This 90-minute-long film could easily have been a web series. It has 8 or 9 important characters who required more time to develop.

The film in itself is not disappointing but has a solid story, amazing cinematography and brilliant acting by Bobby Deol, Anup Soni and Biswajeet Pradhan. This could have well been much better with more screentime, some subtle twists in messaging and more contemporary (80s) music.

The theme of the film is inspired by Dropkick Murphy's Shipping Up to Boston (The Departed's song). But at other times, it fails to impress. The events are rushed and even this could have worked had music been any better. The details to period are just fabulous. Bobby kills it with his intense, brood some looks. Anup Soni never goes overboard. The film celebrates vigilante justice with pure glee. The politics of it can be discussed, but its charm cannot be wished away.
