Neeraj Pandey's Special 26 is an amazing drama thriller film which challenge the classic genre movies to be the part of it.The main key points to watch this movie are: 1. Script: Brilliant and Intelligent script by Neeraj Pandey after A Wednesday is the key point of the movie.2. Direction: Again, Excellent and Perfect direction by Neeraj Pandey has made it watchable again and again and again..............................3. Acting: Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, jimmy sheirgill and Anupam Kher with a very large number of supporting casts has done it!!!!!! 4.Cinematography & Background score: Remember, It is a PERIOD film. so the role of Cinematographer is very important to feel the audience that it actually happens in 1987. And the Background score is another key point to the film which feels the thrill that what is going.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY HUMAN BEING AROUND THE WORLD

One of the most entertaining films ever and amongst those that I have recommended to every person who watches Bollywood films. It has got tremendous pace and there is never a dull moment throughout it. The most praise though should be reserved for its out of the world, mind-blowing, amazingly brilliant ending. It is amongst my all-time favourite films.A special mention has to be reserved for Manoj Bajpai. That guy is beyond words and has that amazing ability to make a film look like absolute reality just with his facial expression alone. Very under- rated sadly, but I can't think of a film in which his performance hasn't added to it. The way he stands there at the end and laughs and claps, I can't imagine anyone else being able to pull it off better than him. The reason behind myself typing out this review is different though. It is to explain the reason behind my rating of the film missing out on one whole star. It might not be big deal but it is for me given my history of being too generous and giving 10 out of 10 to many films. The reason here is the guy shown in it who stuttered throughout in his scenes. No, I am not against the role per se, what annoyed me instead was that it was approached in a way of fun. It gave the impression of his disability being mocked in the film. Maybe it's just me and that the film-maker might not have intended to show it that way, but I didn't like it to be honest.

Like all others I watched this cos of the director neeraj pandey's previous hit " a Wednesday" . and boy I was surprised ...not at neeraj's work which I feel is always good but akshay kumar after all his usual masala stuff has ultimately managed to pull out something serious .. really serious .In the two and half hour ride there are some high points and there are some not so high points , but the best thing about the movie is that it hits you right on back of your head when you are not ready for it .So , I recommend it as a very good one time watch.note:you may not like this movie if you are a fight loving or logic-ridden cinema goer.

Hollywood specializes in heist drama. Now bollywood explores this genre and does very well. Convincing screen-play, top notch performances, detailed production design, delicious dialogs and most importantly not overdoing anything. Anupam Kher plays a middle class man making money as fake CBI officer and does not stop surprising you with his versatility as an actor. Manoj Bajpayee gets another memorable role. Akshay Kumar restrains himself to the core. Kajal Aggarwal as his love interest is a not required addition to the movie. Divya Dutta gets few lines but all worth clapping. Movie did not require those songs either. But nevertheless A Wednesday fame director Neeraj Pandey entertains you in full in his second outing. He is one of the director to watch-out for in future. Special 26 is special in every positive sense.
