But the whole tale could have never been so immense without the trio of Arjun Rampal, Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan's brilliant performance.
Irrfan Khan fits into the role of an emotional yet tough Wali Khan.
Arjun Rampal is brilliant as Rudra Pratap. He articulates less but is robust in attitude.
Rishi Kapoor is becoming tastier like old wine. It's his third outing this year and second time in a negative role. Seems like the veteran is reinventing himself.
Huma Qureshi gives a good performance. She adds a good support to her RAW team.
Shruti Haasan doesn't get too much spotlight but puts up a good show as a sex worker.
Editing is brilliant. The sound mixing also deserves an appreciation. Action by Tom Struthers and John Street, who have worked for Hollywood acclaimed flicks like Inception, The Dark Knight have brought in some brilliant raw combating sequences in the flick.
Music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy suits to the disposition of the flick. My favourite song is ‘Alvida'.
I'll go with three stars for Nikhil Advani's D-Day.
