This movie completely belongs to Salman Khan with for a change his amazing & perfect acting as an ageing struggling wrestler. Anushka Sharma is brilliant and looked so refined with her performance. The movie is so well balanced with story line and all it's character. The real delight of movie is it's honesty, originality, music, thrills and amazing dialog delivery by each characters in movie.
