Soha Ali Khan, who plays Ajay's psychiatrist, delivers an average performance. He lacks the aura of a villain and is only assigned a limited job in the film. The antagonist Narendra Jha is a complete turn-off. He, however, owns the action sequences and is a treat to watch. The actual problem is in the writing as it didn't gave much scope to his character to have created a similar impact. Reprising the character of Ajay Mehra, Sunny Deol lacks the original spark. Although, the film is just 126 minutes long, but the editing could have been much tighter. Cinematographer Ravi Yadav does a decent job with his camera and sets the mood of the film.
Technical aspects of the film are just about average. Also, we don't see the same aggression in Ajay's character as it was in the previous film. One of the major short comings is that it takes a long time to establish the characters and the plot of the movie. The screenplay of the sequel borrows from the original instalment but sadly couldn't come any where close to it. The car chase sequences and the action scenes remains the highlight of his direction. Sunny, as the captain of the ship puts in a genuine effort but it is script of the film that lets him down. The hero v/s villain confrontation is pretty much predictable and doesn't leave the expected impact. The action scenes are the only strong point as there isn't a single whistle-worthy dialogue by Sunny Deol. The second-half is comparatively better but not enough to have let the film emerge as a winner. It is only towards the end of the first-half that the film begins to take pace and we finally see Sunny getting into his action mode.
The first-half of the film lacks steam as there isn't a single powerful scene or a heroic act by Sunny Deol. The murderer, Kabir (Abhilash Kumar) is the son of a powerful business tycoon Raj Bansal (Narendra Jha) and it is from here that a typical Bollywood fight between right and wrong begins.Ījay Mehra, the last hope of the four kids, takes the entire matter in his hands and decides to rescue them from Bansal's political game.
