Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007)

Lots of guns. Lots of action. Lots of gore.

Here’s a bodycount:

1. The script: It’s stillborn.

2. The songs: Did someone forget to tell the music director that song equals melody?

3. Lyrics: I couldn’t remember a single line 30 seconds after the songs.

4. Acting: Viviek Oberoi acts like Vivek Oberoi. Amitabh acts like Amitabh. Suniel Shetty acts like Suniel Shetty. Sanjay Dutt acts like Sanjay Dutt. In short, everybody tries to act like a star. The only exception is Tushar Kapoor who tries very hard to act like a hood. (Has he even reached the age when he can shave?)

5. Originality: I have never seen a movie in which the ‘inspired from’ factor is so high. American History X and Reservoir Dogs are this director’s favourites.

It’s a pity the director didn’t get shot at in the crossfire. Then again, maybe not. For, that would be mercy killing.

My IMdb rating: 1
