Plan

The films plot is weak. The core plot of Kidnapping a Mafia Boss to pay debts is inspired from the 1997 Hollywood Flick "Suicide Boys". An interesting thriller is made into cheap gags. But if one were to every remote sense of cinema, than its a timepass comedy.

It seems the Hindi Cinema seem to use Sanjay Dutt's past connection to underworld and his screen presence as a mafia is being overused in Indian Gangsta Flicks. Irrespective of whether its a comedy, thriller, noir film.

Except for the Munnabhai saga, there is none of the original ideas to show Sanjay Dutt as a mafia boss. Probably Vishal Bhardwaj or Ram Gopal Verma are the only ones who can use Sanjay Dutt in an original idea Gangsta flick. But that is a wish. lets see if Sanjay Dutt will ever get the opportunity. In fact some one should bring him to the attention of Tarantino and a Tarantino + Dutt Flick would be something to look forward to. Again, thats a wish...

The story is probably more down to earth than some of the blockbusters like Chalte Chalte,how can you go wrong with four starry-eyed coverging on Mumbai to seek fame and fortune. The casting of the four is wonderfull and the dialogue brazy if only the momentum lasted till the end!.This make me think if the financiers of a movie end up taking away the reigns from the directors when they see the rushes and they dont want an "Art-house" movie and then the cinematic fare takes the usual turn as in any masala movie. What I see as the problem with this otherwise good movie is when Musa Bhai (Sanjay Dutt)makes the entry-then things seem to focus on him and his galpal (Priyank Chopra) who looks like has peaked in her looks and acting in "Hero". The movie takes a detou'r never to return to the highway. The innatley intrusive interaction between Dutt and Chopra is more annoying than funny. Sameera Reddy as the "Heroine" looks more voluptous than Priyanka and a better actor I might add.The four actors are very good with Dino Morea the best of the lot. Sanjay Dutt spends his time gazing the scenary with toady eyes and cleans up the neighbourhood so the boys can catch the 4pm train-a generosity rarely practiced by his cult.

Plan,ends up being awry.

The story is very good.

Wish if the screenplay was watertight,but sadly the screenplay is loose.

A lot of talented actors are wasted.There are even some unwanted tracks which come as gap fillers.

Direction by Hriday Shetty is bad.

The music is third-grade Performance wise-Sanjay Dutt steals the show.But he is introduced so late.Dino Morea,Sanjay Suri,Rohit Roy and Bikram Saluja get limited scope.Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Manjrekar are wasted.

Overall Plan is bad.

The first half of this movie is absolutely terrible! There is definitely not a single development/no plot whatsoever in the first half. The four guys' living conditions in Mumbai was too glossed over, and Sanjay's life as a don was too "filmi." The special effects guy got carried away in this movie like in Khel. Everyone gave a good performance, though. As expected, Sanjay did a wonderful job. I really liked his "Armani suit is a coffin" monologue. Priyanka, of course, was fabulous. Any movie has room for her breathtaking looks and vivacious acting. Of the four guys, Bikram Saluja was surprisingly the best. The songs were totally awesome, especially "Pyaar Aaya"--I just can't get enough of that song. The DVD is made really well. It has terrific 5.1 sound. The movie picks up slightly in the second half but still doesn't make an exciting story.

However the story is a mix of a few english/american movies, i still liked it. It's good to see that bollywood is able to make "Tarantino" style movies. Now original stories...
