For that, I'll give him a firm handshake. There are few loopholes in the film, which also raises questions about ethics and rationalism, but that is exactly what Mr. Taking the law into his own hands, simultaneously teasing the law-enforcers about their incapability and callousness, is what John explicitly engages in throughout the film. What a man can and will do to finally attain peace during testing times is what the primary theme of the film is. This makes the plot look like it is only a pillion rider without a helmet. The writers have given more importance and screen time to the lead actor than what was necessary, throwing the narration partially under the bus. Not to mention the slow pace of the first half. John is crestfallen, yes, but the aura that encapsulates him, and for that matter, every other character in the film, is very thin, and made of clouds which make everything look they are superficial. But what affects the narrative is the dull execution. The premise is fine and is set in the enigmatic state of Kolkata. But more than he can help John find his granddaughter's killer, he assists Sarita (Balan), a detective who is investigating a kidnap case eerily similar to the one he handled 8 years ago. He seeks the help of Martin, who is now a padre at a local church after leaving police force and much more skilled at it. So he sets out, rather courageously and convincingly, racing back in time to decode what really happened. Presently, he has still not gotten over the incident and has resolved to attain justice, if not revenge. He had done all that he could to save the kid's life, including doing what he was told to do by the police, led by the unskilled detective Martin (Siddiqui). John (Bachchan) is an aged, grief-stricken man whose granddaughter was kidnapped and subsequently killed by an unknown man 8 years ago. Ribhu Dasgupta's middling thriller is just that, plus a little slow.
