      Not a typical American film. Good!

      The opening scene made me think I was in a karoke bar and my partner immediately left the room at that point. What made me enjoy this film was mostly about what it wasn't. It had no gratuitous sex scenes, the kid spoke correctly, didn't mumble and wanted to be a race car driver when he grew up, and not a gangster or pimp. It had a mixture of traditional Indian dress and high end western clothing. The flying through the air when shooting was typical but no bloody chest wounds went along with this. Nobody even got hurt when they were pummeling each other's face. Guess I'm just tired of run of the mill American action genre films.

      Great action sequences and a great movie!!!!

      This movie was a huge flop in India.But,unlike the critics,the movie was quite good.Apart from its action sequences,the story was quite good too.It revolves around Ajay Devgan,who wants to take revenge from the cop(Suniel Shetty),for killing his wife(Dia Mirza).

      The entry of Suniel Shetty is too good.His wire-work looks good.Ajay Devgan is at his best.His fight at the carnival,and the ending,was really emotional.The best stunt was the Gypsy coming through the barrels of water,above the Honda CRX.It really blew away my mind. Priyanka Chopra and Dia Mirza are present in a very small role but do their bit in the form of a few songs.

      Watch this movie only if you are a Ajay Devgan fan.He carries the whole movie on his shoulders,and performs terrifically.The father-son relation has been displayed quite well,and is emotionally captivating.Not bad...Not bad at all....

      A Joke

      Never in my life have I ever seen a more pathetic attempt at a 'thriller' than this movie.

      The premise sounded interesting...a former race car driver turned bad. This led me to believe that I would see top notch driving, but was treated to very low octane action. There is NOTHING exciting about watching severely low-powered Indian Lancers and Hondas trying to act 'fast and furious'. It's laughable. The actual storyline didn't help much, either.

      Don't watch this...you'll only cringe.

      "Make my son a rally car driver!" Give me a break!

      2/10

      Black Mail (Parvarish + Ransom + random movies)

      Anil Devgan(cousin of Ajay) startd his career with a flop RAJU CHACHA returns with his cousin in this flop film

      The movie isn't too bad though it's clichéd, done to death and borrows every ingredient from past

      The film is a copy of RANSOM and mixed with other commercial ingredients

      The kidnapping scene is well handled and actually kicks off the story which is boring before

      But the ease at which the hawaldars disappear.etc is contrived

      The backstory of Ajay- Dia is straight out of old movies and the twist that Parth is Ajay's son is straight out of PARVARISH

      The characters of Mukesh Rishi and the overdose of stunts are done to death and look like old films and the climax too

      The film is predictable and that is a downfall The scenes between Parth and Ajay are well handled

      Direction by Anil Devgan is decent but he shd've thought of something new Music is forced

      Action scenes are overdone, especially the MATRIX like stunts and the flying Suneil stunts and also Ajay ones

      Ajay Devgan excels in his part especially in the emotional scenes and also in the scenes with Parth and with Suneil Suneil is decent though at times he hams it up Priyanka has just 3 tasks to do, cry Chiraag, say some lines and dance and she is nothing special Dia is better in her small role Parth is superb,A worth to watch child artist Mukesh Rishi is routine

      Amateurish work

      Despite a talented star cast, Blackmail looks so amateurish...I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't do so well.

      Ace car racer and criminal Shekhar seeks revenge on cop Abhay Singh for getting him arrested and imprisoned even to the extent of costing Shekhar the life of his wife and child, 7 years after his release. But Shekhar is in for surprises and Abhay Singh has to figure out how to handle the ex conman who is behind him now. The hunter has become the hunted.

      The film has amateurish conceptualisation, amateurish dialogue work, Weak acting, Poor editing and is overdramatic. There is unbelievable stuff, like surviving more than 24 hrs after being hit in the back by a bullet.

      It does get thrilling at times, and there are a few melodious songs , best actor is probably Sunil shetty. Ajay Devgn is definitely a talented actor but in this film his talents are not used well.

      Couldn't have worked.
