Zinda .. bolly wood comes to lifes... this week saw its highs and low in one corner is Family (aaaargh) and the other end of the ring the champ of this month Zindaaaaa!!! Read on ...
Now I really dont know where to start from ...
Sanjay Dutt ? johan abraham ? Sanjay F Gupta >? I mean all of em really kicked some a$$ real hard !!!
this one atleast to my choice of films is definately a 10 out of 10!
okay now to start from the top ...
the cast justified the stroy line sucessfully. No nonsense just the right balance !
i wouldnt like to give u details of the plot so that u can enjoy it to the fullest. will just talk about the attributes of the film in various degrees of appreciation!
Sanjay dutt is really outperformed himself .. I think one of his best roles and acting in his career !
John Abraham .. again really rocking .. worked out his acting digs very welll... of course I thought he would just be another glam star with a really short shelf life..plays his character very well in this film...
the chiks in this film are doing the regular drill hanging around the main guys .. glamour additions...
okay now bout the tech attributes of the film...
Story : I dont know if it is an original script .. but descent enough .i think this film is a rehash of a korean film oldboy ... so I dont think the story is orignal
Screenplay: Excellent again ... no flaw no slag no jitters totally tight
Dialouges: good enough to keep the story in place and keeping the actors in the characters
Direction: simply brilliant , I havent seen other films of mr sanjay gupta but for sure this one rocks.
Action : is one of the best hindi films action whether inspired or not it is really solid and I really enjoyed the whole ride ....it is the over the top kill bill kind of fight sequences but still has a sense of its own style
Background score : agian Sanjoy Chaudhry has done a stupendous job ! oustanding score sanjay
Music : is good used descently in the film ... but I think this a kind of film which does not require songs at all.
Effects : the sound design is really nice resul pokutty.. some hard hitting stuff
Mix : this is the only section I had aproblem with .. sound effects (ambient)were superloud .. superirritating ...
please kill the fx when not required I know u all work hard for it but then u dont need to flaunt em !rest was very good the dialougues were very clear
Graphics.: not overdecked at all... very descent
Cinematograpy: Rockin rollin !!!! I loved it .. liked the Grainy black and red oriental style shots.. use of fisheye lens and dynamics of all the shots... really picture perfect
Sanjay gupta .. u just earned urself a fan
The verdict
this film is one of its kind I recommend cinema lovers who like to see films with an edge .. non bollywood in the rut kinds .. GO FOR IT
u will simply love the whole deal ....
Sanjay Dutt Sanjay gupta Mahesh manjrekar the chiks The action the camera too many reasons to spend that 130 per head !!!
if u like sanjay dutt for other reasons.. u just might hate him ..Cuz his styling is really unlike sanjay dutt in this film
so is john... very unlike dhoom... more suave, composed and no more Teda smiles(maybe I missed a few)
Some people may really not like the way this film ends.. but then there only three kinds of ending
1 tragic
2 comic
3none of the above...
so relax ... if u think u could come up with a better ending.. u better not go in the first place..
dont expect this to be a mind blowing event of u r life but if u want to entertain urself with a thriller ... go for this .. all thums up !!!
