That means Eagle snatched a chick and flies away, the story seems true but not great. The chick fights back, the story isn’t rrue but feels great. Signifying the fightback of the common man against the system which had wronged him.
Director Nishikant Kamat comes back with a bang after Drishyam with this social thriller. A low budget film worth the money spent on it. The actors played their character well mostly, Irfan khan being the brightest star. The underrated Jimmy Shergil though under utilized plays his part elegantly.
