I think that this title would go down well for this movie as by indian movie standards taking interval into account is only one and hours long and it also shows that there is a dark and poverished mumbai
Underbelly in its dingy lanes and slums which most of the middle class people would be unaware about and would not dare to venture into that area.the film has a good storyline, strong screenplay, excellent camerawork, strong direction backed by good acting by its two pricipled characters.the films biggest pace is its frenetic pace and the real locations of mumbai which have been blended well into the story.i would have given the film 4 stars but I have just come to know that it is not original and has been copied from a fillipino flick anyway go enjoy the film as it is not only intelligent but it also marks the arrival of rajeev khandelwal as a film actor
story
The film story is of dr aamir(rajeev) a young muslim doctor who returns to mumbai after a long time and is eager to meet his family but to his utter shock he is discriminated upon right upon his arrival in mumbai as his luggage is checked thrice without any reason but his life takes a bigger turn for the worse whewn he comes out of the airport as he comes to know that his family has been kidnapped, his luggage stolen and hence to meet his family he has to caary out various tasks assigned to him by a religious fanatic over a cellphone.this film shows how organised this rerrorist are and how innocents are dragged into terrorism unwittingly although I feel that the situation shown in the film may be unlikely but it still looks believable so go enjoy the film
best parts
1-the scene where he is thrown the cellphone for the first time
2-the exchange of bags scene
3-the climax scene
4-the scene where aamir vomits after watching the squalor
mistake
how does he lands at bandra terminus after dropping the taxi at dongri
the blood and big cuts he received in the fight vanish in the next scene
performance
aamir-rajeev khandelwal is good and believable as aamir and shows he has acting potential
fanatic-gajra rao is excellent as the fanatic and looks menacing
