There are no songs or action sequences, but all action is in the court proceedings that keeps audience interest in script intact though some scenes of 26/11 can be re lived leading to anger and scars n each Indians Heart but the trial proceedings and delegates cmg from Pakistan those scenes are shot very well .The script and screenplay keeps the narrative interesting

Performances: Rajkumar Rao is the film’s backbone. Playing Nikam with dogged sincerity and intense focus, he anchors the movie’s most gripping sequences with full intensity and some emotional family moments are also played thoroughly by him

Lalit Prabhakar as Ajmal Kasab:Prabhakar delivers an unsettling, restrained, and standout performance as the captured terrorist, successfully .He has played the brain washed pawn perfectly

Sikander kher is too good and Judge role played by Ashish Vidyarthi is excellent.
