Romeo’s Mother doesn’t want him to join army that’s why he is working in a bank .He is a great disguise master too and he performs different role.

He comes across one such secret about an big attack that’s going to happen in east pakistan that is Bangladesh which had many Indian People. He forwards this msg , amidst this he gets caught . What happens then is for the audience to watch.

Script Anaylsis And Director Review : The script is interesting but the approach is not up to date due to poor screenplay it fails to be up to to the mark. The Director has tried to give a message that an agent who gets caught does he become a liability for a country .Does his patriotism is questionable. The locations and 1970 looks are perfect.

Performances : John Abhraham has done and good job but his face lacks expressions and emotions which works against him.
Jackie Shroff is too good . Sikender Kher and Mouni Roy are average

Final Word: The concept of Raazi And Raw are somewhat similar. Can watch it once
