The screenwriting is watertight.
Although it takes time to settle down, the
solid writing in the second hour keeps
you on the edge. In fact, the turn of
events in the second half takes the film
to its zenith. A large chunk of
SHOOTOUT AT WADALA is devoted to
high-voltage action sequences. Unlike
some recent films, the action here is raw
and real, reminiscent of the films of the
1980s. On the whole, SHOOTOUT AT
WADALA is a fire-brand, paisa vasool
entertainer. Brutal and electrifying, it is
one of those theatre-going experiences
that has a plot, is packaged well and has
content [drama, action, dialogue, songs,
performances] that works big time with
the avid moviegoer. Sanjay Gupta
delivers a solid punch!
