Hand to heart, this gave me almost orgasmic pleasure. Yes, it is that good.

The IMDb summary is, thankfully, incomplete and doesn't give much away.

This is a directorial triumph, with the editing and writing coming a close second and third. The screenplay is worth salivating over.

One low point for me were some of the action scenes that were sometimes over- the -top.

The pace is relentless and to maintain it from beginning to the end, for a runtime of 121 minutes, is quite an accomplishment.

The acting is all right, but to be honest it wouldn't have mattered too much with this direction.

Rightfully rated amongst the top Indian movies of all time.

My favourite film of the first 4.5 months of 2021.

Streaming on _Hotstar_. It is being remade in Hindi, with Ajay Devgan.
