The movie starts strong, building real hype and engaging the audience effectively. However, it eventually overwhelms viewers with forced, overly dramatic struggles for the protagonist. This could have worked if the protagonist didn't appear so unnaturally calm given his situation. His lack of visible tension makes key scenes feel odd and exposes the weakness in the writing.
The ending falls into what I call a "Strawberry Ending" -- everything turns out fine, which feels out of place for this genre and further highlights the story flaws.
That said, it's a good film overall. It's a promising attempt by Bollywood to explore new concepts and move toward better filmmaking, a welcome change from much of the trash output of recent years.
