Cast: Naseeruddin Shah,Randeep Hooda,Sharat Saxena,Vipin Sharma(Shinde),Shernaz Patel(Maria),Elena Kazan(Tabassum)
Director: Ahishor Solomon
Genre: Thriller

 

If you got low expectations and handful of patience, this aint a bad watch!

 

Pluses:

• Naseeruddin Shah goes without saying. I am glad, there are some such plots coming up in the Bollywood which doesnt always require a lead to be young and handsome. Just as the name of the movie suggests, this movie is dedicated to his role. A directors actor as he is, played well
• I personally liked the role of Sharat Saxena, a don in true sense. Loved the way first time when a bad man was getting executed
• Vipin Sharma was a good support, credited
• The take home of this movie is the end. A food for thought equivalent moral

 

Lukewarm:

• Randeep Hooda is good but nothing new! Same old flavor repeating face to face with different people. Thats all!
• The script was good, and has potential, but wish it was better
• Direction again, it wasnt bad, but could have been a lot better. I will blame it completely on the director for the lukewarm success of this flick
• Shernaz Patel didnt have much to play, otherwise she delivered well
• Elena Kazan, another Kangna Ranawat...ditto! I guess Kangna was too pricy for this role, and hence a replacement :D

 

 

Minuses:

• This movie is an average watch, it lacked the required punch that every thriller movie should have. Even with a heart rendering moral, it fails to make an impact
• The film drags at a lot of places, especially where there is Randeep Hooda in it. Absolutely unnecessary!

 

 

 

 

My rating: 2.5/5
