A perfect "romp" on the tightrope

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2006)

Check out the opening tune for the Hindi soundtrack at the "http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/17/s/movie_name.586/". Check on Chaiyya Chaiyya and listen to the awesome track. AR Rahman and Gulzar (composer and poet respectively) are geniuses - par excellence. A mainstream Spike Lee is surprisingly entertaining as he never fails to take jabs at various stereotypes. The character of a Sikh (one of the turban wearing, bearded Indian males)has some of the extremely delicious lines for the US security agencies and their workers. Jodi Foster sparkles in the role of the "deal maker", she carries herself well as a body part as the mayor prefers to personify her general character. All the pieces fit well, and therefore results into a satisfying story telling for the likes of Spike Lee, Jodi Foster and Clive Owen (whose face is visible for a very little time). Enjoy the movie.
