    If the trailer is an accurate reflection of the films tone and content its probably a grave insult to the subject and everyone else involved in his real life.

    I couldn't agree more, considering everything that's been said about Uday, whether it's propaganda or not, I think it's just better to let the butcher be forgotten about, rather than glorified on film.

    Agreed, I don't think that animal deserves a Scarface treatment or a stylish, sleek movie like this.

    So what's it like? How is he portrayed? Does he come across as the maniac butcher we've been told he is, or a jack the lad living one day to the next?

    Uday himself comes across as a sociopath who'd have been locked up in a home for the criminally insane if it weren't for daddy. The lookalike is the usual tormented conscience stereotype. Not a bad flick though.
