The film boasts of superlative acting by the entire cast. The action is almost continuous, what with bullets flying from the first frame to the last. Cinematography by Anuj Rakesh Dhawan has captured the haunting beauty of the place effectively.

The harsh, unrelenting landscape mirrors the hard life of its denizens. It's shot in location and Chambal becomes a character of sorts in the film. He adds that people doing so know nothing of the actual hardships faced by dacoits. A character points out that the outlaws are unnecessarily glamourised. The film also tries to deglam the life of dacoits. The film is a morality tale at one level, telling you that Karma is going to catch up with you no matter what. The film's dialogue are in Bundelkhandi dialect, which might be hard to follow for some, though English subtitles have been provided. They are wary of other castes and even form gangs based on caste. He has thrown in the fact that even dacoits follow caste lines. They are shown to be men of high conscience who will do their utmost to hold onto the promise once given, who never harm women and children, and are staunch worshippers of the Goddess. However, director Abhishek Chaubey, who has co-written the film along with Sudip Sharma, has done his bit to build into the myth of the dacoits. While the film continues Bollywood's romance with daakus, the treatment is relatively fresh and more realistic. Nothing is what it seems and various interpretations of truth come tumbling out as the narrative goes back and forth in time. Their lives take a turn when they help a woman (Bhumi Pednekar), who had stumbled into Chambal carrying a sick girl. Virender Gujjar (Ashutosh Rana), a policeman has a personal vendetta against them and has vowed to kill them come hell or high water.

Lakhna (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Vakil (Ranvir Shorey) are his trusted lieutenants. Their rebellion exists at an existential level, as more often than not they are men running away from themselves, from their circumstances. Maan Singh (Manoj Bajpayee), is the leader of a merry band of dacoits, only they call themselves baaghi (rebel). Set in the РІР‚в„ў70s during the Emergency era, Sonchiriya is a story based in Chambal, which has long been the favourite playing field of directors wanting to channel their inner Sergio Leone and whip up a hardcore Western.
