This film was called one of the most stylish films of bollywood and changed trends, the look was of International standards, the lingo used, double entendrees.etc The film was a remake of Reservior Dogs(1992) and also The Usual Suspects The first half is similar to the latter, where prisoners meet in the prison, the start is a bit slow, but the scene in the jail when they meet is well handled, the focus is more on establishing things and one liners but several scenes don't make sense like the training to rob a bank is very stupid, from shooting on rooftops to all, it hardly seems convincing The robbery scene is well handled at the interval The second half is similar to Reservior Dogs, but lacks the intensity yet the scenes where the characters suspect each other is well handled, However there are flaws, like how come the characters roam around freely after robbing the bank? Why do they hessitate to kill one cop when they killed millions while escaping from the bank yet there are superb scenes like the pre-climax when the culprit stands exposed, the climax too is superb But the director tries to force in romance too and hence some aspects don't cut ice.
Direction by Sanjay Gupta is good Music by Vishal Shekhar was trend setter, be it Ishq Samundar, Rama Re, Mahi Ve.etc
Amongst cast all get equal footage irrespective of their star status Amitabh Bachchan is good in his role as always, Sanjay Dutt lends style to his role and plays it as only he can, Suneil Shetty too is superb Mahesh Manjerekar makes a confident debut though his role does annoy at times, Lucky Ali and Kumar Gaurav leave a mark Malaika Arora is okay, Rati Agnihotri is decent Gulshan Grover irritates rest are okay
