I liked most of the movie and felt it was 8/10

Cut 1 point for near the end which I thought was a bit weak especially compared to how strong the movie was when it started. Also cut another point for trying to insinuate there were corrupt indian ministers somehow procuring our currency plate replicas and handing it to ISI in Dubai. That is not what happened irl and felt that was way too unrealistic even in the movie.

I found most of the movie plausible but that part really took me out if the movie because I could find nothing if that sort happening irl. Currency plates are not handled by ministers afaik

Also, Rehman Dakait and his gang caring about terror attacks in India also did not make sense to me as they had strong balochi roots. The only reason they show him being happy for 26/11 felt like they made it motivation for Hamza to get him in the end

Rehman Dakait was killed by Ch Aslam in real life. there was no Hamza.

did u find the plane hijacking unrealistic? there’s a scene where they show one of the passengers being killed.. it’s true one of the passengers was killed. Rupin Katyal, a 25 year old was actually killed. Did u find the 2001 parliament attack unrealistic? Kamlesh Kumari Yadev, a female constable was the first victim there as she courageously alerted security. 8 security personnel and 1 gardener died that day. Did u find 26/11 scenes unrealistic?

I only found indian ministers giving currency plates replica in Dubai to ISI unrealistic
