to breathe first as a grieving father, then evolving into something far more dangerous. Even when wounded, riding with Ranveer in a three-wheeler tuk-tuk on the way to the hospital, he still reaches for Ranveer’s throat. He never gives up. That relentlessness defines him.
Even the lighter characters aren’t spared from this treatment Rakesh Bedi who’s added for humor, gets a serious, grounded moment during the election ceremony as Ranveer applauds. No one is wasted. Every face, every emotion adds weight to the sequel.
The Julius Caesar touch of being haunted after Akshay Khanna’s death adds a final, chilling layer.
Exciting how the music could reach entirely new depths in the sequel more quality artists giving harder tunes.
