    Wanted: Radhe and Salman’s commitments
    Film presents Salman Khan in a role where he is at ease and where his working on his character looks visible. From a Character point of view Salman was at home.

    PERFORMANCE FAILURE
    Whenever you read or heard “Is actor ne us actor ke performance ko us film me kaccha chaba liya hai” means one actor has overshadowed another actor’s performance. What do you thinks at that time?
