1. It was difficult to relate to any of the characters as they were not developed. The to and fro jumps on timelines through flashback were not tightly edited so were not as impactful. Why a character did what he did was only know to him. Viewers were just observers.
2. Wafer thin script. The story was unique and had a lot of potential but in the end fell flat. Imagine rescuing the girl from an empty village with little bloodshed with a predictable and dumb twist thrown in.
3. Empty plot points. Why did he start drinking so much? Slapping the minister was his choice. And his wife left him just for a day of heavy drinking and was so depressed that she killed their kid while backing up. What happened to good old child lock? Similarly, who was the 'dawat' lady, was the freelancer a freelancer before he met Dr. Khan, if he was then why did he go to college, if not then why was he taking bounties to kill people, why didn't anybody help when an Indian went missing abroad, why is the main character close to his partners daughter while not carrying about his own son, etc.
4. No show and too much tell. You come to know about the characters from what others say about them. No credible actions were seen on screen. Only a few long tracking shots to deliver a package or something insignificant. Only cheap suspense tropes like a blind person turning to look at insugents, etc.
In the end you will feel cheated as nothing really happens in the 8 hours of screen time. The characters felt fake, the story felt fake, and when a conundrum arised it was solved by some contact he had. Average acting all across the board with the exception of Veer Aryan who plays the passport maker quite convincingly.
Neeraj Pandey generally does a good job (like special ops 1, 1.5) but in this one it felt like he did not have his skin in the game. Below average watch best to skip, there are better things to watch elsewhere.
