With such important subjects each time Akshay Kumar is trying to be a socially committed actor but most of them always stay short of being really effective. Here also the subject is important in the bigoted Indian society but the execution is just ok. The film lacks proper focus and the issue is still not addressed properly keeping it taboo and only reachable to an extent. The narrative is not at all consistent and the first half drags so much without making any point. But the subject and its reality are so powerful that when the film works it hits them hard. How the society reacts at each point just makes me ashamed of my country and even though I haven't directly seen such situations or people I can't deny the probability of such occurrences. Even though the subject is kind of approached superficially the importance and social effect of the film that can be felt through some of the moments in the film make it worth it.
