The CinePearl Take

Nihalani’s measured pacing keeps tension simmering, never allowing the narrative to become preachy. Naseeruddin Shah’s haunted performance as a conflicted officer stands out, while Amrish Puri brings a chilling gravitas to the antagonist role. The film’s exploration of ethical gray zones feels surprisingly relevant today, though its slow-burn approach may test viewers seeking nonstop action.
