    RESEVOIR DOGS

    Well done, cinematography was excellent, directing was brillaint, actors was superb, but if you've seen Reservoir Dogs, the ending has been blown and you already know what's going to happen. I wish they had changed the ending, so I would've further enjoyed the movie. Company is by far, the best Hindi gangster movie.

    lives up to expectations..

    Yerp, this is probably 2002's most keenly anticipated bollwood film...and it clicks!

    thought to be a remake of reservoir dogs, this film revolves around 6 men criminals...with one traitor in them...

    the music in this film is no biggie, just below average...but the film's great...worth the wait...

    Great film

    Kaante boasting of a dream star cast, is among the finest action films made in India. Though there are some loop holes in the story but the slick direction and great performances more than make up for the deficit. Technically the film seems to be flawless, with stylish direction, great music, amazing background scores and breathtaking camera work. The story is about 6 NRIs who plan to pull of a robbery, with one of them turning out to be an undercover cop. All the lead actors portray the character with great aplomb. Amitabh Bachchan is great as always as the leader of the group. Suniel Shetty, Kumar Gaurav and Lucky Ali also do a good job, but the surprise package is débutant Mahesh Mangrakar, who surprises with his amazing comic timings and keeps you alive with his one liners. But it's Sunjay Dutt who steals the show with his invincible screen presence. Though the movie is inspired by Reservior Dogs, but that doesn't stop it from being a great movie watching experience. Worth your time...!!

    If you have seen "Reservoir Dogs", you have seen "Kaante"

    The only change is that Kaante is the Indianised version, with additional family members and some good songs thrown in. Watching the original Reservoir Dogs (director: Quentin Tarantino) after I watched Kaante made me realise that the song and dance sequences in Kaante actually thinned/watered down the pace, plot and the grip of the entire storyline. Kaante is a decent bet for your money, but then you have to hand it to the director to have come up with an original story/plot and executed is equally well.

    The director should have "adapted" with minimal changes to the pace of the story. Quentin Tarantino would not have minded I believe.

    Adaptation of Reservoir Dogs.

    This movie is an adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", the only difference being that there are more people in the movie. I must say, for a bollywood movie, I got more to see than I expected. I saw this movie before watching Reservoir Dogs and the performances were simply brilliant. Amitabh, Sanjay and Mahesh Manjarekar make an excellent team. If you want to relax and watch an explosive bollywood movie on a friday night, this is exactly the kind of movie you are looking for.
