Surprisingly good

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I thought great,another macho,action- Indian flick, but was pleasantly surprised when I actually found myself enjoying it. The film is magnificently produced. The acting is outstanding and the narrative, unbelievably good. You could be fooled into thinking your were watching a Hollywood film, rather then an Indian one at times. The action scenes and special effects were amazingly realistic, proving that a lot of care and attentive details went into making this movie.

Abhishek Bachchan has proved his critics wrong and proudly displayed his acting heritage. Not only did he act good but came across very confident in his character, something that his earlier films lacked. Watch this space, the new king it seems has finally arrived. Zayed Khan also exceeded expectations and was enjoyable to watch. Sanjay Dutt was in top form as were the rest of the cast. Pankaj Kapoor was also brilliant and showed off his versatile acting range.

Although this film may not win any big awards it was thoroughly great to watch. The soundtrack was also hip and modern. All in all,this film comes highly recommended.
