The basic plot of the movie is quite chilling. An NRI comes home after long and finds that his family has been kidnapped by a fundamentalist group. The group forces him to plat a bomb in a crowded Mumbai bus. Sounds perfectly plausible, but the movie takes lots of twists and turns before the protagonist and the viewer realize what the whole thing is about, which actually makes the whole thing boring. Moreover towards the end the twists and turns seem so unnecessary if the idea was to just force a person to plant a bomb.

But the presentation of the movie is really refreshing, even if the plot has been lifted, vivid presentation of the Mumbai streets and the protagonists dilemmas deserves praise. Would say not worth the theatre visit, a one time viewing at home is fine.

Ending is predictable, hero sacrifices himself but saves the whole crowd by bombing himself up in a lonely place.
