5/10
Pathetic storyline, but has some good moments.
27 July 2005
I came upon this film, when an Indian friend of mine recommended it as an introduction into the world of Bollywood. I must say, I am not impressed. The sound effects and special effects are so amateurish that I thought I had undergone a time-warp into yesteryear. I know this is supposed to be a comedy, but the way the film was cut and directed was what made it so funny in my opinion. Even with all its flaws, there were some good moments, however. The American FBI team might have been shown as a caricature in the film, but the actors did a fine job with such poorly written material. The scene with the kid eating the ice cream was funny. The best scenes were the Brooklyn Bridge chase scene and the scene after-wards when the FBI commiserate over the female agent turning traitor. That scene had the only real moment in the film and the acting of Thomas Tevana and Gary Castro Churchwell was powerful. All in all it was a poorly constructed film with a few good scenes. I hope to see better Bollywood films in the future.
