So many people had been praising this movie, giving ratings of 9/10. So I had to see it. I knew nothing about it, only that it was only 90 minutes long. Sounded good to me, so I watched it.
It stars a newcomer, Rajeev something. Apparently he’s a TV guy. It’s also the director’s debut. Don’t remember his name at the moment, too lazy to look it up. It starts out with a bunch of shots of the city (not sure which city, but someplace in India), then we see our main guy on a plane, returning from London I think.
He gets hassled going through customs, because of his name. He asks “If my name was Amar, would you give me this much trouble?”. Then, he gets a cell phone thrown into his hands outside the airport, and the story takes off from there. I won’t go into it, or things will get very spoilery.
Hard to believe, but it’s a very slow moving story, even though it’s only 90 minutes long. I guess they couldn’t have gone much faster, or it would have finished in an hour. I had a few problems with the shots too, they spent a lot of time showing a meat market, which got a bit monotnous after a while.
I also didn’t like the fact that the villain was actually shown, and given a face. I’d rather he just be a voice, only being able to hear him through the cell phone. Or even seen, but not his face. I feel it would have made things more real.
Overall, it’s a movie with a powerful message, and definitely worth a watch. It’s hard to tell that this is a debut director working with a debut actor.

Hola, Reema!
I have this film in my pile to watch–I have a strong suspicion I was conned into buying a bad pirate, which worries me because the subtitles could be really shoddy. But it definitely looks like something worth a spin…especially with it only being 90 mins long! It also seems like something fresh and different to come out of Bollywood. Can’t wait!
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this one and its been on my to-watch list – just have to find it first!
This is on my next to watch list.
