It is a performances centric movie

Absolutely Fantastic

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Well, this is typical Madhur Bhandarkar stuff, which pretends to be of superior quality but in actual fact is just another junk. A predictable film which aims to explore the world of life in a jail through the story of a good guy wrongly accused and jailed for no fault of his own, and well it cannot get more boring thanks to the poorly written script, and the stereotypical characters. Bhandarkar likes to explore, and devote each new project to another field, but his research for this film is marred by his own, erroneous and highly immature interpretation of what he had probably studied. The proceedings just do not ring true, and not once do you get reminded of those old Hindi films which portray the judicial system as totally corrupt. Neil Nitin Mukesh is just not convincing enough. He was a nice new find back in Johnny Gaddaar and the only film in which he managed to leave a mark for me was Saat Khoon Maaf. Otherwise in this film he's left struggling with what seems to be a great lack of acting chops. He often looks wooden, awkward, even though he does have his moments which sadly are few and far between. Mugdha Godse is just there in the role of a girl who is frankly too good to be true. Manoj Bajpai is wasted as the self-righteous prisoner. Jail just doesn't word, better avoided.

Considering most of the Bollywood films with imaginary stories, songs as well as dance sequences in the gardens, I was pretty much reluctant for this movie. But happened to see it on TV. Really impressive work, later found out the director is Madhur Bhandarkar, no doubt there are really very few directors to create such kind of magic.Very real and strong script, with superb direction. The movie progresses stage by stage with a charm. It was such a treat to watch this movie. Loved every part of it and the best part is touching one of the most sensitive areas in India. Never had so much sympathy for Indian jail convicts so far. This is for sure a movie of international standards.A must watch.

a movie from Bollywood about jail life.jail 2009..its about a man gets framed by his friend & ends up in jail .the crime & its aftermath is shown here. how the life inside bars is hell if you have been there,.this movie is one time watch & shows the lead actor Neil in his best & other actors are also good.sex,crime,police etc etc etc.i didn't hear the soundtrack so don't know about it..anyway just watch it in a free time.its not that good movie.you can skip if you wantmy rating is 4/10.

This is a really good movie. The premise is simple as it is a classic prison drama. The plot builds momentum from the beginning; the director captures the life and soul of the jail to great effect. I was impressed by this unknown actor, and thought it a good idea that someone new got a chance as opposed to the money-grabbing usual line-up. His performance was of a high standard, as was the rest of this little-known cast.The Bollywood Shawshank Redemption? Possibly better. An intelligent, emotive movie that celebrates the strength of the human spirit and highlights the virtue of not giving up.
