Highly enjoyable and at times thrilling movie.
Smartly shot, with high production values. But there's nothing glossy about the story, with neat touches like stray dogs littering the streets.
The musical opening credits is fine and the first song is pleasing to the ears, though wasted on a tacky unimaginative picturization, but it's a fitting intro for John Abraham's character, conveying the initial shallowness of the character.
Fast-moving script with very sharp dialogue helped by strong direction as can be expected from the highly respected Sippy family.
The characters are well-defined to create brilliant interplay. Nana Pathekar is very compelling, and Abraham is perfectly suited to invoking a level of sympathy for such an arrogant character. The under-rated Sonali Kulkarni takes reign of her character in the second half, owning her scenes even against a veteran like Pathekar.
The unpredictable twists let the lives of the characters play out, and the story marvellously draws out the clash between the main characters, blurring the lines between a buddy movie and a duel.
The music is very upbeat, perfectly pitched in keeping things light and enjoyable as the story moves along.
The ending is smart, poignant and very funny. From start to finish the movie is thoroughly entertaining with a story that will grow on the viewer long after viewing it.
