Once Upon a time ---

Once upon a time, rediff used 2 give us decent movie reviews with a critics point of view rather than the one written for this movie which appears to be written by D'Ib himself or Ekta Kapoor. I saw the movie after reading the reviews and came back disappointed. Its a decent gangster movie but hardly nothing new. AND DEFINITELY NOT A CLASSIC THAT IT IS MADE OUT TO BE. COMPANY was a classic, OUATIM is a decent replica.

I'm not agree with u on this, Ajay is the most suitable actor for this kind of role & even he did well in past & got appreciation from the public in the form of HIT picture.

salim-javed????

I understand everyone can have a opinion. Some people may like a movie, others may hate the same movie. I could have just read this review and closed the browser, by thinking, 'oh! It's just one man's opinion'. But then, I saw the write being compared with Salim-Javed. Excuse me Sir! have you ever seen any movie written by Salim-Javed? One thing I am sure that you have not seen Sholay, Deewar, Zajeer or Trishul. Otherwise, you would not have dared to compare some average (if not bad) script to these legendary scripts. Please go and watch these classic movies and then think about any comparison.

I for one am a worshipper of the films you mentioned above, and live with the lines of those films.

Even then I liked the film OUATIM.

This movie does not even deserve half star!!!seems like the script writer kept of book of best proverbs next to him while writing!!the gansters were talking like saints!!!it was like watching a 3 hour soap in theatre!!someone who had read even the wikipedia article of Haji mastan could have made better movies!!!people who have written good abt this movie below - please watch REAL gangster movies like Sathya, Company or even RGVs D was a better movie than this!! Watch untouchables, godfathers, road to perdition etc and then comment on this piece of crap!!!!

Guys now I believe you that rediff reviewers are paid by producers to write reviews - otherwise NOONE would have given 4 stars for this non-movie. It is just a documentary with no production-design detail to costumes - NOTHING. TOTAL WASTE OF TICKET MONEY.

WHo told you that gangster movuies always need to have action.

This film dealt with the emotional aspect of the gangsters.

I guess one man's meat is another man's poision.

I quite liked the film.

The way the story was told, the essence being shown assuming the audience is intelligent enough to find the analogy with reality.

I am in the software profession like you, and till date no one has questioned my sanity or film understanding sense.

I guess you are of one dimention, so cannot look at things froma different perspective and different shade.

Sadly, you need to grow up my friend.
