Surprisingly, John Abraham taps in his more mature side, And a controlled and yet provides powering performance. He does not go into the hill action routine, but keeps it finely, vested and does not talk about his silence.

The filmmaker has maintained the action quotient for the story, so it is real and epic, every explosion, chase, and shodown and take the story forward. The film is visually surprising, the color palette is diverse and diverse, from the brutal lane of Delhi to the barren landscape of Abu Dhabi, the measure of the film is epic!
The first half is stunningly designed, but this is the second half where the plot sees an unexpected turn and it begins to run to an epic climax. Once the sanctioned operation soon gets unpounted for Rajiv, which is now hunted by Iran and Israel, and left by his government, he still finds resources and resolves to do the right thing.
