For the ultimate satisfaction of your cinematic juices, I do hope you know how to whistle!īased on the life of the 80s’ gangster Manya Surve, the film’s script follows the pattern of reality. Overall, the film makes for a favorable one time watch. The film’s well drawn out action sequences are delightful which makes the other loopholes in it seem faint. Outstandingly, John Abraham does keep true to his word of giving the most pleasantly conspicuous performance of his career. Watch or Not?: Sanjay Gupta’s Shootout At Wadala is better than the last Shootout edition. Entirely depends on your threshold of withstanding such films.

What’s Bad: The narrative is ruined by the languid editing towards the later half of the film which makes the ending a little troublesome.

What’s Good: Balanced and Tempting action sequences which hit hard yet do not leave a traumatizing effect. Star cast: John Abraham, Kangana Ranaut, Anil Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Manoj Bajpai, Mahesh Manjrekar, Tusshar Kapoor. Rating: 3.5/5 stars (Three And Half Stars)
