I always think trains make for a great confined, slightly claustrophobic, setting for a thriller and with the help of the very easy on the eye Lakshya proving he's pretty nimble with just about everything from a fire extinguisher to a bathroom sink, we set about trying to thwart the intentions of a group of thirty-odd bandits who board a train heading to Delhi and proceed to brutally rob the passengers. That was pretty much the gist of their plan until they discover that the wealthy "Baldeo" (Harsh Chhaya) is travelling with his family. Never mind scraping around for a few old iPhones and some costume jewellery, their enthusiastic young leader "Fani" (Raghav Juyal) decides to take them hostage. Now this is probably his biggest mistake as it turns out that the man's daughter "Tulika" (Tanya Maniktala) is the love of the life of our intrepid commando "Amrit", and when events unfold becoming more violent, and tragic, this unleashes in him a feverish desire for retribution that proves the training at the National Commando School of India is extremely effective. With his colleague "Viresh" (Abhishek Chauhan) travelling with him, and with the help of one or two courageous passengers, the two soldiers are hopelessly outnumbered, but hugely inventive. This isn't a film you go to see for the dialogue - there isn't really very much, and what there is doesn't really matter. This is simply…

Good god like 45 minutes of the same guys fighting. There are some cool deaths but how many times can I see a guy get a khurki or whatever knife stuck in their shoulder before they die. Everyone fights at such randomly skilled levels depending on the scene. It's so fucking long and boring.

62/100 A family of bandits plan to rob a train. They didn't plan on a couple of Commandos being on board. For me, the characters never connected so I didn't care about them much. Because of that, those moments of melodrama, which were pretty thick, just annoyed me. However, the action is unrelenting, savage, brutal and gory. Although I did get tired of the constant repetition of people who were seemingly defeated getting back up and fighting again, it certainly wasn't boring and if you like constant claustrophobic, in-your-face bloody violence, this is for you. -- DrNostromo.com
