This is not the usual Amir brilliance stuff . He is bold and gutsy to experiment with new themes and has usually succeded well .
Great movie but a bit too long. First half could have been tighter. Full marks to Cinematographer - close shots , romantic panoramas, dynamic action sequences to eyes of Amir to Amir's cherubic smile , all have been beautifully captured. The theme and the story is new , but background score is not - seems we have heard it before .
Amir is a world class actor in India , the extent of detailing he has put in his character makes the movie a sure watch.But Javed Ali's voice in Guzarish did not suit Amir . He had better options.
7 Last sequence belabors .Of course we could have done without Jiah Khan's item number and Jiah as medical student. Asin does full justice to expectations from her role and comes up with a wide range of emotions rather than just giggle and look pretty. She is assertive, naughty, doe-eyed romantic, unsure, scared, and bubbly.
Action sequence are a must watch. Avoid your school going kids to the movie if you want to keep them away from blood, gore and violence.
One gets the feeling of having seen that sequence earlier, throughout the movie .We knew when cell-phone ring would would play a spoil sport and end could have been twisted better rather than offering "feel-good" solution
