This is a movie about terrorism and akshay has come up with with a great movie and show how if a officer wants he can completly finish terrorisman. it is edge of the seat thriller, very well directed, As far as stereotyping is concerned, you cannot make a movie with this subject matter and no stereotyping(however using the word pandering is an exaggeration).
Further, what’s wrong with a movie being simple, does it have to be complicated to be good? The only flaw in the movie is that K K Menon’s character should have been developed and given more screen time. a must watch if not watched yet. go for it guys.
