16 December

Imdb 6.9, really? I mean what people see in movies. I am giving it 10 out of 10. This movie is gem of India cinema. Such an intense plot with lot of research, and brilliant acting by Danny, Gulshan Grover, Milind Soman and Sushant, and such high level plot with so much use of Technology that too in Year 2002. The best thing is ,every thing appears realistic, otherwise when there is too much spice in story, movie makers actually mess up the whole presentation. But this movie is awesome and it is outstanding. Whole thing is smartly and beautifully presented. We Indian audience, don't give enough appreciation to Indian artwork. This movie should be in hall of fame of Indian cinema. If there is no Hall of Fame for Indian or Hindi cinema, A Hall of Fame must be created and this movie should be among first batch to enter.

It's an awesome movie. Must watch for who criticize Bollywood for it's melodramatic movies.

Manishankar has capability to become one of the best director. It is one of his best movie.

Story is good and make you sit for 2+ hour.

The best thing about the movie is screenplay which make it interesting.

Plot is tight and fast paced.

Acting is not so good by the new actors.

Only Danny could impress with acting but it can be overlooked in exchange of good movie.

so guys if you haven't seen it yet don't miss it.

16 December should most definitely be considered for an award this year. A patriotic storyline and technologically enhanced yet believable action sequences will keep the local crowds attracted. But this movie has something for everyone. The technologically savvy will also definitely have something to appreciate with the holographic imaging scenes and fun little detective gadgets(For the first IMac lovers, there's plenty of those in here to). For average Hindi movie standards, the special effects were extremely well done. Portraying not only the works of terrorist organizations and political scoundrels, this film also does justice to the military and other special security operatives by exposing some their features and capabilities (if they are exaggerated, there is really no way for the layman to be sure). Apart from the thoroughly futile attempts at maintaining the usual love story in the background by adding a couple of songs, 16th December will keep you glued to the screen for the whole 2 and a half hours.

This film deserves a 9 out of 10. I can say that because this films stands out completely from the crowd of typical Bollywood films with their stories about romantic drama. This film has proved that even bollywood can come up with hi-gadgetry and more of a Hollywood style stuff rather than normal dancing around the trees. I loved the idea of saving a disaster using modern technology and trying new things than doing some of that old fashioned stunts and spying.The computer effects were also pretty decent. This is one film that i would recommend to all those who are tired of watching romantic dramas from bollywood. Totally off the scale. The story is superb with the actors performing real good. I hope to see more of such films coming from bollywood. brilliant work.

What I remember this movie as... well as far as I know; it was the first movie with design and apparatus of style Hollywood. Even today movies with that level of accuracy are not made in bollywood. It was just yesterday I was discussing with my Friend regarding the new movie Kkrish, yes the one which has got enhanced mutants... Extra 20 minutes, extra fight, unnecessary scenes, I mean there was a lot to digest. A better movie could have been planned with reduced 20 minutes.

This is where 16 December shines. A movie planned in budget which does maximum justice to budget cast and execution. Friends if you want to see A-grade movie involving defence chief, ministers, security agents all tackling on terror and made in India 16 December is worth a start.

rating: 7.5/10
