Review By Kamal K
Director Shanker Raman sets up the world to explore the dark side of Haryana, and to keep things short and gritty, he misses to build any sort of tension through the narrative. You don't root for either of the leads, as the director fails to create any sort of sympathy towards the leads, and this is due to a lack of characterisation.
While the first hour shows some spark, the entire build-up falls like a pack of cards towards the final 45 minutes. Bobby Deol's character too is undercooked as there was a need to invest more time in curating a backstory for a serial killer like him, who is riding on such a strong and overpowering ideology.
Talking of performances, Bobby Deol shines and delivers a powerful performance. He is fierce all through the film, has a screen presence that's enough to spike fear, and does well with his dialogue delivery too. Sanya Malhotra too delivers an earnest performance, slipping into the mould of her multi-dimensional character. Vikrant Massey is good as always and does well within the circle that the script entangled him in. Raj Arjun's character is rather pointless, though he has done well in the arc. Akshay Oberoi and the rest of the actors are rather wasted, not getting enough scope to perform.

And most important thing Ek banda Vakeel, police, couples, sabko maar deta hai aur koi media Attention Nhi, okay wow.
