The fast-paced energy of the film will be loved by today's youngsters. All the actors have a done a terrific job. I loved the new girl Anuja Sathe's work. She stood out.

It's fantastic, I wanted to see all the stupid things that are in the film and I was guessing who is going to die next. I love it, I was bowled over since the trailer, I knew what I was in for and once it started till interval, superb and after interval, it just takes off. Everyone, the writing, the direction, the cast is believable, you know that they are in this mess and how do you get out, and if you are really in that mess how do you really get out. Fantastic, be the police guy, be the detective, all the star cast, Irrfan is obviously fantastic but everyone put together, I loved it!"

Talking about Abhinay he said, "I am a fan of his from Delhi Belly, this type of film is like a niche direction that he does, but obviously Breaking Bad like of thing. You don't want it to end, he is fabulous in his work. Very few directors have this quirkiness if you freeze a frame and you watch everywhere in the film you will come to know what the director has added."
