But like you said, the movie doesn't demonize him nor sugarcoats the harsh realities. The film as well its title underlines how the world is not black and white. I give this movie 4.5/5 stars.Harichinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-58187810343365718652009-03-30T11:53:00.000-07:002009-03-30T11:53:00.000-07:00Ooh!

I felt that the first half was excellent - as you said all very understated, and the sudden violence when Mehmood kills someone is very well handled. Anil Kapoor was truly outstanding in his portrayal. And then I got into the second half and it all seemed to fall apart and slide into, for me, very disappointing and unrealisitc conclusion. So yay for the first half, but boo for the second half. It should have been so much better.red42https://www.blogger.com/profile/15490024089676042884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-20020377640209827272008-11-26T13:18:00.000-08:002008-11-26T13:18:00.000-08:00Eliza - I love finding hidden gems like this. I wo...Eliza - I love finding hidden gems like this. I would compare this to Omkara, Maqbool, Life in a Metro or similar whatnot - it's a very clean, sharp, intelligent commercial film. Also, I reckon it's a very easy intro for the Bollywood newbie.<BR/><BR/>Eliza2 - Ahaha! The nostril thing, ah yes. Now I feel like including close-up shots just to tease you about it. :)<BR/><BR/>Memsaab - Yeah! Goodness me, how old is she? I was a little shocked that she who played Naseer's niece in one film should now be playing (a gray sideburned!) Anil's wife in this. WTF? What else has she been in, btw?<BR/><BR/>Ajnabi - Anurag is amazing, I have to say. Apart from being fabulously good-looking (wheee!), his performance was quite profound and nuanced. I liked it a lot! Apparently Anil was all like, "Subhash, where'd you find this kid?" And the Anurag wiki says that Pune Film Institute place... so OK, not a huge discovery, that place generates a lot of great "arthouse" talent.<BR/><BR/>Filmi Girl - This film definitely got short-thrifted. It was barely a blip on my radar - just a couple lacklustre trailers - and yet it's such a nice little film!a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-77297366348961731952008-11-26T08:30:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:30:00.000-08:00I'm with Ajnabi re: Mr. Black.
