A film with no notable mistakes. But it's dull. There is something wrong with the treatment. The film had a badass conspiracy theorist who took on the system as the protagonist. But his life gets a very humdrum treatment. I know only what I read in wikipedia about the man. Maybe this is the right treatment and I might have watched too many Oliver Stone directed biopics. Maybe THIS is what the life of a man who grew up in a slum/chawl with four others and then lived in a dinghy apartment with a frustrated wife and fought court cases for hapless Muslims in ugly court rooms looks like. Anyway, I do not have much hope for India as a country based on what I saw in this film. I also do not understand all the hype around Rajkumar Rao He is the very opposite of charismatic. I don't get his appeal. Prabhleen Sandhu was pretty cute.
