Namrata Joshi Outlook 01/09/2019
2/4
Even the love-making is tortuous and unpalatable. In retrospect, the brutality and gruesomeness in Zinda makes the violence in James seem tame and juvenile. Watch it to know the definition of gratuitous gore. Go to Full Review

A pedal-to-the-metal Bollywood crimer. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
If you've seen the original, don't watch this. If you haven't seen either, watch Oldboy - this is strictly for Bolly aficionados. Go to Full Review

Zinda (Alive) isn't quite as gripping or as flamboyant as it should be. Go to Full Review

08/29/2012 bad remake of oldboy !!! 2 stars for john&sanjay dutt See more 03/09/2012 The Indian adaptation of "Old Boy" ... For me I adored Old boy from its beginning ..however in Zinda .. I was touched by the leads more than I had by the old boy leads ... Music was way sensational in zinda ... the plot was a little more logical than the original in old boy . To sum things up Zinda was not as good as Old boy ... HOWEVER... Zinda had way better leads, music and plot... Zinda is a revolutionary attempt to change the cinema industry of Bollywood... That in my opinion is well recognized and respected. See more 03/09/2012 The Indian adaptation of "Old Boy" ... For me I adored Old boy from its beginning ..however in Zinda ..

See more 08/07/2010 Rofl@this wannabe Oldboy. See more 03/31/2010 Although Sanjay Gupta's ZINDA is a frame to frame copy of OldBoy, but its excellent narrative and re-written screenplay makes its even better than OldBoy. The Narrative of Oldboy was highly confusing while Zinda has right way of telling the story. It also has a new story and even dramatic too. Now I can't tell the story because you have to watch its screenplay. Sanjay Dutt as Balajeet Roy is magnification because his personality is outstanding for the character. John Abraham as Rohit Chopra is a billionaire in-seek of vengeance, he made Bala locked in for 14 years in a private jail and suddenly sets Bala independent. Now Bala has some questions:- * Why he was imprisoned? * Why he wasn't killed? * Why he is now free now? Basically why he is ZINDA (Alive)? Story has a handful of characters, Lara Dutta, Raj Zutshi and Mahesh Majrekar, but they all do justice this masterpiece. On technical level its good as Sanjay Gupta himself! Brilliant Art Direction, nearly colorless and dark. Awesome music and background score. Almost a well made a product. But above all, the direction by Sajay Gupta is fantastic even he has ripped scene too but excellent narrative hides it all. Its a must watch for moviegoers and who love dark side of cinema.
