ZINDA

Name: Zinda
Starring : Sanjay Dutt, John Abraham & Lara Dutta
Rating: ****

A slickly edited thriller, with a unique story line that keep you guessing till the very end. Powerful acting by Sanjay Dutt..very ably supported by John Abraham and surprisingly, Lara Dutta.

Thankfully, the movie has a minimal musical score which is nicely interwoven in the movie. The love making scene between Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta, which was expected, has been treated well, and for the first time I think the Director can stand proud and say "The script demanded it"...unlike the proliferating movies..where sex is used to sell the movie.

When the intermission happens..you get a feeling of incompleteness and are not really able to comprehend the story..which seems to be moving...but not fast enough...every time you expect something to happen, nothing does..

The intermission seemed more like a requirement of the cinema hall (so that they could sell their refreshments!!) rather than an actual turning point in the story.

This is a story which all comes together in the end...till then the viewer is kept guessing.

The verdict : Must watch.
