Not a bad remake of a far Superior film

This is the Indian version of a Korean Film called 'Old Boy' , which in my opinion is a absolutely amazing film , well worth watching. Not a bad remake , it's not scene for scene but almost but they do leave out the most important twist in the whole film! , which is understandable because it is aimed at the conservative Indian market.

All in all not bad , if you liked it then definately watch the Korean version 'Old Boy' you won't be disappointed.

Watch this film

Surprisingly enough I actually enjoyed this film very much. Even though it wasn't your typical 'bollywood' film with the songs, dance and romance it was a very good film indeed. The acting by Sanjay and especially John was excellent and very believable. A very very good 'revenge' film, I would very highly recommend it.

Title makes sense at the end of the film. Was a very different story. Definately not what you expect from Indian Cinema. I just didn't like Sunjay Dutt's hairstyle!

Bad remake of a good movie

This film is a bollywood remake of 'Korean Oldboy'.

This is a good film for bollywood, if you don't watch anything other than bollywood.

The film is pretty awful its laughable, but its better than alot of other bollywood remakes I have seen.

If you have seen 'Oldboy' don't watch this, unless you want to cringe.

Does not live up to expectations...

The story line is no doubtly interesting but such movies are far too 'mature' for indian cinema. Watch the movie for performances (in case of John for his extraordinary appearence as well), and the style of shooting (but some scenes are extremely off-putting)...

Different, worth a watch

Not suitable for family viewing . Lots of blood. Interesting plot. Different from the usual Hindi Movies
