a wednesday


Disgruntled common cleans up the “cockroaches” of international terror and in the process hopes to give us all oppressed everyday people a hero who comes from us. All very well, but done before with a little more style and less political correctness in ‘dombivili fast’. I was put off then by the common man vigilante and was this time too. But I would have forgiven all if the film was better made. It had all the trappings of a good film but somehow the parts did not come together well. The acting was good, The aerial shots of the mill lands from where our terrorist has his high tech center of operations were spectacular. But the perpetual crane and track shots, The sound design that came with ominous whooshes and sudden thuds punctuating the action reduced the film to a Bombay version of a Hollywood action thriller with none of the adrenalin rush. Die hard badly done. With a moral at the end.
