There are about 2 Lakh policemen in Mumbai. Tasked with the safety of this enormous city, a majority of them don't necessarily have the "cleanest" of vardis. When four such police inspectors are burnt alive in a series of merciless killings, the entire police force is rocked with terror. The media is looking for answers. The public is on the fence over these killings. These crimes reflect Vir as a person. Bold, Calculating, and Unapologetic. He's not scared of killing, or dying. It was clear that he had an agenda. A reason. A drive; behind these deaths and he was far from done. Fearing the next attack, the Commissioner calls upon their best bet to catch Vir. DCP Shivansh is what a proper policeman looks like. Strong, Courageous, Patriotic and most importantly, "Clean." And of course, he's the best at what he does. What follows is a succession of events that will test his Probity to the fullest. He is up against Vir, who is a vigilante and will stop at nothing to complete his mission. This confrontation of epic proportions will take us through the corrupt underbelly of the Financial Capital. Vir and Shivansh are against the same enemy, but they are divided by a fine line. The Law. Shivansh is the "good-guy" protector of the law, whereas Vir wants to take matters into his own hands, disregarding the law. Were these meticulously planned murders just vengeance killings? Or was there order in this chaos? There's a lot at stake. Along with the lives of numerous policemen, the public's faith in the police's capability to keep them safe is also at stake. Will Vir be successful in concluding his twisted message? Or will Shivansh's Integrity and Ethicality become his biggest strength and Vir's biggest weakness?

| Scroll.inNandini RamnathA massive misfire in a movie that is needlessly stretched to 141 minutes and comes to life only when death is being served. |
| FilmfareDevesh SharmaThis masala potboiler is strictly for John Abraham and hardcore action fans. The film's title made it sound patriotic but the patriotism gets overshadowed by high melodrama and mindless action. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarBajpayee hams it up like there is no tomorrow, snarling and screaming all the time, in keeping with the tone of the film. |
| Film Companion ReviewsSucharita TyagiHow they didn't get bored making this, I don't know. |
| Film Companion ReviewsAnupama ChopraSatyameva Jayate is the sort of film that bludgeons you and leaves you drained and entirely cheerless. |
| Hindustan TimesRohan NaaharSatyameva Jayate is near-unwatchable. It is a torturous experience; a deeply irresponsible, phony and tone-deaf waste of time, a shameful low for everyone involved. |
| Film Companion ReviewsRahul DesaiI couldn't really believe that legitimate human beings are given millions of rupees to execute these ideas. |
| User ReviewYogesh KOne of the best movies I have watched in recent times...the thrill just never leaves you and few unexpected plot twists makes the film even better. It is a must watch film and please do watch it....you'll feel great. |
