I am a big fan of Aamir Khan and his detail oriented approach towards every project he undertakes. It's with this expectation I went to see the movie. For the most part it matched my expectations. However, there were a couple of aspects in the movie which disappointed me. This is a revenge motivated movie, so action plays a very important role. Here's where the quality drops. The main villain was wrong for the part, he's been playing henchman for so long, you just can't upgrade him to the main villain's role in such a big budget movie. Second, he is such a big don in the crime world but not one of his men carries a gun. Do you buy this?; especially in the day and age where every foot soldier in a crime syndicate carries an automatic/AK47, just to gain respect. All these guys have, are broken metal pipes. Come to think if there was a gang war these guys wouldn't last a day. Aamir Khan's 8 pack abs was impressive but his fighting style and ability left much to be desired. His fighting style reminded you of "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander". One would expect with age and experience this perfectionist would have perfected the art of hand to hand combat. The plot, acting is still quite good but as far as action goes, the word "limited" comes to mind.
