Madras Cafe (2013)
9/10
Plot is gripping
23 August 2013
Its a political/war movie and the story line is very strong.The first half feels a bit disconnected with short scenes. The movie is very fast and sometimes you lose the plot. Feels like they had a lot of content and wanted to fit everything in a two hour movie which was actually a good Idea. Length of the movie was just perfect.

The second half is extremely gripping and connects all lose ends. In the end everything connects very well and everything makes sense.

Acting wise John was OK. Nothing exceptional about him. None of the characters actually standout. There are some emotional scenes but none of them actually make you cry. Its hard to imagine John Abraham make you emotional purely on the basis of this acting.

To me the true winner over here was the story line which is extremely gripping and makes up for everything. In the end its a good watch and leaves you wondering about a lot of things. Personally I loved it.

Note: does not contain any Bollywood masala.
