Enjoyed it!!

I finally got to watch this after listening to and reading about all the hype and it was totally worth it, I left the film thinking "Man, I would love it if they make a sequel." The 8.5 and 97% scores are justified.

I'm gonna keep this short and not reveal much. This was a thrilling police procedural without over the top masala & heroism, a rarity by itself to begin with. You'll find this to be a very well written film above all. I'm glad they didn't have any high profile names who'd have over shadowed the script, but I wonder if the lack of a big name is limiting the reach this film should have had by now. It almost sounds like there's hardly been any marketing and whatever hype's been created, is purely based on word of mouth - which tells you something about the film. Don't just stop with the film, watch the director's interviews once you're done - masterclass on writing and cinematography. This will make you appreciate it more.

The theater I was in had blaring music, wish that had been toned down. If I had to nitpick I can point to a few things and say this and that could have been slightly different, but never mind all that. Watch it, especially if you love a good thriller. You won't be disappointed.
