An intense and powerful revenge thriller steeped in Indian folklore and culture. The story has simple motivations and relatively standard characters but it was interesting to see the modern day political issues as well as the great disparity between the rich and the poor. Superb performance from Patel and directorially with iconic scenes and even a few lighter-hearted moments amongst the blood, pain and suffering. Although there's a lot of fast, brutal and very violent action scenes, none are without cause but with the volume of people, colours and close camera work, it invoked a strong sense of claustrophobia as well as not being able to see what was going on at times.
