Bollywood's finally coming of age... There are a number of films in the past few months which are worth mentioning about... The age of running around trees has given way to some serious film making...As always drastic changes are brought about by newbies-all the directors of are fresh...
Lets talk about the film at hand....a thought provoking one graced by arguably two of the best actors of Bollywood-Nasiruddin Shah and Anupam Kher.... its flawless...and it has the RDB (Rang De Basanti) effect. Be it the background music..editing...dialogues...camera angles....But I am moved by the topic of the film...
In recent times, the world has been rocked by terrorism..whats the purpose????? Is anybody clear about them???? Doesnt each religion preach kindness to fellow beings!!!!! We are but a tiny speck in the fathomless universe yet we fight among ourselves on petty reasons....The massive human population is but a sack of sweetpeas that can crushed by a small astronomical force...Nonetheless we waste our time fighting among ourselves and these fights are aggrevated by vested interests and brainwashed fanatics.....Are all those so called terrorists really proud of having killed so many innocent people in the last decade??? People so benevolent that they dont even raise their voice even after their life is shattered???? Religion is but a way of knowing oneself. Everyone can have his/her own way.. Seen one way there is just one God, in a different angle there are plenty...because there is a God in each one of us and by prayers its that God we want to arouse, that God we wish to, that God we confess to...
The adjusting common man swallows all pain with a pinch of salt. Its very difficult to incite him to war..but yes when he rises, mayhem will follow...And we can see everywhere around us that the temperature of the 'proles' is rising.....They get irritated quickly..the anger is often vent out by burning buses, trains or lynching petty criminals....But that day is not far away when the "cockroaches" who pollute the society will be guillotined..Watch out!!!!
Overall 8/10
Acting 8.5/10
Direction 8.5/10

It was a ok movie but u've overrated ... cmmon 8.5 for acting and direction? wasn't that great ;-)
Well I thought Nasir was mindblowing and the direction was good because the editing was superb... the way teh speed of movement was adjusted according to situations was too good.. also matching background music with the scenes.. I cuoldnt find one flaw with the movie...not even a logical flaw...and above all it delivers a strong message...the script is original ... what more do you want of a new director!!!!!!!
I haven't watched the film as of yet, but after reading this, I am feeling the urge to see it. This critique has somewhat aroused a curiosity in me... Perhaps I had better seen the movie...........
Wonderful review..i agree totally..its high time people come up wid sensible movies n flicks like RDB n A wednesday are definitely a step in dt direction..
Agreed, it's a good movie but 8.5 is too much. No questions about acting. The pace of the movie would keep you seated but thinking back isn't the story at the other extreme of "running around the trees"? Do you really think that could ever happen? If not, then it's in a way not too different from Jaane Tu... You might have romantic movies, but at least rate them fare!
I loved the movie. It is as you say "coming of age" for Hindi cinema. Rock on, Mumbai Meri Jaan, A Wednesday, Aamir, Shaurya - they mean good news for the serious movie buff!
@ sourav..I think this movie was totally realistic..even details of how he got the bomb recipes were blurted out....but more than that...this movie serves purpose..it literally is a reply back on the atrocities..and yes a concept like this I have never seen before.. inform me ppl if there is any movie with a similar theme. and yes ratings may vary from person to person...I thought it deserved an 8.5 for the courage
