AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
silvan-desouza Oh wow no other formula available so take a story of how indians are treated badly in a racist manner in London The story seems too old now and the Londons are painted black and our Indians are full of heartAs in most Hindi films dealing with patriotism this too is similarSohail Khan again returns in an action mode after his failed debut in MDTD(2002) and a small appearance in DARNA MANA HAI(2003)he bangs up anybody and most London gorasIn between he gets chance to emote and romance tooThis is like a showreel to him afterall his 2nd home production(by know his most films are home productions) He doesn't even have a name in this film he is called IThe story follows the GHAYAL formula and reminds of GHAYAL in many scenes and is tad too predictable Direction by Puneet Sira(not Puneet Issar) is good in some portions Music is badSohail Khan is better in serious roles then his stupid comic roles however he is too wooden(though has improved a bit now in drama) and in emotional scenes he needs work The heroine is forgettable Khulbushan Kharbanda excels, Mona is too good Aasif Sheikh is good the Pakistani and the main villain are too theatrical
maurya k2k This movie has some very interesting aspects concerning Indian mentality towards racism or humiliation, which is (or was?) a basic problem. The movie had a very well done plot and good ideas. This film is something completely new. Now the movie was not about the fights, it had a very interesting message, which is something like: if you really want something to happen, and you have a strong will, it will happen. This film is perhaps also to provoke some kind of basic change of attitude towards humiliation and racism. (Which, by the way, does not goes towards violence, but a better awareness of the own dignity, self-respect and a stronger will, maybe.) It luminates also other basic problems, for example how easily racists can get the upper hand: "divide and rule". All in all the movie tries to bring a more clear idea of the whole theme of racism against Indians and to provoke a better awareness of everyone (for Indian AND British or generely whites).NOW, everyone who voted for under 8, is, in my opinion, either a skinhead himself or just does not care about the theme of racism or does not understand the seriousness of it or is a piece of meat.
Sam Rupani (rupanisp) Good Screenplay.Good Direction.Indians are Most Relative people.They are still very relative to U.K.America is escape..Iceland is eternity for every one.They should look 50% of time towards America and 50% of to Iceland.Skin Head are only meat.. no emotions..Donkeys are better than them... at least they carry load and work overhere...Thanks and Regards.Sam RupaniHouston, Texas, United States of America.
AishFan I never before have heard of the skinheads neo-Nazi group before, probably because I don't live in England. I guess I could compare it to the KKK here in the US. I live just a couple hours north of their headquarters! I never really remember encountering one, though. My parents said we ran into some in Martinsville, IN, but I was too young to remember it. They also tell me about this group called "Dot Busters" where they used to shoot women with the dots on their forehead (Indians wearing bindis), but I don't think they exist anymore. Anyways, I think one can only enjoy this movie if he/she can relate to it. How much you like it depends on how much racism you've experienced or knowledge you have of such groups. My geographic location let me enjoy the movie and the fact that I slightly remember how racist my society used to be in the late 80s-early 90s. However, I am fortunate to say that society seems to be heading in the right direction in respect to racism, so I didn't have enough experience to like love this movie.Sohail Khan did a good job acting. Since it was his production, I'm sure he had a passion for the story and could fully embody the character. He has matured as an actor from his awful debut (don't even remember the name of it) to Darna Mana Hai and now I. His bhabhi did a great job acting, and so did the little kid. Aslam also was good. After a long time, I saw a not-small budget film, and it was sure a nice experience after all the trashy movies that have come out this year. Songs were not bad. One thing I didn't like that much is that racism was responded to with violence. In reality, I don't believe violence can solve ANYTHING.
