BABY When I saw the poster of the movie, it seemed to be yet another action movie with some loose plot and over the top unreal action which satiates the patriot inside us. Well, I was very much relieved to experience Bollywood casting off its cliches. 1) The fight as well as the torture sequences were realistic with little melodrama. 2) The plot had sequential sub-plots which were important and laid a good backing to the story as well as provided importance to the characters individually. 3) No grand entries to main characters. All was in seam. For those wondering, the character of Anupam Kher was introduced in the last hour of the movie. 4) The cliche of a girl trying to save herself from a villain while the hero comes to save her was removed in a very exuberant manner. You are in for a glorious treat. ;) 5) Surprisingly, the first half of the movie had no comic elements and the second half was full of it. Usually it happens the other way round. 6) The climax of the movie will remind you of the climax of Argo. ;) However very clinical in its approach of showcasing terrorism, processes and people behind it, it does have flag-waving elements when it comes to patriotism. At least for me, it is something we need at the moment. It also contains subtle messages which may seem controversial but are sourced from real situations prevailing in the country. An overly stretched movie by standard, it does have some very boring and unwanted bits. A good weekend-watch considering the patriotic occassion, you should watch it for its non-Bollywoodish treatment in the action genre. 3.5/5
