Trivia:

The film had two endings; the makers felt the Indian audience will not fathom Amitabh Bachchan's character not getting justice. Hence the ending for the Indian audience had Amitabh repenting and being locked away by the police, the moralistic ending. The overseas ending shows Amitabh bribing the police and on the loose chasing Akshay Kumar and Arjun Rampal.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Vijay Rajput no doubt has some sort of psychological problem, but it is definitely not schizophrenia.

don't care if it's impossible cuz this is a movie oh yes an excellent bollywood movie

this is a MIND-BLOWING BOLLYWOOD cinema. i am pretty darn sure that Hollywood will remake this movie. but from what i've seen i can say that this is an excellent work from bollywood .no regrets here.bollywood did a mindblowing job.i am really happy for bollywood. and thanks for bollywood for making this movie totally masaladar(i mean Indian with songs..etc) .

THANKS to bollywood they dint think of making this movie a kind of Hollywood cinema.thank for staying original. well many people think bollywood should make movies like Hollywood. i am one of those who strongly is against this concept. cuz by doing this Indian cinema would be loosing t's originality. and bollywood would no longer remain bollywood.

well stop regretting that this story dint get in the hand of Hollywood first cuz blywood does a MIND-BLOWINGLY EXCELLENT job here.

well whats amazing is that HOW DID BOLLYWOOD come up with such an interesting new never been seen tale? 3 BLIND MEN TO ROB A BANK...............are you joking....................well that's the story here and look at how well bollywood presents it.with bollywood's best BIG B. he is outstanding in this role. he really spooked me .this is one of his most scariest role i think. the supporting cast Akshy,Arjun,Paresh and yet another miss universe Sushmita also fit in a great supporting cast. especially Paresh Rawal he's excellent.he really has the charm and charisma of turning from comical to emotional.

this is one of the best bollywood movie i have ever seen. EXCELLENT BRAVO SUPERB. well i enjoyed every single second of this flick.well really entertaining from Paresh Rawals jokes to the really great dance numbers "chalka chalka" and "gustakhiya" well everyone in the hall was singing along(some were even dancing).

all in all a great gripping story great movie excellent performance that turns it into one of the best bollywood movies even without being a love story(well love stories that is what bollywood is renowned for isn't it)

truly a great cinema with a totally gripping plot. recommended to every "HINDI -UNDERSTANDING" person on earth. also to people who love foreign language movies. 10/10
