Another bollywood film copied from a foreign movie from Philipines, 15 October 2008
5/10
Author: souravdeb from India

This movie is almost a scene by scene copy from the Filipino movie Cavite released in 2005 and directed by Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon.

Check out this IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428303

Plot Summary for Cavite: Adam, a security guard, travels from California to the Philippines, his native land, for his father's funeral. He arrives in Manila. As he waits, a phone rings in his backpack; he answers it, and a male voice tells him that his mother and sister are captives and will be killed if Adam doesn't cooperate. Over the next hour, the voice sends Adam by bus, taxi, motorized tricycle, and on foot through an urban landscape of busy streets, cramped apartments, a fetid squatters' camp, a bank, a cockfighting arena, and a church. Adam's conversations with the voice cover murder, Islam, jihad, rebellion in Mindanao, and his family. What is it Adam will be commanded to do? Will he acquiesce?

Does this seem familiar? I had thought this was an honest and original effort on the makers of "Aamir"s part but alas they keep copying stuff.

Damn you guys.... Come up with something original.
