Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Blistering performances.

This film dishes up emotions like drugs, and if anyone is addicted to such stuff he's sure to enjoy this flick. It has the unbreakable friendship bond, enmity, betrayal, courage, emotions and above all four excellent performances in Ranveer, Arjun, Irrfan and Priyanka. I'm a big time anti-Arjun, but I think even he did really well here in this film.Of course, the story and the plot may not be something entirely new or extraordinary, but the films doesn't go dull even for a moment. However, let's touch upon the controversial aspect of this film:1. It shows of India mistreating Bangladeshi refugees. It offended some Indians I read.Then we move onto the two biggest controversial parts of it, the third being the one that caused protests!2. It shows that, for no apparent reasons, Bangladeshis consider themselves Indians. This is best seen in the scene where they kill that man on the train and shout out at him "How are they to be blamed for having been born on the other side of the border? How does it make you any better Indian for having born on this side?" Absolutely cringe-worthy patriotism propaganda!3. In its very introductory few minutes, Bangladesh's independence is portrayed as a by-product of an Indo-Pak war. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why this film ends up as the worst- rated film on IMDb thanks to the mass voting by the Bangladeshis - a campaign that was kind of officially led by some organisation of theirs on social media; and I totally understand their sentiment. Maybe I would've understood their objection to it better had I myself been a Bangladeshi, because they take great pride in their struggle for liberation and the number of people who lost lives for them.But I would think beyond those introductory notes read by Irrfan the first few minutes and rate it as a film based on its own story, film-making and performances. As a fan of Ranveer, I fully enjoyed this emotion-fest, complemented by three wonderful songs, especially that soulful Qawwaali. I can watch it any day and enjoy it all over again!

This movie had NOTHING special. First of all they completely confused Indians on how Bangladesh got its independence. IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY BECAUSE OF India! India did help, we are completely grateful for that. Really are! But you also gotta remember the bloodshed of three lakh Bengalis!! It basically gave no importance to that. Second of all, what is so SPECIAL ABOUT THIS MOVIE?? Just a freakin love triangle. Except its setting is way back in time. THAT IS IT!!! JUST those masala movies. I request everyone to not waste their time and money.The only reason I am giving 2 stars to this film was because of the songs. The songs were very much acceptable. But really expected much more from these 3 actors. I hope that indians boycott these kind of movies. So that there will be room for creativity.

This movie is like the Citizen Kane of India. No other film has reached the level of art that this film has. I salute India for making this masterpiece. You watch a young smart man Nikram, an awesome man who moved to Bangladesh. India would never be the same. The action is so fun that you would rather die than have this movie taken away from you while playing. Once you watch the movie at least one time, you will never stop watching. It's so addictive to watch that weed and fapping will seem like a piece of crap in comparison. The visuals are astoundingly beautiful, pushing the low res bollywood hardware to the limit. I'm gonna be completely honest, when I saw a frame of India in the movie, I legitimately thought that I was in India! That's incredible! The dialogue is The Godfather tier. The story is very thought provoking, about what it means to be the ruler of the town or at least working for the government, and I'm not going to give spoilers, as the movie should be completely experienced alone and any twist should come as a surprise.. I can't explain anymore on why this movie is an instant classic, go and watch at least 20 or 30 times, however even that isn't enough to reward the creators, or artists as they should be called, for their work in creating the GREATEST movie ever made in ANY country.
