Plot Summary

A criminal tries to mend his ways. Only this time he fails and gets another chance to do the right thing.

What Worked

• Shivam's insecurity when Aaliya prays.
• The first scene between Mallik and Reema.
• Every time someone tries to mock Shivam for going to extreme lengths just for a woman, you know he's doing it for his own redemption.
• The fact that Shivam feels he owes Mallik an explanation. Though the lengthy dialogues damaged it a bit.

What did not

• Awful choreography in the songs, even if it was intentional.
• How come Reema is never aware of people following her, even if they are in the same room!
• Or for that matter, how come Aaliya and Shivam don't see an entire village approaching them.
• How come Reema leaves all doors to her home open, especially when she knows she's being followed?
• Do they have waterproof phones in Hong Kong?
• The coincidences!
• The background score
• How did the rifle appear on the terrace shoot out between Munna and Shivam?
