SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
prashanth_s_ This could easily go down as one of the early 90s Tamil movies that had a terrible story and would have easily bombed in the box-office, but was single-handedly rescued by the music director A.R.Rahman. I agree the movie was thrilling and had a lot of action packed in it, but all the key elements of a good Indian masala movie such as mystery, adventure, action and romance, though present in this movie, were not organized properly. In my opinion, the sole reason why people even came to the theaters to watch it was to listen to the music, as opposed to watching the movie itself. I would rate the soundtrack as one of Rahman's finest ever, in addition to Roja, Kadhalan and Rangeela.
navya_hermione Well,this movie was not a great commercial success to mani sir's team,but i think this movie is technically superb.P.C.Sreeram,has don't an awesome job as usual for mani sir,but he used exceptionally good lighting techniques for songs.For the song "koncham nilavu",the lighting techniques were amazing.The story is pretty simple one,it is all about how a bank robbery makes two thiefs,a spy and a rural girl come together.The story was narrated in a simple way,as there is not much seriousness in the topic.This movie would be definitely enjoyed by people who like adventures and stuff like that.The songs are mind blowing in my opinion.though i like A.R.Rahman's compositions but this one is totally unique in my opinion.The song "thee thee"was composed with a mixture of Indian and western genres....is the best song in this movie.In fact,most of the people don't know the fact that,the lighting technique used in this movie was indeed used again in Lagaan-once upon a time in India which was nominated for the Oscars.Finally this one is a typical pop corn movie,and it does not tell any moral values or things like that to you as most of mani sir's movies tell....but it is quite enjoyable.I'd recommend the DVD!!
prasanna Mani Ratnam's adroit transposition of the Butch and Sundance story into a quirky rural setting with a distinctively Indian sensibility is ceaselessly entertaining, if eventually a little too long. You can find in it the major elements of Indian commercial cinema -- set-piece action scenes and dance numbers--but the film distinguishes itself with stylish camera work, superb music and, above all, a deliciously maverick, fantastical tone embellished with sparkling humor, very reminiscent of Terry Gilliam (Monty Python, Time Bandits, Adventures of Baron Munchhausen) in his prime.The film borrows liberally from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", both in letter and spirit. The more-or-less irrelevant plot involves two small-time thieves who inadvertently end up in control of the vast loot resulting from a major heist. Hot on their heels are the original mastermind of the heist, and a frantic police force led by an overweight, deceptively slow detective (S.P. Balasubramanian in the role of his life). Predictable complications ensue, but the pleasure is in the perceptive, droll sense of humor and the Indiana Jones-esque sense of adventure with which the story is told.
hthiess I saw this picture recently and found it not so bad as my pre-commentator. Sure the actors have no character parts, but the story has much action, is quite thrilling and there are sometimes rather funny scenes in it. Music was not to my taste, but the dancing scenes were bombastic and there should have been more of them. Conclusion: only for Bollywood fans!
