レザボア・ドッグス
Quentin Tarantino cited "Kaante" as his favourite among the many films that were heavily inspired by his work. He praised the film's character-building for going beyond what he was able to do with "Reservoir Dogs". Tarantino stated: "Here I am, watching a film that I've directed and then it goes into each character's background. And I'm like, 'Whoa'. For, I always write backgrounds and stuff, and it always gets chopped off during the edit. And so I was amazed on seeing this. I felt, this isn't "Reservoir Dogs". But then it goes into the warehouse scene, and I am like, 'Wow, it's back to Reservoir Dogs'. Isn't it amazing!" He also praised Amitabh Bachchan's performance. Tarantino later screened "Kaante" at his New Beverly Cinema alongside "Reservoir Dogs" and "City on Fire".
