Special 26 (2013)
6/10
Great thriller but not without flaws

Warning: Spoilers
Special 26 Directed by Neeraj Pandey is a thriller drama you can't afford to miss. Its about a gang of four people conducting heist posing as CBI officers.

The thriller is greatly directed, well performed with Manoj Bajpayee doubtlessly being the best being followed by Anupam Kher. The rest of the cast also performed well.

But there are some major flaws in the movie 1. Firstly, why the unnecessary love angle between Akshay and Kajal. I mean it would have been ok even if it was brief but it actually is carried with romance, emotions and four songs, I mean why??

2. The lack of depth provided into the heists of the officers as in how they got the information, how did they convince people about them being CBI officers, They are living a complete mediocre lifestyle after conducting about 50 raids, How did they got the paper verification done???, etc.?

3. Her, we are being made to route for the bad characters, but why by showing the actual CBI not smart. In the last segment, they didn't kept any trusted security in the warehouse. We know they were sure about the raid that would be conducted in the actual shop, but still if they are shifting gold at the warehouse, it turns out quite silly that they didn't keep any strong security at warehouse.

4. There are also wrong historical references.
