"कौन कहता है, आदमी अपनी किस्मत ख़ुद लीकता है?"
With such a Ram Gopal Verma worthy opening line, one can only expect the movie to be delivered with a punch and perfection. A racy thriller that'd keep you at the edge of your seat. Go get the beers and the chips!!!!
Aamir had hardly any semblence to an Aamir in its beginning stages. A not well-known director, hardly known newface (the wives might know him...he was yr stud in the soapies), no advertizing whatsoever and an uber low budget. U'd seriously think twice before even suggesting this movie out for a group outing.
Before the critics start their flaming lambo shit over here by citing the ever so ubiquitous connection with Cavite, lemme assure you that the produces of said Pinoy film have seen Aamir and given it a clean billing, saying that there is no relations whatsoever with their film Cavite. Sounds hard to believe I know, but hey, what the fuck is the big deal if some random dude sitting in India happens to tap into the frequency of some Pinoy monk in deep thought and stumbles upon the same idea at the time?! Big feckin' deal!!
To be save and retain that element of suspense and NOT give away the plot, I shall minimize what I'm saying here about the movie. Its the more 'Phonebook' styled psychological thriller, taking place over a few hours, a helpless situation basically with several philosophical and moral backgrounds to it. It leads us to think certainly. In addition to newface Rajeev Khandelwal, Anurag Kashyap has showed us another protagonist, always featured everywhere in Bollywood but never utilized well. And thats the city of Mumbai. Filmed in the most squalid locales in Mumbai, amidst the filth and stench, and showcasing the obvious discomfort of फिरांगी doctor forced into these places. We can feel the emotions he is going through during the course of the film. That was a stellar output by our director AK here.
The ending will shock you. Be certain to expect twists you never thought u'd expect.
*peace*
