Prakash Jha has always proved to be a competent storyteller, and here also, he narrates a tale that is engaging and in a couple of scenes, powerful. Though the film doesn't break new grounds when it comes to its plot, its Jha's handling of the situation that makes the narrative interesting. Priyanka Chopra is great as the honest and committed cop, hell bent on fighting the villains tooth by nail. However, its Prakash Jha who makes the best impact with a strong role. Even the villains, Manav Kaul, Ninad Kamat and Murli Sharma are terrific in their respective roles. Even though there are a few songs in the first half itself, they play in the background and help in making the scenes interesting. The film reaches the interval when Jha's character switches sides morally. Let's see how the second half fares.
