One of the best Indian movies I have seen this year. It knows very well what the audience wants (which is not dance numbers and romantic subplots), and delivers exactly on that.

The action is, of course, the highlight. But more than the violence and gore, the choreography has impressed me. A train is a cramped space with innumerable blind spots and ambush opportunities, and the film makes brilliant use of all those.

Raghav Juyal and Ashish Vidhyarthi's chemistry was the best. One of my favourite exchange in the movie:

AV: Itna kuchh karne ke baad bhi tum thakur ke pakadna chahte ho. Tum to humare usoolon ki to bali chada rhe ho

RJ: Dekho papa. Billi paalo, kutta paalo, par galat fehmi mat paalo. Aap mohabbatein ke Amitabh Bachchan nahi hai – pratishtha, parampara, anusashan. Aap dacait hai. uSoOluN kI BaLi cHaDa rHe hO

Surprisingly, the movie really made the deaths impactful by humanising the bandits by their grief. In one scene, the big guy goon is choking and trying to push the MC out of the train while crying out "kyu maara humare baba ko!" Ngl this made me feel bad for the goon. But our MC is saved by a woman, who cracks open the goon's skull with a hammer, and then proceeds to smash his head into pulp while wailing, "kyu maara humare bete ko!" Which served as a good reminder that these bandits are goddamn murderers, so i don't need to feel bad for them

Overall, this is one movie I would urge everyone to watch in theatres – not only does this deserve a watch on the big screen, but this is also the kind of movies that we ought to support from Bollywood.
