Directed and co-written by Gopichand Malineni, the film is a mass entertainer that caters to certain audiences. It isn't for the everyday cinema fans, but it is enjoyable to the masses. Sunny Deol is pretty much himself in a film that is entirely set in the south, with major tones and vibes from the regional cinema.
The writing and direction aren't anything new or different from other Tamil or Telugu superstar-based films in recent years. The only difference is Sunny Deol and his war cry. The film begins with a bloodied letter reaching the president of India asking for help after their village has been raided by a terrorist who runs an organised crime syndicate in and around 30 villages.
The letter by a young girl as the president in tears, as it arrives with 10 thumbs of her brothers from the village. The letter promises that if they can't find help, the next time a box of severed heads will reach the Rashtrapati Bhavan. We do get several back stories in the film, some with narration.
Randeep Hooda's Ranatunga and his brothers come from Sri Lanka after stealing a ton of gold. They bribe their way into the country, become citizens and take over most of the coastal villages in Andhra Pradesh. Meanwhile, Sunny Deol's Bhaskar Singh Jaat also gets his version of backstories.
For most of the second half, the film has both one-upping each other their back stories and how strong they are.

The film is filled with plenty of fan service moments not only for Sunny Deol but also for Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar Singh fans. While Sunny Deol mostly throws the punches in extreme slow motion, Randeep Hooda gets to play the villain with dramatic scenes and action sequences. Vineet Singh gets the best of both worlds; he has many intense scenes, and he goes through them with conviction.
it may or may not work. The plot follows a nonlinear story of a village which is being taken over by a goon and his family. The terror of the family is so strong in the area that no one can walk in and out of the city without him finding out.
The story moves forward as Sunny Deol's character finds out more about the village, its people and the atrocities they have been put through. Other than the action, the makers have given their best with onliners both for Randeep Hooda and Sunny Deol. But it's the comedy in many scenes that lands better.

The film is similar to every other South Indian film, and fans of the regional cinemas should feel right at home. Cover artwork by Patrick Gawande/Mashable India.
