Editor Maahir Zaveri shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

★ 9/10
* Based on the true events wherein after a Police Encounter against dreaded Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists in Delhi's Batla House locality in Jamia Nagar in September 19, 2008, top cop Sanjeev Kumar is accused by a certain section of the media and activists that the encounter was fake. * This is a realistic depiction of events that took place. John Abraham shines throughout #batlahouse and Mrunal Thakur's pairing with him is more than perfect. It is real, complete with the emotions that people don't feel anymore.
