Well,I usually don't watch Emran Hashmi films,n was least concerned when this one was released.Recently,our cable operator aired the film,n as I had nothing to do at that time n had heard lot good things abut this one,I decided to give it a try.Gosh!it made me sit from the opening scene till the last one without boring me for a second.I didn't have the patience to watch even the intervening advertisements.
Gangster tells the story of a shooter,Daya(shiny Ahuja),who falls madly in love with a bar dancer,Simran(Kangna ranaut).His evil works make him run from the police n he,along with his lady love land in Seoul.(like many real life goons running to European n middle-east countries).Only to come across a man Akash,(emran hashmi),who is going to change their lives for ever.And his own too.
Oh no!This is not the typical gangster-kills -the other man,or he leaves bad works to live happily ever after kind of the thing,it is something more than that.
The story has been handled very well.the way Anurag Basu unfolds the suspense is worth appreciating.there is not even a single moment where u find yourself sleeping or predicting what is gonna happen next.He tells how a simple story can b made a great film.
I haven't watched much Emran Hashmi films,except for a MURDER n KALYUG,where I found him average actor.And in this one too,he performs decently.He has done his part well,cud do better.
Ah!Kangna Ranaut is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the ladies stripping off their clothes in Bhatt films.She is glamorous,sheds her clothes when required,but she is a very good actress too!Much better than even today's ruling ladies.(some of them).She is the narrator of the story,n she commands the dialogues quite decently.I have seen very few performances from the leading ladies of today,crying as bitterly n as beautifully as she did when her son died.She also makes others realize that doing theater for sometime before coming into films really helps the upcoming actors.The girl needs few good projects,n she will b on her way to the top.She has the potential.
Shiny Ahuja steals the show(along with Kangna I admit).The guy showed promise in HAZAARON KHWAHISHEIN AISI as a young,rich educated Indian.Now he tells us how a calm,composed n loving gangster looks like.His lips open little in the entire film,his eyes do the whole job,n how!He is a definite competitor to all starlets these days.
The music,though its a rip-off,is simply awesome n blends well with the mood of the film.No song is forced unnecessarily in it,n all the songs r picturised well.In fact,become a part of the tory.Pritam's one of the best works.
The director has done a great job.And we hope to see similar films from the Bhatt camp in future.
One of the best films of the year 2006.
My vote-8/10.
