3.0 out of 5 stars Good movie but a copy of a Hollywood flick, April 17, 2005

This review is from: Kaante (DVD)

I saw this movie when it came out on DVD, and I was very pleased at how this movie was made, and how different it is from other hindi movies. I thought the storyline was amazing. A few days later, I found out the movie is a direct copy of the English film Reservoir Dogs, and that pretty much all the scenes from Kaante were taken directly. When I heard about that, I was completely disappointed and bummed that the movie I was raving about was not as original as I had hoped.

Besides that, I think the movie was well made, and that all the actors did an amazing job, especially Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh Manjrekar. Kumar Gaurav, Lucky Ali and Sunil Shetty do an okay job, and are there to help complete the story. Amitabh Bachchan does his typical style, and as normal, pulls it off really well. Malaika Arora isn't even that hot either. I don't know why they picked her.

The movie was taped completely in Los Angeles, which allows people who live in America something to relate to, because the movie is so modern.

Besides the whole idea of them copying the concept from Hollywood, I think this movie is worth the money, because everyone does a good job, and its not your typical hindi movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a remake, but so what? Bollywood veterans go wild, November 24, 2005

This review is from: Kaante (DVD)

Yes, it's "Reservoir Dogs." Yes, it does lag at times. But seeing Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt, who've had long careers as Bollywood heroes, shredding the scenery as foul-mouthed criminals is terrific fun. (The subtitling in the theatre didn't do justice to some of the riper swearing, by the way.) If you aren't familiar with their careers (and with Sanjay's real-world legal problems, to which there is a sneaky and very funny reference), it's worth a few minutes to look them up.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best you can get from bollywood, March 18, 2003

Kaante is the biggest attempt ever to extract a piece of good and the most genuine thoughts ever presented in a bollywood movie. For all those persons who compares kaante with other Hollywood flicks didnt know the fact that the per capita income of India is less that 1 dollar per day and still we are able to produce such a big movie is appreciable. Kaante may be inspired from Quinton terrentino's original legendry movie reservoir dogs but not all movies are created equal.
The object details are high except some scenes which create confusion like a bunch of chaps standing on the roof of the building shooting some illegal weapons and nobody nearby is bothered is quite unnatural. The technicalities are upto the Hollywood standard and the super 35 mm film is cleverly used to shoot the scenes. The acting is superb by all actors especially by Mahesh manjeaker'Bali' he was excellent. The background score is excellent and the stunts are breathtaking out and out an excellent movie

and it is not a movie full of weeping ladies and strict father's conflict with sons and its doesn't feature a drunk lover who dies for a girl
