Damn! Why didn’t we think of sending the amazing super-hero Emran Hashmi to Australia before? Emran Saab’s solution to global malevolence as provided in this disappointing mismash of masala and headlines is simple enough.
It’s good to be bad. So says the smooth-sayer. Fair enough. If only the director had not decided to apply the motto [...]
In a season of overblown action-comedies with superstars laying down the ground-rules for dynamic dada-giri on the large screen, it is refreshing and comforting to see an aging world-weary working-class hero who travels to work on a rickety scooter and tries to fulfil his nucleur family’s dreams of a car.

This is a film about coping with dying. But that’s not what makes it such a special experience.
