Verdict: The major plus point of the movie is the interval sequence that actually gives the scope for the thrilling content in the second half of the movie. The climax of the film was designed well and the chasing sequences are shot well. The film has got a good story but the way it is narrated could have been better. At times, the audiences feel that the story takes a side track.
