Sanjay Gupta's Shootout At Wadala largely draws inspiration from journalist-author S Hussain Zaidi's Dongri to Dubai-6 decades of the Mumbai mafia. But the maker takes the cinematic liberty of changing the material at hand to make his film and characters more engaging. Or should we say largely entertaining. SAW ultimately belongs to Gupta, who stays true to the genre and makes a welcome return to the credible lot of Bollywood directors. Note: You may not like this film if don't have the appetite for blood and gore.

However, instead of engaging the viewers with a well-written screenplay, the film’s story runs all over the place with horrendous dialogues peppered with the most crass expletives that sound more inconsequential than sinister. The exaggerated action scenes and over-the-top violence makes it difficult to believe that the film is inspired from journalist S Hussain Zaidi’s non-fiction book Dongri to DubaiInstead of this self-indulgent gore-fest, we would have appreciated a little more focus on the gangsters' psyche.
Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi
What’s Good: Balanced and Tempting action sequences which hit hard yet do not leave a traumatizing effect. What’s Bad: The narrative is ruined by the languid editing towards the later half of the film which makes the ending a little troublesome. Watch or Not?: Sanjay Gupta’s Shootout At Wadala is better than the last Shootout edition. Outstandingly, John Abraham does keep true to his word of giving the most pleasantly conspicuous performance of his career. The film’s well drawn out action sequences are delightful which makes the other loopholes in it seem faint. Overall, the film makes for a favorable one time watch. For the ultimate satisfaction of your cinematic juices, I do hope you know how to whistle!
