Like Shootout at Lokhandwala, this one too has its share of creatively killing people. In fact, it looks like more time and energy has been spent on 'item numbers' who appear abrupt despite the fact that they are immediately followed by a horny Manya Surve ( John Abraham) at Vidya's ( Kangna Ranaut) door.Įven so, given my aversion to gore and action for the sake of it, if you do enjoy such fight sequences, you might find Shootout at Wadala worth a watch. The romantic track, though important to the film is given too much of a step-sisterly treatment.
The rest of the dialogue is way to filmy with all the mythological, religious and philosophical references. Not that there aren't light moments in the film, but they cater to the kind of people who find a good laugh in abusive language just because it is abusive. But, within what is required of them, they do well.
But, the problem with a film that is so intense in terms of how quickly all the characters get angry, doesn't require too much variety from the actors. The actors do infuse life into the story that runs on for too long. Not that it is something very new, in any case. But the message is too little compared to what you have to sit through in terms of pure noise. There is one slight difference in that it tries to talk about the ineptness of the system that creates gangsters out of good people. Meanwhile, the music seems to have a 80s feel to them, but it hasn't appealed too many. Yet, as always, I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I am expecting nothing less or nothing more than that. We saw some gruesome action in Shootout at Lokhandwala. Then, it all boils down to the atmosphere of the 80s, the dialogue and the manner in which everybody shoots everybody. And when its set in Bombay, it can only be so much different from what we have seen earlier. The problem though is that as far as films are concerned a mafia film is a mafia film is a mafia film. The only intriguing fact remains that the film is based on true life events. The trailer itself points to typical Sanjay Gupta stylisation of fight sequences as John Abraham yells at the top of his lungs. Shootout at Wadala, set in the early 80s sets us up for a crime drama with much too much potential for action.
