If seen seeking comparisons with other movies of the same ilk ie dealing with the same issues---terrorism and unreasonable detention of Indians and Pakistanis in the wake of 9/11 attacks,the film might disappoint you.It is true the film doesnt highlight important aspects and shows all this in a very glamorous manner but this aspect of it can be overlooked.
THE BRIEF PLOT
The movie begins with Omar(Neil Mukesh).being arrested for possession of arms in his taxy. He is then detained by the FBI and is interrogated as to if he is a terrorist and what connections does he have with Sam(John Abraham who is an alleged JIHADI. Neil then starts to delve into the past.He starts to tell the investigation cop Roashan (Irrfan Khan) on repetaed prodding that he was a student of Delhi who came to New York university to complete his masters when in the unknown college environment Maya (Katrina Kaif) comforted him and introduced him to the attention seeker Sam(John Abraham).Slowly the friendship of the trio of John, Neil and Katrina reached new levels after blossoming in the college environment.Then he divulges that he fell in love with Katrina but he backtracked and went away after the college years as it broke his heart that Katrina liked John.On hearing this Irrfan Khan lets Neil go on the pretext that he will spy on John who is on a mission to devastate the country. What happens next is the continuation..............
Positive points
1.The film has entertainment in superficial amounts which is a captivating aspect.
2. For ladies or John Abraham fans rather, there is his torso that is on display again and again as he leaves no scene unturned err sorry no stone unturned to flex and flaunt his chiselled body. He acts also superbly.
3.Neil Nitin Mukesh is wonderful and is such a great talent that he affects and inadvertently coaxes Katrina Kaif to "act".
4. A part of the story is true.
5.The best feature of the movie is Irrfan Khan . One has to admit that amongst the current crop of actors he stands out in the "acting" front. He makes it looks os natural that the viewer is compelled to extol him. Flawless hysteria. He is or rather will be a legend of Bollywood era of today.
6.Director Kabir Khan's research work and in depth explanation of each event.
7.The action sequences in the movie are really appreciable.
8. Certain turn of events make the movie rapturous and adrenaline pumping.
The Negative points
Far and few between but nevertheless there are some:
1.Katrina still isnt upto the mark and her diction has gone from bad to worse only to jolt her millions of fans who think that with every movie her hindi is improving.Id like to state a sequence which is shown on tv also where in she is holding a gun and says in her heavily accented hindi "kaaaaoon ho tum?". instead of looking touching this scene looks laughable.
2.Certain scenes are dragged unnecessarily.
A GOOD MOVIE WHICH MUSNT BE MISSED AND CAN BE VIEWED WITH THE FAMILY ALSO. WATCH IT FOR THE COSTS THE DIRECTOR HAS PUT IN.
ILL GO WITH 3.5 ON 5 FOR THIS ACTION MOVIE. ALL PROTAGONISTS ARE SUPERB SPEARHEADED BY IRRFAN KHAN!!!!!
3. The music is not soothing.
