One thing you can't help but admire about this movie are the one liners. What we call a punch dialog, but one too many. Overdose of the "punches".
The plot of the movie is loosely based on the life of Haji Mastan and Dawood ibrahim. A kid from chennai making it big in smuggling industry (Haji Mastan) and getting overthrown by a son of constable who began his criminal life at a railway station ( Dawood Ibrahim kaskar). Ajay Devgan as Sultan Mirza excels, watch him in the scene where he remembers his past as a child working at a coal mine. The intensity in eyes is just unforgettable. Emran hashmi as shoaib does a good job, but I felt that character could have been more intense if a traditional gangster ( like sanju baba or for that matter randeep hooda himself). But the climax was lame. The train scene was just illogical.
All in all, its not a cult gangsta movie like Satya, but at the same time not as bad as D, or other such forgettable gangsta movies.

Inception
When was the last time I came out of the theater with a total disbelief and in total silence, and with a thought that I should book the next show ticket too, never before. 12:16 AM to 3:00 AM I was watching this movie without blinking my eye. If anybody had any doubts that Christopher Nolan was a genius in film making, those doubts will be put to rest. If you guys ever thought why Christopher Nolan was so highly rated, go watch this movie you will know.
The movie is about planting an idea in somebody's mind, by getting into their dream. A concept that seems so implausible, but the terms like the kick, the tudor, the limbo, are so real that you can relate all of your dreams to these. Di-Caprio again gets a role of life time and delivers it with a punch.
I saw some of the critics calling it slow( and trust me this comment just makes me laugh), as usual the Mob against the Genius( Nolan ) fight continues. I wouldn't be scared to rate this movie 10/10, and call it the movie of the millennium, the most complex, intriguing, movie ever made.

Twilight Eclipse
So I wanted to check out what makes ladies stand in line from 5 PM for a 12:01 AM movie show ( please note, i have not got the timing wrong, sorry for writing in double negation, but just too frustrated at this moment). And believe me, when somebody says its difficult to read a women's mind, the twilight eclipse just proves him genius.
Were the performances bad? well I got to say no, its just that there was nothing to perform. If there was anything good about the movie it was the end credits, when I finally thought the torture is over.
