Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

So nice movie. love u akshay sir for this movie. very superb story

This is really excellent movie done acting by Akshay. His role is CBI officer and acted brilliant in the act. He is not an original CBI officer , he was the thief in the same movie.Special 26, also known as Special Chabbis, is a 2013 Indian thriller heist film directed by Neeraj Pandey. It stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role with Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Jimmy Shergill and Divya Dutta in supporting roles. The film is inspired by the 1987 Opera House heist where a group posing as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers executed an income tax raid on the jeweler in Mumbai. Special 26 released on February 5, 2013 to widespread critical acclaim and was regarded as one of the best films of 2013

This movie is one of the classics by neeraj pandey.. There are lots of goofs caught in the movie. One particular was that while checking the security, Manoj Bajpaye ask constable to check the cctv camera working or not in last robbery scene at Tribhovan jewllers. But at era of 1987 cctv was not discovered yet.. :) Yet this was much exciting and edge of the seat thriller movie by Neeraj Pandey and all actors are superb.. Complete entertainer. And the main part of story is that the person on whose life this stroy is based is still not caught by police. He is mohan lal and he made the robbery as per last scene in real at opera house Mumbai with help of 26 CBI candidates. Which were recruited by himself with fake interview. Even these candidate didn't know that they have been fooled and unknowingly help this man in robbery.. Hatsoff to this brain

This movie could have been a lot better. It supposedly based on a true story, and had potential to be a unique, gritty and thoroughly enjoyable thriller. However, the movie is bogged down in unnecessary romantic angle,silly cons and no character development. This con movie has songs, dances, silly jokes all it is missing is smart characters that are required to carry out such cons and their interesting lives. The movie spend very little time on 3 out of 4 con-men, so we have very little window in their lives or back story about their initiation into such high risk business. Most of the con seems too easy and exaggerated. It is sad commentary on Hindi cinema where such mediocre movie is considered - unique, epic, grand and exciting.
