While the film garnered mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, audiences have largely applauded its high-octane action sequences and the powerful performances by both Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda.
The action-drama Sunny Deol’s first on-screen partnership with Randeep Hooda. The film hit theaters on April 10.
Speaking about the film, Sunny Deol had earlier said, “This journey of this film had begun during Gadar 2. We all were very excited about it, we were about to start a beautiful film, and after following many directors, Gopi agreed to do the film. We met in Goa, and he said he would direct the film and had another story to narrate. He narrated to me the story of “Sorry Bol” (laughs). And with ‘sorry, sorry, sorry,’ he pulled me into the entire film and story, and this is how we made ‘Jaat.’
