😍♥️legendary

Rating: 7.6/10 ⭐️

It completely levels up the Bollywood heist formula, trading gritty street races for slick international espionage.

The Director’s Eye:
The sweeping shots of Rio and the desert gave me fantastic visual inspiration. Through my traditional lens, I love rooting for law and order. ACP Dixit's by-the-book pursuit of an arrogant criminal is great, and Bachchan brings real grounded authority. The cat-and-mouse dynamic with Roshan is super engaging. Pritam’s soundtrack is early-2000s fire, giving the heists awesome momentum.

The Cuts:
A heavy romance subplot made the middle part really drag for me. Early 2000s VFX (like the obvious green screen in the desert stunt) looked rough and pulled me right out of the illusion. Plus, the cartoonish comedic relief totally clashed with the movie's high-stakes tone.

Verdict:
A stylish caper championing the relentless police pursuit of justice. A fantastic weekend watch!

Favorite Line: “A thief is always a thief.”
