It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I have been recommended this movie quite a few times. The basic premise is very interesting. Con men posing as CBI officers and conducting raids on hoarders of black money. The story is written in such a way that you immediately start rooting for the "bad guys". The characters are well sketched-out and likable. The performances were very good, especially Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher. Jimmy Sheirgill and Manoj Bajpayee enrich the cast further.This movie is written very well and not much felt out of place. The build-up was good and the pace was commendable. The songs seemed really unnecessary though. I did not like the female lead as much. The interactions between Kumar and Kher were funny. Overall, a good movie. Very smart script and great performances. Will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Special 26, also known as Special Chabbis, is a 2013 Indian heist crime thriller film directed by Neeraj Pandey. It stars Akshay Kumar in the lead protagonist role with Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Jimmy Shergill and Divya Dutta in supporting roles. The film is inspired by the 1987 Opera House heist where a group posing as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers executed an income tax raid on the jeweler in Mumbai. Special 26 released on February 5, 2013 to widespread critical acclaim and was regarded as one of the best films of 2013. Now we move to social engagement. All campaigns are always around business objectives. We need to visit the popular website – www.IMDb.com and create an account. Choose any 5 popular movies. Write movie review of 3-4 lines for each movie. I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com. It not only suggests great movies to watch, it also tells where you can watch the movie online.. Highly recommended.

Neeraj Pandey has directed 3 movies as of 2015 and all of them have been thrillers. Special 26 is no exception and it is based on a real life robbery that took place in Opera House, Mumbai in 1987. A trademark of Neeraj Pandey's movies is the brilliant cinematography which makes the visuals exceptional. As the movie is set in 1987, the filmmakers have made a lot of effort to recreate that era and it can be seen in the production design. The movie tends to veer towards the direction of typical Bollywood movies but for the most part it is a taut thriller with solid acting performances. Manoj Bajpayee is the pick of the actors and he is authoritative as the CBI officer. My overall impression of the movie is positive and it is definitely recommended.
