My Rating 2/5
Director: Neeraj Pandey
These days the movie business has become a B-Plan which has an excellent commercial success rate and hence every Tom, Dick and Harry is venturing into it resulting into a zillion number of production houses yielding equal number of movies. So, generally people apply the "Good Director" formula in selecting a movie. And when it goes like "From the Director of A Wednesday and Special Chabbis", people would hardly have second thoughts. So most people got into this one with great expectations.
It starts on that tone, that very fast paced style of story telling which made us fall in love with this guy, Neeraj Pandey. But as they say, do not judge a movie by the first half itself. In terms of pace, the first half does well and keeps the audience hopeful that they are in for some serious climax twists. Something which never comes across. They start although with the cliched idea of a "Secret Organization" of the government to deal with the spread of terrorism in the nation. Sad part being that they could not add anything new to it.
The Plot of the movie is very much broken down to bits and pieces each of them resembling to some or the other Hollywood action flick. A major chunk of the first half revolves around getting a guy from Nepal to India so that some information can be hacked from him which he easily submits to at the end. It's like flying all the way to the USA to have a bite at the Burger King in spite of knowing the fact that the same stuff is now available in Saket. Pure shit.
Talking of the art of using "Good Actors" to enhance the credentials of the movie, you get a gem like actor KK in your movie and then give him like five minute of screen time of which he speaks for like 30 seconds, what the hell, its like Cinematic Sacrilege for crying out loud! Then they attempt to airlift a terrorist from a foreign land without intimating the country. But the whole act comes out as so dumb at the end that it stands no where to the original Argo! Ironically at the end you do remember the punchline of Argo and dedicate it to the makers of Baby, "Go F**k Yourself!"
