The 2016 film is a high-octane buddy cop action-comedy that serves as a modern tribute to the classic "mismatched partners" trope of the 1970s and 80s. Directed by Rohit Dhawan , the movie leans heavily on the chemistry between its leads— John Abraham and Varun Dhawan —to deliver a fast-paced entertainer set against the vibrant backdrop of the Middle East. Plot and Premise
The story is set 48 hours before a major India-Pakistan cricket final in the United Arab Emirates. India’s star batsman, (played by Saqib Saleem), is kidnapped by a mysterious bookie named Wagah ( Akshaye Khanna ). To solve the case before the match begins, the Indian government sends a "no-nonsense" Special Task Force officer, Kabir Shergill (Abraham), who is forced to team up with a local rookie cop, Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan).
