First off, the story and subplots of this movie go absolutely nowhere. Is Batla House a story about media treatment of the police? Is it about terrorism? Is it a mystery? Bad husbands? Biceps? Insane lawyers? Your guess is as good as mine, and Nikkhil Advani has no idea either.
The characters are witless and melodramatic and have absolutely no business running an anti-terrorism unit. Motivations and objectives change at a whim, and nobody ever listens to anybody else. The direction is wayward and has no grip on the plot.
The premise of the movie is an encounter which the media and public believe to be fake. Nobody believes the police until about 2 and half hours into the movie when John finally gives a speech from the court witness stand where he discloses the evidence. Had this evidence been shared at the beginning of the movie, we could have avoided this mess of a movie altogether.
There's absolutely no reason to watch this god-awful movie. 2/10.
