Five years ago, Sidharth Malhotra was a top spy for a super-secret covert operations group. However, he was growing weary of the morally questionable life under a commander who has, unknown to him, gone rogue. When ordered to grab some code from an American programmer, he does so, and watches in horror as his fellow spies kill the guy. He escapes and assumes the identity of the American. Now he is living his dream of la vida non-loco in Miami, with a big house and an SUV. He is about to propose to Jacqueline Fernandez, when he discovers she thinks him utterly boring and so does not. In the meantime, his boss discovers where he is and sends agents to recover the code and kill him.
Sound a bit like THE BIG HIT? It's a good premise for an action comedy, but there is something off with this version. It's almost two hours long and by the time we get up to the present day, half the movie has gone by, with a lot left to go. There's nothing overtly wrong with any individual scene, but it feels like it's half again as long as it should be, even with the obligatory Bollywood dance numbers.
