Plot: Two cops team up in a 36-hour mission to rescue India's top batsman who went missing in the Middle East.  

Review: The movie starts off with the kidnapping of India's finest cricketer Viraj Sharma, played by Saqib Salim by terrorizing Altaf, played by Rahul Dev at the instruction of Wagah, portrayed by Akshaye Khanna. The movie lacks impact when it comes to the story as it is a fairly unsurprising script and as no helping-hand is provided by the narration. 

The movie essentially rides on the back of lead actors John Abraham and Varun Dhawan. John played the part of a no-nonsense rough guy with ease and Varun made the film shine with his unique comical avatar. However, the main comedy provided in the film was by the cameo appearance of Akshay Kumar who played the role of Samir. His sense of dialogue and comic timings are impeccable in the film. The villains in the film are a letdown, and in no way create a sense of emergency for the protagonists to rescue the cricketer. 

Some of the action sequences in the movie were great and coupled with the cinematography done by Ayananka Bose, provides an impressive visual. 

The script is extremely predictable with the only saving grace of the movie coming from the comic scenes between the actors. The movie is a light-hearted experience with some enjoyable moments and admirable visuals.
