I was apprehensive about the movie before i watched it. The reason was that movies on similar themes have been made in Hollywood regarding the 9/11 incident. Thankfully my apprehension proved to be wrong and the movie turned out to be really good. Right from the first scene the movie has a grip on the audience which it doesn't relinquish till the end. The stars of the movie for me were Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irfan Khan. Neil Nitin Mukesh looks extremely cute. One of my friend commented that he is like a "Tubelight" because of his fair complexion and a person would have to wear sunglasses to look at him, rightly said. Neil looks natural in the role, the confusion, the conviction... all the mixed emotions are expressed well by him. Irrfan Khan's acting prowess needs no introduction and he does it again by doing justice to a role of cop. Irrfan contributes to the funny moments with his well delivered witty one liners. His scenes with Neil are good which adds intensity to the movie. The first half belongs to Neil and in the second half John takes over. John has also given a really good performance. Katrina gives her best in whatever she was given.
The direction is good overall. From a new director an extremely mature treatment of such a sensitive subject is a pleasant surprise. Still there were few scenes that could have been avoided, the screenplay lets you down at some occasions, sometimes the sequencing of scenes could have been better, but such occasions are not many. Its a well-paced movie right from the first scene. After the so many flop movies by Yash Raj camp comes a movie that is sure to satisfy the audience. Well done Kabir Khan, the director for doing justice to a complex script and well done to all the star cast for pulling up such good performances. This movie will surely be a success.

JOHN ROCKKKSSSS......!!!!
Some kind words there "Manali D gr8", the only thing which i felt was that the review i have written is too short...the reason for this is because i don't want to divulge anything about the story of the movie as it reduces the "surprise factor"....still you thought that was a perfect review, thank you so much for the comment, but i still suspect some sort of bias in this because of presence of John ;)
ReplyDeleteRightly analyzed!!! the movie has all the material to be acclaimed a hit.... the casting was almost perfect,except that john could have been replaced by hrithik, rest niel, irfan and katrina look perfect in their roles.... the movie was made on such a sensetive topic but was rightly handled to give it a perfect look..... the direction was good and the movie had a real pace which hindi movies normally lack....the songs in the movie didn't at all hamper the pace of the movie and instead add value to the story... so it was good to see that the songs were not stuffed and rightly used to move the story ahead..... Irfan as usual steals the show, no doubt he is a brilliant actor....over all the movie can be said as must watch.....a real entertainer!!!!!!!!
