Capitão Vermelho

I havent posted a review for 7 -8 years.. This forced my hand. First of all Saif may not be important at the Box office but boy is he doing some good stuff. This movie completely bowled me over.. An absolute masterpiece. Woh Zakhm hi kya jo dikh jaye..

Yes, there is revenge in the movie but the plot that leads is something different. Watch it if you like to watch different movies. The plot starts very slow but ends with thrill.

Finally, we get to see our Cinema experimenting outside traditional boundaries.

People who didn't like this movie will probably hate iconic films such as good bad and ugly, taxi driver or raging bull, but these films are showcased as examples of fine film making around the world.

IMO, Lal Kaptaan is an extremely well made film that deserves it's recognition in our industry. Indian cinema needs more creative projects like this, or else we will be stuck with another four installments of mindless "Dhoom's" and "War's"!

Nice saga story of a naga. Watchable for saif's best ever performance, and Deepak' s fabulous performance.

I am very generous with 10 as I am a sucker for Western films n it's rare to come across a Western film from Bollywood.

The story is set in the 18th century India n it is about a disturbed sadhu/ascetic who is on the hunt to seek revenge. The disturbed bounty hunter is on a killing spree n has spent two decades chasing his enemy. For the first time in Bollywood history, we r introduced to a man with no name.

We also have our desi tracker a la David Gulpilil, who can find out the whereabouts of any man or animal by just following his scent n he is aided by two ferocious hunting dogs.

After Sonchiriya, this is the second western to come out from Bollywood and while revenge is a common theme in Westerns, it is the harsh/rugged terrain which is a character itself in Western films. This film too has some splendid sun soaked dry settings like Sonchiriya. The cinematography brings the bleakest of environments to frightening life, aided by the fact that the locations were every bit as bleak as they appeared on screen in both the films.
