Mumbai Saga

Motive is understood as the reason or story behind the commission of an offence. Amartya (John Abraham) meets Murali (Suneil Shetty) only to learn the way to rule Mumbai. The meeting and subsequent killings clarify what Amartya's motive is, also it artistically portrays how regional gangsters work by forming the intention to kill (mens rea) at the spur of the moment.

The film takes an adrenaline rushing turn, when Inspector Vijay Savarkar (Emraan Hashmi) interferes to accost Amartya only as per a diktat- clearly portraying the constant rustle between duties and orders. Finally, the juxtaposing of illegality and government power is sincerely weaved towards the end of the film.
