Samay: When Time Strikes

Though this movie is a lot like another English (Hollywood) movie, for Bollywood cinemas, it's an excellent improvement on their usual stock. Excellent direction & use of lighting.

No love-interest & not much deviation from the plot keeps the viewer at the edge of the seat, right till the end of the movie.

All in all, an excellent movie I recommend to everyone.

Execellent direction...one of the best suspense movie in bollywood.

This is one of the best crime thrillers I have ever seen. It definitely has to be Sushmita Sen's best film her acting was also good usually she cannot act. Her role as a police officer really did suit her. She is better off like that because she is not very glamorous and she can't act in romantic roles. There is only one song in the film called Laila Laila... which was put in a very sensible way, it doe's not have any couples dancing around trees in Switzerland. It was about an actress who was shooting her music video; the song & cinematography were both terrific. Ending was quite sad but it was very clever and unexpected. A lot of people said that it is inspired from Seven, I've not seen it but I am 200% sure that Samay will turn out to better than Seven although it is one of the top 250 IMDb movies. The film is very similar to the CID programme on Sony Entertainment Television Asia. Overall Samay: When Time Strikes is one of my most favourite movies!

What worked: It's a fine thriller, with a good screenplay and direction. Sushmita Sen performed very well in the movie, and so did the supporting actors Jackie and Sushant. Unlike many female lead movies, Sushmita was well balanced in her character; no unnecessary ruthlessness or mean behaviors. What did not work: I think the movie could have been better if it was produced today. The technical aspect of the movie is weak; it has weak camera work and sound mixing. Final verdict: recommended

Underrated film..good one....suspense and thriller movie...but expected Susmita Sen to be better more
