Deadline: Sirf 24 Ghante

Excellent movie! Not known much, but a movie of morality and quality. Bollywood should produce such movies, again, unfortunately, it is unknown as a film and I was astonished to know that it was 14 years' old film. We are driving ourselves towards commercial movies! An excellent life lession movie.

If I had watched this movie back when it was released, I may have probably given this movie more than 1 star. But today in 2017, I can safely say that an episode of CrimePatrol is better than this movie. I am sure even the director will agree with me today. The reason I watched it was because it had Irfaan Khan. It was a lazy afternoon and I thought of giving this movie a shot. The preview looked good. Unfortunately there is no content. The movie becomes predictable half way through the movie. Please don't waste your time watching this movie. I will give it zero stars. But I guess the system will not allow me to dot that. So I give 1 star out of 10.

Well, who cares? 'Deadline: Sirf 24 Ghante' does get into action right from the start as it shamelessly rips off Luis Mandoki's 'Trapped'. Tanvir Khan pretty much copies every scene and even so, the execution is poor because it's made on a very low budget as a result of which it perhaps isn't as slick as it could have been. The cinematography does not do much to help. The absence of songs keeps the pace steady. The only thing that stands out in this hackneyed film is the acting. Konkona Sen Sharma does a fine job of a young Indian modern housewife and mother who is held hostage at her own house while her daughter's abducted and her husband himself is a hostage. Sandhya Mridul is spot on. Irfan Khan is wonderful and Rajit Kapoor and Zakir Hussain do very well. The child actress is horrible as she tries to copy Dakota Fanning (who was also awful). Overall, 'Deadline: Sirf 24 Ghante' is a banal thriller. Tanveer Khan just proves to be another Bollywood hack.

A group of three persons kidnap a child of a rich man. That makes a tense situation. They start demanding money from the parents of the child. This makes the viewers anxious and curious to know what will happen next moment. How will the kidnappers behave, and how will the victims react? The trauma of the victims is clearly expressed. The kidnappers find that everything is not going according to their plans. There are complications involved that they had not anticipated. Their frustration and attempts to solve the problems also engage the viewers. Near the end, there is a twist in the story. All the actors have done a great job. The photography is good, and all the scenes look fresh and attractive. It is a one time watch.

It was a good movie , not bad at all , good performances by Konkona & Irfan Khan in the movie
