Madras Cafe: A realistic take on the life of spies and RAW agents. Its not really as stylish and bed of roses as depicted by Bond et al. And they don't always win. And it must be scary to know that one wrong movie on your part, the country's defense can be compromised. Madras Cafe is a tale of the Tamil surge in SriLanka, rise of LTTE and the subsequent side effects ending in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. Its a docudrama, showing most true incidents that happened behind one of India's most tragic events. A taut script, fantastic BG score and wonderful direction makes Madras Cafe nearly the best movie of the year. And after somewhile I really enjoyed a John Abraham performance. More than anything, hats off to John for producing this movie. All Kashyaps, Motwanes watch out, cause Shoojit Sircar really knows how to make serious topics in mainstream. And his Journo background must have held him in good stead while making this.
