Disappointment.

Rating: 5/10 (26 January 2006)

The movie drags in the first half without building up the plot. Through out the first half the director shows us the bonding between the five main characters. There's quite a lot of mistakes. Firstly Sue comes to India to make a documentary on Bhagat Singh. But through out the movie one gets the feeling she is making a 'movie', or was it a 'docu-drama'. She is making a movie without any lighting crews or even a single lighting equipment. All that they show is a DV camera. Also one of the flash-back mode ends with the projector being switched off which means they were watching the movie on the projector which they had shot. How come they can have Foley sounds without the movie getting completed or edited? The second half is about how the five characters react to Ajay's(Madhavan) death. Nowhere in the first half does the director tells about the real bonding between Ajay and the five guys except for him being the fiancé of Sonia(Soha Ali Khan) and him appearing in songs. This is quite an important aspect because unless one doesn't feel for Ajay's death how can one get the justification for the events to happen there on. One never knew killing an Indian Defence Minister was as easy as that. Can anyone just pass on the Hajmola. There isn't any clear message from the movie. The director might have intended to make a movie on the lines of Born of 4th of July where how a man takes up the fight against the state when he gets affected by a trauma. Over there the message was clear and precise. Maybe a crippled Madhavan's character would have evoked a more sympathetic feel. Though the film doesn't justifies killing but then it even doesn't give you an alternate solution.
