Sai Kabir (writer, Kismat Konnection ) makes his directorial debut with this political drama.
Kangana plays the role of Alka Singh , a Chambal dacoit turned politician who is ugly but orders all her clothes from Paris , likes to give interviews in English and is generous enough to build an entire Chambal film city for her boy friend. Her look inspired from Michael Jackson and Gabbar Singh is quite innovative .
Guess for her character , the director must have taken inspiration from Hollywood mafia films but watching an Indian dacoit wearing metallic bustiers and immersing her somehow perfectly toned body in a jacuzzi seemed too comic and out of place.
The basic problem with the film is the story which starts as a revenge saga and then turns into an obsessive love story along with some political planning and backstabbing . At every chance the characters are either shooting bullets, drinking whiskey or indulging in dirty politics . The film goes on and on and the climax really disappoints .
After Anurag Kashyap's 'Gangs of Wasseypur ' a trend has started of showing too much violence , bloodshed and killings in a film irrespective of the story which highly compromises the content of the film and becomes unsuitable for family viewing.
It was a great move by the producers to release the film just after 'Queen' and cash on Kangana's popularity. The critics who were dazed by Kangana's last performance gave rave reviews to the film but the audience who is much wiser waited for word of mouth and when there was none, stayed away from the film. The film, which was released in 1500 theatres managed to earn just 10 crores in 5 days which is pretty less considering the budget of the film.
Music is average. Though it was a pleasant surprise to listen to Asha Bhosle sing ,' Kaafi nahi Chaand ', in her melodious and haunting voice.

In a line even though the film has some comic moments and fine acting by lead actors it could have been much better if proper attention was paid on the story .
