Zameen

This is a good film to watch if you wanna see some real action.

Story is about an army colonel and a Mumbai ACP who, after years of separation over misunderstandings, are forced to work together again due to circumstances to fight a group of terrorists from Pakistan who hijack a plane to get their arrested leader released from Indian prison.

The good - Full of action and stunts, some songs, Acting on both Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan's part, some hilarious and hard hitting dialog delivery, the cinematography.

The bad-the plane hijack which was poorly coordinated, a little weak editing, some overacting on the actors part.

Otherwise the film is good.

Zameen has a very interesting story, has some terrific acting by Ajay and Abhishek, great photography, and good music. Unfortunately it also had a lot more that seriously detracted from the film. I generally love the songs and dances in Indian film but felt that at least two of them were out of place and lessened the impact of everything that went before it. The car crashes were completely unnecessary to the plot and looked fakey and unrealistic. Bibasha was mere window dressing and there were times where I felt her affect was inappropriate to a specific scene. She was great in Jism and in a supporting role in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai but needed better direction here. The propagandizing went a little overboard at times and, for those who do not know what P.O.K. is, it refers to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir since the initials are referred to several times but never spelled out until close to the end of the movie. Despite the negatives, I would still have to give the film 7/10 although, without them, it could have easily received a 9.

Yet another fascist hindutva ideology film, portraying muslims as terrorists. Amateurish action, poor acting and very bad story. The typical indian police force and army bull$hit movies.

This movie is juat a remake of so many old Hindi crap movies in the name of patriotism. Other than the update to current ppolitical secnario this is nothing new.

Weird wide angle shots as gimmick only made me more cynical about the film. This is just a icing on the cake for all the crap we dole out from Bollywood and other indian film indutstries.

Bad editing, bad acting and bad music along with unnecessary club song which looks like a square peg in a round hole in the continuity of the film. This is nothing but formula patriotic film and if you are a film connoisseur avoid this atall costs.

I will give this 2 out of 10 just for the existence.

From the previews, I was expecting another great Ajay Devgan flick. However, Ajay's role is not that powerful. The protagonist is actually Abhishek Bachchan. Bipasha's role is pretty insignificant. There are a lot of extraneous scenes before the actual plot begins to take shape. The climax is the saving grace of this film.
