Blackmail

I rented this movie out, only because i had nothing else to watch. The Trailer of this movie looked quite boring and had below average reviews. Judging by the name, you expect this kind of film to be a lame duck. I was caught by surprise, when i saw this Superb movie. Ajay Devgan gives a brilliant performance as the convict waiting for revenge, against the Police (Sunil Shetty) that put him in prison, and was responsible for the death of his pregnant wife (Diya Mirza). There are some great scenes in the movie like when Ajay finds out he has a son, and his son is the boy he kidnapped. Heart warming and a little emotional relationship between father and son. Ajay wishes to keep his son, but his son wants to go back to Sunil, who he considers his father. A nice entertaining movie that has some action, comedy, family relationships and good drama. The movie wasn't a Big Hit, which is quite a shame. In my opinion, this is a Good film, worth the watch. The gorgeous Priyanka Chopra has a small role.The movie belongs to Ajay Devgan delivering one of his Best performances I've seen. Watch out for the item dance sequence by the sexy Monalisa.

The opening scene made me think I was in a karoke bar and my partner immediately left the room at that point. What made me enjoy this film was mostly about what it wasn't. It had no gratuitous sex scenes, the kid spoke correctly, didn't mumble and wanted to be a race car driver when he grew up, and not a gangster or pimp. It had a mixture of traditional Indian dress and high end western clothing. The flying through the air when shooting was typical but no bloody chest wounds went along with this. Nobody even got hurt when they were pummeling each other's face. Guess I'm just tired of run of the mill American action genre films.

Never in my life have I ever seen a more pathetic attempt at a 'thriller' than this movie.

The premise sounded interesting...a former race car driver turned bad. This led me to believe that I would see top notch driving, but was treated to very low octane action. There is NOTHING exciting about watching severely low-powered Indian Lancers and Hondas trying to act 'fast and furious'. It's laughable. The actual storyline didn't help much, either.

Don't watch this...you'll only cringe.

"Make my son a rally car driver!" Give me a break!

2/10

This movie was a huge flop in India.But,unlike the critics,the movie was quite good.Apart from its action sequences,the story was quite good too.It revolves around Ajay Devgan,who wants to take revenge from the cop(Suniel Shetty),for killing his wife(Dia Mirza).

The entry of Suniel Shetty is too good.His wire-work looks good.Ajay Devgan is at his best.His fight at the carnival,and the ending,was really emotional.The best stunt was the Gypsy coming through the barrels of water,above the Honda CRX.It really blew away my mind. Priyanka Chopra and Dia Mirza are present in a very small role but do their bit in the form of a few songs.

Watch this movie only if you are a Ajay Devgan fan.He carries the whole movie on his shoulders,and performs terrifically.The father-son relation has been displayed quite well,and is emotionally captivating.Not bad...Not bad at all....

First of all, I think labeling this movie as an action/thriller is a definite misnomer. It is more of a drama. However, I think it's pointless to think too hard trying to categorize films only to strictly expect things typical of a film belonging to that genre. I mean come on, this is Bollywood. Blackmail has it all--action, drama, romance, the works. I thought there were some good action sequences, particularly the carnival scene. Priyanka Chopra and Diya Mirza don't have much of a role and are simply there to add a couple of songs. The essence of this movie is the father-son relationship. Suniel Shetty's adopted son means everything in the world to him after losing his real son. Ajay Devgan's search for his son leads him to a shocking yet heartwarming realization. The father-son relationship has been portrayed absolutely beautifully in this film. The climax is a real tearjerker. All actors and actresses have given extraordinary performances.
