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...

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.
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.

A well awaited movie I finally was able to see it and what a surprise, it's another rip off of a Hollywood movie, just in a longer version!
6 strangers get arrested for one crime and end up in one jail for the night. Together they plan a flawless crime, to rob a bank. With flashbacks and some present events, we get to see who is who and how they ended up in that cell. Major, a man with an ill wife on her death bed at home is looking to get some help to get his business sorted out. Marc, a bouncer in love with one of the dancers at the club gets framed by his boss. Bali, a lunatic with a retarded sister at home has half a brain and is aided by a partner he has known for 6 months, Mac. Andy, a small time criminal who knows his way with computers and stuff, but also has trouble at home with his now divorced wife and little son who he can't support. Ajju, a crook, whose crime gets them all in jail where they meet. The robbery goes smooth, but one gets injured and they don't understand how the police arrive there until they grab a cop, who tells them that one of the 6 is an undercover cop.......
For those who have seen Reservoir Dogs, you'll know who the cop is and the mystery will be solved before you know it, but still Bollywood goes all out with great songs and stuff so for those who haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, this is worth a watch.
I rate this 7/10, god acting and some funny scenes.

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.

Jay Rehan 'Ajju': [to Major in Hindi] Will you only bark or will you bite?
- Crazy creditsIn one of the most unusual title credits shown in a Bollywood movie, all the main actors' names were shown in reverse order. So perennial top-billing actor Amitabh Bachchan was last and Mahesh Manjrekar was shown as the first.
- Alternate versionsThe film was certified A by the Indian Censor Board with just one audio cut which was to remove a strong expletive.
