can't really agree with anything less than 4 in any department...character actors 2.5??..dialogue 2???!!!

This is "watch on DVD" only for those who aren't bestowed with intelligence ( after watching it 5-6 times they might actually understand ), for rest it is "Must watch-on big screen".

How did the Bangla brother's find out where the rest of the cast of the film were engaged in a war?

They could not reach Mikhail on his cell.
They go to Charlie's house, meet Bhope Bhau's goons there with Mikhail's dead body(who do you think kill them at Charlie's house?), and find out about Mikhail's killer. Then to avenge the murder they go to Bhope Bhau's place.

Now I know, why did you not like the movie that much :)

i wonder how could a person who started with makdee, maqbool, omkara and one of my favourite blue umbrella can ever direct such a bakwas movie.

im sorry if it hurts anybody or everybody but this is not what i have expected from vishal. except few limited shots i didnt enjoy the movie.

opening was good but as it progressed things started to get poor and endng was worst.

today after anurag kashyap i only see vishal as a DIRECTOR in bollywood.....and such work from them can not be accepted.

@Ramen Oh come on! Dialogues were as lame as power is power! and some of the lamest possible. The supporting cast was one caricature after another, reminded me too much of the Guru in Sarkar - basically annoying. We differ in opinions. It's alright I guess.

@Annkur I absolutely agree that there are people who like plain entertainment. I want something more out of my films which might as well have been the germ for wogma. Doesn't mean it alienates anyone, if from my review you find you'll like what I didn't like, the decision is made for you. Enjoy the film! :)

@Mayur @Saurabh Knew someone would compare Love Aaj Kal ratings with this one and give me the pleasure of saying, "not comparable films, different genres, different aims."

@BA damn! I had a better interpretation of who killed Bhope's goons! Damn, this is spoilt for me, but it does explain how they reached Bhope's place given that every goon knows every other goons henchmen and addresses.

@Abhinav There you go! I didn't hate Kaminey though. It was alright. A visual pleasure.

@B.H.Harsh Finally! A comment that says exactly what reviews are all about. Its a perception. You like the perception, do what the film recommends. If you don't like it do the opposite. Simple!

@ Anoop Exactly!!

third grade movie

Fully agree with your review. Whilst a brilliantly 'made' movie, the story lacked depth, with the relationships and events to superficial for me to be able to form a genuine relationship with. Everything is explained on the surface, and we are quickly on to the next scene/topic. There is not enough time for us to digest the real impact and feelings of each event/character. The writers need to take another look.

I think it's a must watch if you like movies with style. I liked it. Will probably watch it again. It's a feel good movie. Definitely has a Quentin Tarantino touch to it.

This reminds me of Boom (2003) which I absolutely loved back then even though I was only 13 at the time and it was a flop. It's in the same genre (bollywood noir?) as Dev D, Dil dosti etc (although the latter focuses more on characters) & Kaminey all of which have been box office successes. The decade of liberalized economy, media and internet seems to be kicking in! Hopefully we'll get to see some gory movies or at least psychological thrillers in the coming years.

I guess it all boils down to taste; some of us prefer witty & cynical one liners, badass cars & guns, stylish cinematography, diamonds, cocaine, guns etc more than a socially responsible (not necessarily un-engaging) movie.

I would say this is a brilliant movie technically, a lot of things for people who really enjoy the movie through a "movie makers'" eyes.

Just watched it again. Observed a couple of things. Was it a coincidence that :
• Tashi & BHope Bhau wife’s name are anagrams.
• The no. on moped on which Guddu comes for his wedding and the no. of police vehicle on which he is taken to jail are complementary numbers.
• All characters and side characters are named such that Charlie can’t pronounce their full name correctly.
• The auditorium at which Guddu is getting married is hexadecimal representation of room no. In which Charlie goes to meet Fransis, at the same time.
• Both Guddu and Charlie’s friends are shown with coke. One with the famous beverage , the other with the drug.
• The theme song “ Go Charlie” comes twice in the movie. Once there is some birthday party in background and in the other instance he bumps into a wedding procession and both times he is running for his life. Irony !!
• The word ‘matlab’ is repeated by both Guddu & Charlie at different times in the movie for exactly opposite effect.
• Pun with words like Tope ( Gun & Title ) and Bhau- Bow
• Lyrics of the song phatak use the word Safe ( saif ) and that of Kameeney uses kareene ( Kareena )
…Or all of it was meant for intelligent audience to figure out.

Why is it that whenever Indians disagree with smeone else's point of view, they make it a point to attack that person's character -- either by saying 'stupid', 'low IQ' etc or much worse! Why can't we agree that everyone has a right to have an independent viewpoint? How hard is that?
