I went to see this movie without too many expectations...simply because I am not too fond of the "usual" Hindi cinema with its song and dance routine. But this movie (and its actors) was truly a revelation!! Right from the credits - excellent 70's style font and music - to the twists and turns, and right down to the complete inevitability of the ending - the movie was superbly executed.

Debutant Neil Mukesh makes an incredible entry into Bollywood. Not your typical brawny hero a la Hritik, he nevertheless has an incredible screen presence - and let's not forget - immense talent as well. His transition from innocence to coolness in the face of his recurring crimes is portrayed with a ease and assurance rarely seen in Bollywood. A talent to watch out for - let's hope he does not squander his gift in run of the mill movies.

The rest of the cast is apt for the movie - Dharmendra in a role worthy of his stature, Zakir Hussain and Vinay Pathak vie for honours too.

There are a few rough edges - Neil does tend to speak in a monotone at times, and Rimi Sen is truly irritating. But these are minor quibbles - the movie has such a powerful impact that you can safely overlook these!!
