The first part is more layered than the sequel

Sorry, it’s not a masterpiece, at least not for me.”
Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt looted the party

Missing Akshaye Khanna’s Rahman Dacoit

Predictable script, lack of innovation

In his Instagram caption, he described the film as having a lot of interpretations, and compared it to “teaching school kids how bad guys work.” He said that the dialogue was clear and spoken for the audience, with a lot of clichés and clichés. According to him, the film included action sequences for its own sake and frequent car explosions inspired by Rohit Shetty’s style.
