a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Emraan – In terms of the shades, the role had immense potential to unleash the true talent in an actor and do what "Naam" did for Sanjay Dutt. Having said that, a confident performance here. Sonal Chauhan –Barring a few plastic moments, her performance is not too bad for a first-timer. The svelte figurine, if chooses wisely can survive in Bollywood. And very addictive smile.Sameer Kochhar – This actor is too handsome hunk to be a police officer. And why was he munching all the time? Vishal Malhotra – there was no value addition of this role to the movie per se'. When the apartment is raided, why does it scare the living daylights of him? And later he jumps in to be a partner in major crime? Bad characterisation!Vipin Sharma –Probably owing to lack of screen time, the character seems unwarranted. Perhaps hangover of TPZ.Jawaid Shaikh - I wonder if it is the actor or the writing department who should take blame here for turning it into a character role. Have we forgotten Paresh Rawal in "Naam"? BTW even the one-way street dialogue from "Naam" is reprised here. Perhaps the weakest villain from Bhatt's camp. Songs as usual from the house of Bhatt's do bear the trademark stamp over it and posses repeat value.Kunal holds the reigns well for the first timer. By another couple of rounds, time will tell.The promos set a different expectation bar altogether in the audience's mind. Cricket though infused into the storyline is not integral to it and hence it would be safe to say that justice was "not" done to the subject.The last 30-minutes could have been easily trimmed to give it a slick finish. The climax was definitely long-winded and practically even the blind can see it coming.PS: The dig at Sidhu.. I agree too!

I thought this film would be a nonsensical usual mahesh bhatt film which had stories but were artificial..But it got me by surprise. It was a good story man!! Not realistic and all that but well told.Emraan hashmi has become a star..long overdue..not much deserved but only for the fact that he is consistent. Though he is not conventionally good looking..he is okay. The film deals with that part of match fixing not seen as yet. New director, new girl but the Bhatt camp behind it means they back directors fully. Or he would not have been able to make this film.There would have been interferences, dictates and all that. So many producers are like that especially first time Producers.All in all.. a must see.

the new movie from bhatt production house has been released to a great hype following the success of awarapan. Don't go to the movie expecting too much. Its just a time killer that will keep u busy till the end.A gambler turns into a cricket bookie finding that he has a sixth sense of guessing what will happen the next ball. But his urge to make quick money pushes him into match fixing and he looses control of his life and love. The ending is very dramatic which lends the punch at the end. i kind of liked it.Imran delivers a steady performance. He has done alright in similar roles in the past. the soundtrack and background score is good. Its a good way to kill time on an evening.

I sat through the entire movie wondering when it was going to end, i could have left the hall sooner but decided not to do so because of the comfort of a pvr cinema. Alright, the movie , sucked big time, the only good thing about it was the song zara sa, and it as a disgrace to the singer when imraan hashmi lipped it. The acting was sloppy, the story could have been handled much better by a director of such class, a nice song and a hot actress don't make for a good movie, a good script, powerful acting , are key features. Imraan hashmi is a very bad actor, and ugly looking too.People who say this movie is good haven't seen a good movie in a very long time and i kinda feel sorry for them too. my advice, stay away at all costs!
