Spins a tripartite tale around familiar Bollywood obsessions, here reinfused with new life via clever use of a Pulp Fiction structure.

Mani Ratnam's Bollywood feature has a sharp political edge that is rare in Hindi-language films.

3/4

Offers a lot more substance in both content and performance than most films, regardless of the nation of origin; that it is a product of an industry known for candy floss fluff makes it all the more noteworthy.

The kind of juicy, overwrought narrative that was once a Hollywood staple.

Mani Ratnam's hyperlink screenplay is probably the best thing in this film. His direction is equally commendable fusing student politics, romance, American dream, mafias & poverty. Terrific camera work by Ravi Chandran which gives a very raw feel to the film with Rahman's mesmerising score. Also commendable acting by 3 male leads. One great political thriller & Calcutta looks beautiful here.

One of my my most favorite Mani Ratnam Hindi films of all time. The casting was great and Abishek Bachchan's performance made us feel that his character was so damn realistic. The casting was great and the narration simply brilliant.

A bad movie. A not so interesting plot stretched for two and half hours. Unnecessary love angles, mediocre songs shoved in the movie that adds to your misery, technical goofs (rain scenes shot in broad daylight). It follows the style of "Magnolia" or "Babel", of intertwining different story lines. Only positive part is that it is the first time that I have seen a Hindi movie shot in Calcutta.
