The expression "Whoah !" comes running to my mouth as I step out of the cinema hall having consumed Bollywood's answer to the popular gujarati play -- 'aandhlo paato'.
Racy, wild ... thrilling ... I think you're getting the picture !
Needless to say, the trump card held by Vipul Shah (director) is the intricate and intriguing plot of this "tighten-your-seat-belts" extravaganza !
Bravura performances by the infallible Big B, Akshay Kumar and the proficient Paresh Rawal ... a gripping pace ... an unusual story and technical finesse bring to you a product that is almost flawless !
There ... ! That's the catchword --- "ALMOST" ! Yes ... the beautiful visage of this film is marred by a few unsightly blemishes.
The sidey lovey-dovey twosome working in the bank grate on your nerves each time they make an unwanted appearance. And pray ... WHY oh WHY the name "Vilasrao Jefferson" for the bank that resembles a 5-star hotel lobby ?
Moreover, the sharp-as-nails and witty-as-can-be Paresh Rawal is shown putting his foot in his mouth over the silliest of issues and royally messing up the bank robbery. Without mincing words, there are times when you are tempted to whack him on his behind and warn him not to reduce the most dramatic sequence of the movie into a farce.
These minor moles and warts apart, the movie is a delight and a must-watch for every soul thirsty for innovation and creativity in Indian Cinema. I give this one an 8 on 10 !
