Reviews
	Good
Movie Talkies 3.5	"...A Moving Tale of Hope "
B4U 3.5	"...a great comeback for Ghai-the director. With patriotic undertones, this film is a must-watch"
ApunKaChoice 3.0	"...an honest and commendable effort by Ghai. And it deserves to be seen at least once"
Business Of Cinema 3.0	"...probably might be Subhash Ghai�s first non-mass movie but the attempt is in the right direction"
Hindustan Times 3.0	"...Worth a look for viewers who care more for their conscience than their popcorn"
Baradwaj Rangan 3.0	"...best work in recent times, but does being better than Yaadein and Kisna really count for much"
Mag 4 You 3.0	"...a laudable work of an ever-successful director"
IndiaFM 3.0	"...a fine effort from a master storyteller who dares to change lanes with this film"
Rediff 3.0	"...a relevant watch"
RadioSargam 3.0	"...worthy of your choice of cinema this weekend"
Indya.com 3.0	"...The showman for the first time changing his tracks from popular entertainers to serious meaningful cinema has outdone himself in all the departments"
AllBollywood.com 3.0	"...a well crafted, finely written and packaged piece of cinema"
Times Of India 3.0	"...a thought-provoking film that challenges the state's stereotypical formula to combat terrorism"
	Average
IndiaTimes 2.5	"...neither disturbingly dark nor lucidly light. It�s somewhere in between. Perhaps gracefully grey"
Glamsham 2.5	"...a brave attempt by Ghai to deal with a suicide bomber, but like I mentioned earlier, there are never easy answers. It is worth a watch, nevertheless"
Deccan Herald 2.0	"...a wasted opportunity with a hurried climax and an unconvincing U-turn by the hero"
Buzz 18 2.0	"...See the film but accept the inherent loopholes in the screenplay "
IndiaGlitz 2.0	"...Ghai indeed tries something different but looses out with the screenplay that at times just drags the film along"
Now Running 2.0	"...Ghai's latest film puts it literally in black and white- the man is clearly past his prime"
Bollywood Mantra 2.0	"...has noble intentions and the script is average, it is the screenplay that is placid and not hard hitting enough"
Times Now 2.0	"...Not Conventional But Not Convincing"
Planet Bollywood 2.0	"...has its share of flaws, but is a good watch"
Outlook India 2.0	"...despite its good-hearted commitment to nationalism and communal harmony, the message gets mixed and convoluted"
Without Giving The Movie Away 2.0	"...Haven�t we had an overdose of movies based on religious fanaticism and associated terrorism already"
	Poor
Music 'N Movies 1.5	"...Mockery of sensitive subject"
Mumbai Mirror 1.0	"...This peculiar piece of pretense is really hard to take"
IBN Live 1.0	"...a miscalculation in every sense of the word, a film that makes Kisna and Yaadein seem watchable"
BBC 1.0	"...a one dimensional script and dire direction from the veteran leaves newcomer Anurag Sinha struggling to portray anything of depth. There's nothing but religious patronising here"
