Quick MOVIE REVIEW: The makers have missed an opportunity to deliver an impactful film. It has a body, but no soul. The film lacks effective dialogues and tight editing. Also, the dragged screenplay makes it an unimpressive watch.
Sanjay Dutt delivers average performance. Nargis Fakhri has no significant role in the film and she hardly leaves an impact in her short role. Rahul Dev effortlessly played the antagonist Qazar.
Child actors Aishan Jawaid Malik, Hamid Shafi, Mohammed Khairkhah, Rudra Soni are good in their parts and gave watchable performances.
