Pintoo Shukla (arjun) is the son of an IPS officer (raj babbar) and he is gutsy, rough and tough but at the same time knows how to respect and treat women. He loves Kabaddi and heads to Mathura. In tha place lives Radhika (sonakshi) who falls in the eyes of the notorious Bahubali Gajendra Singh (manoj bajpayee) desperate to marry her. A chance incident ends up with Pintoo clashing against Gajendra and what happens from there forms the rest.

The director has come up with a action packed romantic storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was engaging enough. The dialogues were well written. The script was familiar but the screenplay made it lot better. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was the main strength to this film. Editing was needed more because the films drags at places,15-20 min trim was needed. Costumes were well designed to suit the backdrop while the art department was natural. Arjun Kapoor has shown his improvement once again and he does a very good job. Sonakshi Sinha made her presence felt. The best among the lot is Manoj Bajpayee, he was too good. Subrat Dutta was impressive, Raj Babbar was seen in a great form after awhile, Rajesh Sharma was apt. Shruti Haasan sizzled with her song.

The film is the remake of the Telugu blockbuster Okkadu starring Mahesh Babu and it must be said that the director has not deviated from the original. The first half goes about with certain elements of humor, romance and action. The interval bang was interesting and the second half has the same momentum filled with action and drama. The climax sequences came out well. Overall, this is a film which has been packaged with the right kind of commercial masala that would appease the audience,yes the story is done to death but works, reasons being the film is surrounded with entertaining sequences, the acting is top notch, and action is great. Only negative is the films pace.Finally this a film which should attract all masala film lovers its not made for lovers of serious art cinema. A mass film.

3.25/5* or 6.5/10
