4.5 Excellent

Now this is how a thriller is made.

Simple plot: - On A Wednesday, a man calls up the police commissioner and threatens to blow up 5 bombs if 4 terrorists are not set free.

The best thing about Director Neeraj Pandey's maiden venture is that it moves really fast. It also does not try to force something unbelievable down your throat. No stupid comedy tracks, no songs, no item number, no romantic track and (just like Mumbai Meri Jaan) no over the top "DeshPrem". This movie, by its sensible storyline & believable characters, kicks some of the best Hollywood thrillers right in their balls.

Acting wise Jimmy Shergill, Amir Bashir, & Deepal Shaw lend apt support to the 2 mammoths occupying the screen.

Naseerudding Shah and Anupam Kher once again prove their status as 2 of the finest actors to grace Indian cinema.

Lets see...... They do not have fancy get-ups, loud hand gestures or body language & for 90% of the movie both of them are stuck to their respective locations.

But still...... Both of them manage to create phenomenal impact on the screen, using only their eyes and voice, truly brilliant.

And the ending.....Predictable...Unusual...Abrupt...whatever you say the climax is perfect.

Another aspect which should not be overlooked about this movie is, how quickly this movie was made. Looking at the sets & locations I am sure the whole thing would have been shot in less than 7 working days. That is precisely why this movie gives hope to a lot of aspiring film-makers that if they have a good and clear concept, they will find corporate sponsors and even reputed stars would not mind working in their films.

Spare only 90 minutes, please do not miss one of the fastest, shortest but the best movie of the year.
