Usually I don't care for films from India, so when I say this one is "nearly perfect" that is very unusual.
The acting, photography, music, and script are wonderful. Cannot be better. Where the film falls down is the editing. It's too long. Cutting a few minutes would be better. The action scenes, while very well done, could be shorter - we get it. He's pretty damn good. John Wick without the guns.
The other fault in the editing is the use of flashbacks. In the beginning some critical ones are much too short to communicate anything. 10 more seconds would make a huge difference. Near the end, when they go back to the actions that helped set Monkey Man on his quest, the flashbacks are much too long. Maybe the editor/director is trying to make up for the shortened versions early on.
Less would be more, and more would be more.
