Refreshingly different

[duldul007 · 8/10 · 7 June 2006]

I had almost stopped watching Hindi movies for quite some time.The usual song & dance routine and the clichéd SRK/Karan Johar rona-dhona was getting monotonous.I am always on the lookout for offbeat movies with strong story lines.I wasn't expecting much from this lowbudget IndoAmerican move.But was pleasant surprised when I actually saw the movie.

Its not the usual love triangle crap dished out by Bollywood.The movie starts with a bet among a few friends.And they unknowingly get trapped among murderers.The acting is surprising good for an amateur starcast.My pick among the actors would be Amit(played by Gaurav Rawal) and Toad (played by Thomas Daniel).

This movie isn't the next Sholay.But it definitely provides your money's worth of entertainment.So if you like the stereotype Bollywood love triangles with hero-heroines dancing between trees don't watch this movie.If you want to see a unique movie with a gripping script don't miss this one! Cons:Not your usual Bollywood movie Pros:Again ,not your usual Bollywood movie

Marvellous

Excellent Independent effort. One to remember and to be watched more than once for all subtleties to be explored and explained. Wonderful experience. I wish we really made movies with strong scripts and sense. This one definitely classifies as one. A lot of crap is floating around these days. One has to be really selective in watching what they screen. Its an effort but nevertheless a worthy one. Hollywood does produce so many brilliant independent films while Bollywood still sticks to typical formula slots. Why? I fail to understand this and will always will. I salute the crew for taking efforts towards making good different cinema and that too successfully. Ninad
