Based on a book written on the 93’ Bombay bomb blasts and directed by Anurag Kashyap, this movie was marred by controversies before it was finally released in 2007. And after watching this movie, you will be left with just two words for it…..Bloddy Awesome.
Rarely does a movie that is completely based on true events, entertains you like a thriller. Throwing caution to winds, the director uses backward way of storytelling and starts from the investigations after the blasts have taken place. He opens his cards one by one instead of spoon feeding the audience. Dividing the story in chapters just like the original book had done adds to the excitement. The acting of all the actors (and there are a lot of them) is pitch perfect so much so that you feel they must be actually the people who have been a part of that bomb blast. But not giving a special mention to the person who played the badass tiger memon, would be doing complete injustice to him. Pawan Malhotra, probably the most underrated actor who still hasn’t got the roles (except this one) of which he is capable of. I still wonder why he didn’t get any award for his exceptional performance in a negative role. Ditto for kaykay ,another exceptionally gifted actor. But, such are the drearies of life…Hope the next time such an ensemble of actors come together the national awards or atleast our popular bolly awards take notice….
