In the movie, a secretive intelligence agency loses its prized weapon, The Heart, to a 22-year-old hacker Keya Dhawan (Alia Bhatt) with motives beyond money or power.

Others notice plot holes and poor writing, while Alia Bhatt’s confident acting is a highlight. Despite being likened to Mission Impossible, some claim it lacks the fun factor.
