    Another short review

    GOOD
    - This film is an epic and has good direction & shot blocking. An epic in every sense of the word
    - The action and stunt choreography is great and well done
    - The performances from the cast are stellar especially SRK, Danny Denzongpa & Ajith Kumar
    - The story, the dialogues and character arcs are done to perfection
    - The background score is beautiful. The music is also good and well used in places

    MEH

    One 2 Ka 4

    ★★★

    GOOD
    - Jackie Shroff's quite endearing take as Detective Javed Abbas was something quite surprising IMO. He was the beating heart of this movie & I longed for him to receive more screen time. Juhi Chawla also puts up a solid performance as Geeta. She's bubbly, endearing yet, when a new facet of her character is revealed, stalwart & her chemistry with SRK is truly unmatched as we have seen countless times over the years
    - This story is jam-packed with action…

    - A well shot, well directed and well executed high stakes thriller movie
    - Every single actor performed their roles fantastically especially Madhuri who kills as this strong, feminist hero and SRK as the stubborn, insistent, spoilt, incel. A movie very much ahead of it's time
    - FUCK THE SYSTEM! FUCK INCELS! ACAB! I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR! Fuck yes!! That third act was the one of most satisfying third acts and the FINAL SHOT is to die…

    GOOD
    - Star-studded cast and their performances were, mostly, rather good upon rewatch. Divya Bharti is the stand-out here and, if fate wasn't more cruel to her, she would be talked in the same regard as Sridevi.
    - Solid soundtrack all the way through. If you have a Pankaj Udhas original, you immediately get at least a 5 out of 10

    MEH
    - Just your typical Bollywood masala movie AGAIN and uses every trope in the book wherever it fits…
