The Good, the Bad and the Love Triangle:

• Despite being overstuffed, the movie managed to be emotionally resonant which is no small feat given how many different genres, tones, and characters it has to juggle.

• From breath-taking shots of outdoor Arunachal locales to engrossing shots of parties, the cinematography provides an undeniably strong support to the film.

• Every frame was executed beautifully including the war scenes, but perhaps the movie can improve a bit in the VFX and editing department.

• The cast is good. Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor are great in their roles, and Kangana is definitely the soul of the film.

Trivia:

• Kangana Ranaut's character is based off the first stunt woman of Hindi films, Fearless Nadia.
