This is a violent film and does not attempt to sugarcoat a thing. This film is just a constant bloodbath, and in the violence you find some gems. The acting is above all praise, there is not a single person who doesn't seem to fit his or her role. There are acting legends in various roles in the film, but one star outshines them all. Irrfan Khan is absolutely perfect in this. The pathos, the pain, the ambition, everything is played to perfection. This man knew his stuff, and it is tragic to think that he isn't going to be in movies anymore. What a brilliant act - this movie was made for him, and he makes it what it is in the end - an absolute must-watch.
The cinematography, the screenplay, the performances, the music, everything works as an asset to his film. Definitely a memorable movie, one of the best of the decade.
