Knock out

Sanjay Dutt, Irrfan Khan Dir: Mani Shankar
wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: Never has the background music been so loud that I wanted to run out of the theater because my ears could take it no more. Had I been able to get over that, I might've enjoyed the film for what it was trying to say. Even so, how it said the message and the baggage of righteousness it carried would have been a hindrance.

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

Tony (Irrfan Khan) is an investment banker with more suspect investing practices and clients than one can imagine. He's trapped in a phone booth by an unknown person. No one knows why.

What Worked

  • The fact that we didn't know what the real deal with the character, Bharati was?
  • The fact that the story clearly shows that Tony was the most vulnerable person in this chain of corruption and thus chosen.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • Tony's gullible wife.
  • Tight close-ups.
  • The whole deal about Tony being accused of the murder who was facing Tony but was shot from the back!
  • Sanjay Dutt's poetry!

Nitty-Gritty

This section lists things that I think are not important to the overall impact of the movie. In most cases, it could be explained away by something like, "we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule/budget issues and thus we could not re-shoot it". I like giving the makers the benefit of doubt, but I am amused nevertheless. Hopefully, they will tickle you too.

  • Why were there newspapers in a phone booth!?

A pretty decent thriller, managed to surprise me,but it goes quite well, even with all the "holes" in the story!!!! And pretty decent message too, quite entertaining and moves fast enough to prevent you from getting bored!

So it is not a blatant rip off of Phone Booth?

thrillerfan:

@Rahul, yes it is a rip off, and the producers had to shell out 1.5 crores to the Hollywood company, I think.
Well, the rip off is obvious, so I did not factor that in, all I am saying is that if you see with "new" eyes, it is fairly enjoyable!!! It moves fast, has no songs, and the basic message is "feel good"!
