One of the most riveting movies of our times, it seduces u to stay upright in a theater with the going ons on the screen, the built up of the reality , the confessions at the police stations, the trauma of the blast victims, the helplessness of the families of those involved ...ANURAG KASHYAP PLS STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW....ITS AN OSCAR MATERIAL ...I was stunned the very first time I saw it on screen some 3 years back and still after watching it for 5 times now again with the audience , , it is a class apart alright.
&; The cast is not not only capable of pulling of the extraordinary , , but to a point impeccable , , with KAY KAY MENON as RAKESH MARIA.., PAWAN MALHOTRA as TIGER MEMON , ADITYA SHRIVASTAV as BADSHAAH KHAN , and also VIJAY MAURYA as dreaded DAWOOD ., though his screen time is lesser then the others.but his frames and smoking rings are surely sending chills down your spine.., , the rest of the cast are as real life can be, , just the people u meet right at the nook and cranny of our city., the chase sequences , the torture , ARE ALL FOR REAL..SO MUCH THAT THE RED FILTERS REALLY CALM YOU IN THE MIND.The blast scenes and planning scenes are haunting and disturbing .
Technically it is a super product. cinematography by N natraja Subhramanyam, is hauntingly real and u feel the movie rather then just see it on screen, , Editing by ARTI BAJAJ could had been crisper.but does nt take anything away from the movie , MUSIC is capable of touching u SPECIALLY ARRE RUK JA RE BANDHE...by INDIAN OCEAN. Special FX of the blast scenes are worth watching again and again
BY FAR THE BEST MOVIE FOR THIS YEAR...WATCH IT ANYTIME AND BE MESMERISED
