ShangLuda Admirable film.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
varghesejunior This is a good film to watch if you wanna see some real action.Story is about an army colonel and a Mumbai ACP who, after years of separation over misunderstandings, are forced to work together again due to circumstances to fight a group of terrorists from Pakistan who hijack a plane to get their arrested leader released from Indian prison.The good - Full of action and stunts, some songs, Acting on both Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan's part, some hilarious and hard hitting dialog delivery, the cinematography.The bad-the plane hijack which was poorly coordinated, a little weak editing, some overacting on the actors part.Otherwise the film is good.
Avinash Patalay I am not a great fan of Abhishek but it was this movie that made me to start noticing him seriously. The main storyline is anti-terrorism keeping in line with success of movies like Pukaar, Gadar, Hero etc. The main protagonist Abhishek shouldering a failed past is ACP Jai who has been assigned the mission to curb the terrorists and bring them to task. Joining him on this mission is his ex-boss Ajay Devgan in a smaller role as a head-strong and strict disciplinarian miming Al Pacino. He does not have a heroine (good - Bollywood is coming of age!). Bipasha plays Abhishek's love-interest and is Air-hostess by profession (reason: climax!).The action scenes are a definite highlight and do match Hollywood standards.The climax is inspired from Air-India hijacking episode and could have been enhanced if Die Hard 2 was made as a bench-mark. What about Abhishek - yes, he is definitely improving. He gives a restrained performance in scenes lamenting of his failed past (reminisces of BigB in Kala Patthar). And Kajol, please take a dentist appointment for your hubby.Taking into account that its directors debut movie, which is not too bad for a beginner and compared to the shoddy movies pouring in dozens, Zameen does have a few interesting points which make it watchable.Verdict: A poorly marketed movie which otherwise had good potential.
Dave Abbott Zameen has a very interesting story, has some terrific acting by Ajay and Abhishek, great photography, and good music. Unfortunately it also had a lot more that seriously detracted from the film. I generally love the songs and dances in Indian film but felt that at least two of them were out of place and lessened the impact of everything that went before it. The car crashes were completely unnecessary to the plot and looked fakey and unrealistic. Bibasha was mere window dressing and there were times where I felt her affect was inappropriate to a specific scene. She was great in Jism and in a supporting role in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai but needed better direction here. The propagandizing went a little overboard at times and, for those who do not know what P.O.K. is, it refers to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir since the initials are referred to several times but never spelled out until close to the end of the movie. Despite the negatives, I would still have to give the film 7/10 although, without them, it could have easily received a 9.
AishFan From the previews, I was expecting another great Ajay Devgan flick. However, Ajay's role is not that powerful. The protagonist is actually Abhishek Bachchan. Bipasha's role is pretty insignificant. There are a lot of extraneous scenes before the actual plot begins to take shape. The climax is the saving grace of this film.
