Rent Black Friday instead...
This movie is written and directed by Apoorva Lakhia who previously came up be disasters like Ek Ajnabi and Mumbai Se Aya Mera Dost. This movie could have been made good if the director did not choose to put cheesy dialogues, over the top and unnecessary violent sequences, and such an awfully loud background music...I watched this movie on my home cinema and my ears started to ache after half an hour....loud relentless thumping background music which was totally unnecessary. If you want to watch a far better movie of this genre, rent Black Friday which is such an excellent piece of film making. The director seemed to have no control over the sequences and the result was a mish mash of violent scenes with every member of the cast over acting, espcially the Oberoi chap who was struggling to look and act vicious but failed miserably. The songs were totally unnecessary inclusion in this type of movie. And Mr. Bachchan, what can I say? Some directors think that just making him work in a movie is a key to commercial success, and the result is that he has appeared in so many recent nonsensical movies including the equally pathetic presentation from Mr. Lakhia, Ek Ajnabi. Again Abhishek was put in totally unnecessary just to boost it's commercial appeal. Overall a let down, one to avoid. Watch Black Friday if you like this genre, it's a masterpiece.
