A blend of everything: John Wick, childhood trauma, uncontrolled action.
You know what is coming when the movie starts off in the desert. And within 3 minutes the body count has gone to 50.

Story? Nagarjuna. The invincible. Called Ghost, in case there was any doubt.
Ok but story? Nagarjuna. Body count in thousands.
Ok seriously, story? Sigh. Ok.
Haunted by childhood trauma of Hindu - Muslim riots. Taken under his wing by an Army officer. Has an older sister called Anu (Gul Panag), who becomes estranged from their father due to his objection to her marrying an older divorced man.
Becomes an Interpol officer who deals in blood spill as if it was water. After a child rescue attempt ends in the child's death at the kidnapper's hand, goes rogue. Drifts away from partner / lover (Sonal Chauhan). Chops off gangsters and then vanishes.
Until big sister calls him since she is in mortal danger. Reforms spoilt niece, puts holes (big and small) in everyone, and rescues the day. Never even coming close to dying.
Action sequences are slickly directed. There's some decent sword play, and other stunts.
But the rest of the film left logic at the door right at the beginning. When the child is shot, the "first aid" that Nagarjuna applies is a big pad of cotton. I'm not kidding. This is the level at which the rest of the story operates.
I am a Nagarjuna fan (ever since "Shiva" in Hindi, back when Ram Gopal Verma could direct). So I watched it for him, and didn't mind the missing storyline. If you are a Nagarjuna fan, you will not be disappointed.
Others, there's pretty much nothing for you. Please watch John Wick instead.
