This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is by far one of the best thriller movie of Hindi. I don't understand why it did not receive the amount of success it deserved. Irfan,Arjun,Huma,Shruti & Rishi all did great job.So as the director Nikhil Advani.As a crime drama, it works perfectly well.Very gripping story.D-Day is a well-researched, purposefully executed film. Much of the action takes places in 'actual' Karachi locations - the red light district of Napier Road, the busy thoroughfare of Empress Market and the environs of Qasim Port, among others.The back stories and the emotional compulsions of the secret agents form a significant component of the story line.Some songs are also great like Alvida,Dhuaan.A must watch movie,just go for it.

Story: The nabbing operation of India's most wanted man that is carried out by four undercover agents, all of them come with their own personal baggage! Nabi Ali (Irrfan), stationed in Pakistan for years has already set up for himself emotional attachments. Rudra Pratap Singh (Arjun), a former Armed Force' officer is exactly the opposite and prefers being detached. Zoya (Huma) dumps her familial happiness and chooses her patriotism over it. And Aslam, who serves as the spy in the Don's 'kafila' joins hands in an impossible mission. On the eve of of his son's wedding, the mission that will result in the downfall of this notorious don is to be executed. How brilliantly the climax is tied up with its shockers and teary jerks are what make D-Day so unparalleled.Performances: This high octave action flick depends heavily on the prowess of its actors to valiantly carry forward the story and each of the vital work of these actors turn out to be nothing short of stellar.Rishi Kapoor as Goldman, the man fashioned on the iconic underworld character Dawood Ibrahim arrives with the enigma that his name is meant to convey. Getting every note right, he gives an impactful performance. The man is colossal in his notoriety!Irrfan as Wali Khan is impeccably wonderful both in his tender moments and the high drama ones. How in a matter of one simple film this man has in his role such diverse hues is unimaginable. The accomplished actor he is, his tendency of constantly pushing the envelope further is what makes each of his work so distinct and yet doesn't blur in terms of marvel. He makes Wali both delicate and fiery with stunning ease.Arjun Rampal has evolved for the better as an actor. His infallible personality and his portrayal that has hints of both anguish and strength is what makes him stand out despite the presence of more powerful actors. He acted like a dream and that is commendable, to say the least.Huma Qureshi tackles her part with gusto and as compared to her role in the recent Ek Thi Daayan, she is light years ahead. A female soldier whose sacrifices are way beyond merely putting her life on stake, Qureshi's strength is in her simplistic acting.Sriswara as Irrfan's wife is an excellent actress who known the right mode to enliven her role. Her chemistry with Irrfan is so adorable-ish, that your heart goes out to her helplessness!Shruti Haasan as an actress is obviously great, but her character is quite misplaced. Nevertheless she carries out her role to perfection especially the power with which she manages to choke you up in the song 'Alvida'.Direction & screenplay: Nikhil Advani's tangible movie is innovative in its vision and involving in its demeanor. The direction is so deeply fascinating, that one remains obviously latched to the movie. He carefully refrains from making any bit of it melodramatic which is perhaps the most effective part of the movie. Perhaps the only hiccup for me was the song 'Alvida' which in my opinion attempted to romanticize tragedy and pain very wrongly. It's a quite a shock that this man went wrong enough to make squibs like Chandni Chowk To China and Salaam-E-Ishq.Tom Struthers and John Street's (of Inception and Dark Knight fame) stunning stunts right from Hollywood frames terrorizes with the right punch.Tushar Ray's cinematography is picture perfect as he gives the right amount of anxiety to the story. The film's mayhem doesn't get anarchic and furnishes itself convincingly. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's soundtrack croons with a haunting feel and syncs wonderfully in the film's story.The last word: Nikhil Advani's D-Day is by far one of India's most applausive high octave action films, which has a charming rendition in terms of an emotional plot. Appealing performances and the menacing story makes for decadent palette. I am going with a 9/10 for this well textured, fabulous film that will leave you speechless and overwhelmed without becoming imposingly patriotic.

A surprising cocktail of intense plot, emotion, thrill, espionage, entertainment & action from India. A very well made out film which should have got more attention than it has got. Crisp and powerful in it's implementation, it's a true gem of good commercial Indian cinema. Unlike the shoddy, below par, almost insulting & regressive commercial movies which are churned out every year. This one is a gem of this year with superb performance by Irfan Khan & Rishi Kapoor. Entertaining classic Indian stuff devoid of slap shod histrionics and yet immensely captivating.The treatment of the film is of an action thriller but it's been backed up by a plot and a script which superbly captures the nuances of emotion, bringing depth, intensity and strong purpose to the experience.A great start to this kind of film making in this genre(which is practically non existent or too flimsy, in India). Kudos!

I was so excited to watch this action flick since the last 1 week, and finally I did.Story: Four Indians team up to capture India's most wanted Don Iqbal who is hiding in Pakistan, under the guidance of India's RAW chairman. But their plans do not go exactly the way they planned, and soon Iqbal is also after them.Action, storyline, music, dialog delivery, stunts - all are pretty good, but all could've been MUCH BETTER. The best actors are probably Arjun Rampal and Rishi Kapoor. Irrfan does not do as well a job in D day as he did in his previous films.There was no need for any songs at all in this film. It in fact spoils the essence of a thriller flick. The film also has some flaws, even towards the climax that could've been easily corrected. Also the thrill would've been much more nail biting , had the makers used a little more innovation in their imagination. There was probably no need of so much melodrama in this sort of film.I wonder if it did well.........
