Mandar Salvi This Movie is similar genre of the movie "Black Friday (2007)". As considering the star-cast of this movie I honestly didn't expect this movie this good. Brilliant Movie. Very nice and convincing story. Nice Screenplay. Most amazing thing about this movie is its "Background Score". Very nice use of songs in Background score. Songs of this movie are also nice. Brilliant acting by all the actors. But "Irfan Khan" and "Rishi Kapoor" are just above the brilliant. "Arjun Rampal" has also done very nice and different role. Some action scenes are just brilliant. Movie also contains very important message. Thanks to director and dialogue writer for that.Overall, Those who love to watch these kind of movies, This movie is treat for them. Must watch !!! 9 out of 10 stars from my side.
DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK) Rating: 4.9/5 starsNikhil Advani has finally come of age and moved out of the shadows of his larger- than-life mentor (read Karan Johar). After promising a lot in previous efforts, which have ranged from decent to below par, he's finally churned out a film that speaks volumes of his until now dormant talent. In "D-Day" we get a gritty action thriller that would put quite a few Hollywood spy films to shame.The authentic representation of spy operations and the attention to minute details is quite staggering and unprecedented in Indian cinema, at least for a movie of this magnitude. Along with it boasting of quite a few spectacular action scenes and hard-hitting dialogues (dialogue writers Niranjan Iyengar and Ritesh Shah, take a bow), the film is also subtly interwoven with a couple of delicate emotional tracks that literally tear at your heartstrings when their realization is achieved. The movie might have a first-rate and thoroughly researched script (again credit goes to Advani plus his co-writers Ritesh Shah and Suresh Nair), but it wouldn't have struck such a profound impact almost instantly, if it wasn't for Nikhil Advani's spot-on direction that's replete with realistic action and pulsating suspense. However,equal credit for the movie's suspense and action scenes must go to the editing team (Unnikrishnan Payoor Parameswaran and Aarif Sheikh) and stunt director (John Street) respectively. Another reason why the movie looks so realistic and gritty is because of Tushar Kanti Ray spellbinding cinematography.Finally, lets come to the performances, and what marvelous performances they are. Rishi Kapoor is literally a replica of India's most wanted man, while Arjun Rampal is the epitome of a hardcore, taciturn action hero. Huma Qureshi surprises us even further with yet another brilliant act, while supporting cast members like Aakash Dahiya, Shruti Haasan, and Nasser lend plenty of gravitas to the narrative.And finally, its the powerhouse of talent, Irrfan Khan who completely steals the show all the way through, in spite of so many other resounding performances. Whether it be his angst, his emotional trauma, his trepidation, his anguish at not being as skillful as Rampal, his fear and love for his family, his delirious confusion, his patriotic convictions, or his hidden final agenda; the man pulls off one of the most complex characters to ever grace the Indian silver screen with elan and aplomb. Here is an actor who can literally do no wrong."D-Day" is the kind of movie that doesn't come very often, - at least in Bollywood - so don't miss up the opportunity of reveling in it on the big screen. Whether you're an action fan, a fan of suspenseful spy films, or a fan of realistic gritty cinema, this movie has ample reason to be visited again and again. This kind of an action-espionage thriller is a first for Indian cinema and a pure joy for action movie fans all over.
bobbysing Hindi Cinema has not seen many well made, box office successes in the particular genre of spy-thrillers. Hence firstly, D-DAY & its makers deserve a special appreciation just for making a brave choice of this genre alone and then further it needs to be applauded for an exceptional execution which certainly reminds you of many well made foreign movies in the 'World cinema'. Plus its really a pleasant surprise that it's a Nikhil Advani film, the man behind KAL HO NA HO (2003), SALAAM-E-ISHQ (2007), CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA (2009) and PATIALA HOUSE (2011). As speculated, D-DAY is not just another Gangster movie from Bollywood as it may sound looking at its promos. Instead it's actually the first thoughtful film from our makers, which focuses on bringing back the most wanted man to the Indian Territory for justice and simply not interested in glorifying the crime mafia and The Don following the usual norms. Hence it's a welcome change as far as the subject is concerned and further it has been handled too with an equal amount of intelligence and courage.The film begins with a fabulous 10 minutes of a well conceived sequence wherein the Indian RAW agents are just about to meet The MAN, whom they wish to steal away back. And then its fast intercuts, well composed background score and the unusual camera movements simply give you an indication that this is not a routine stuff from the director this time, probably less appealing to the general public. At times the realistic indicative references of the wanted man, his son's big marriage and a renowned cricketer, makes you feel both exciting and scary (particularly the one in the Mosque). The first half has many similar well directed sequences and it truly feels like watching a great spy thriller made in an international style, rarely seen in Indian Cinema.Post intermission, the excellence continues but the pace drops for a while with some avoidable long sequences. The final moments of the film keep you guessing and then it offers a surprising twist leading to a largely satisfying end of a gripping film. But if only, they had taken care of some visible glitches, D-DAY could have become a winning masterpiece of Hindi Cinema undoubtedly.Pointing out its limitations, the basic storyline of the film is quite close to the concept of ZERO DARK THIRSTY (2013) and Shatrujeet Nath's novel titled THE KARACHI DECEPTION, which can entirely be called a fiction with an unimaginable Indian mission, to be imagined in dreams. Secondly, the added sub-plot of Arjun-Shruti love affair is completely forced in to cater the commercial needs of the project, since a hugely dedicated 'Army Officer' would never ideally indulge in such suicidal activities during his important national mission at all. Lastly, the terror of the Most Wanted Man in the first half, goes missing in the later reels and the Don's character becomes more of a caricature type in the concluding hour.However, moving over the above mentioned drawbacks, technically it's truly a well executed film made with some brave and honest intentions. Following an extremely quality narrative, not normally seen in our Hindi Cinema, D-DAY is sure going to impress the classes more than the masses. The art department never lets you feel the sets and that's exactly what an art director is trying to do in his given job. The camera-work reminds you of many well made international projects and never gives you the feel of watching a typical Hindi film. The writing and dialogues contributes a lot, except in the last hour where in the writers slightly go over imaginative and too easy in the final border crossings.The music section adds a new dimension to the film (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) with a worth listening Qawwali "Mera Murshad Khele Holi" heard after a long time and a well composed, written & sung track, "Alvida". In addition there is Rekha Bhardawaj superbly singing "Ek Ghadi" to complete an appreciable soundtrack by the trio.In the performances, once again we have Rishi Kapoor continuing his enjoyable journey of re-discovering the hidden actor, forgetting his own famous lover boy image of the past. It really takes guts to think of him as The Don, but the veteran does look, act and behave like him on the screen, quite astonishingly. Yet, I do wish the director should have emphasized on the terror factor more in the second half.As the RAW agents, Irrfan repeatedly gives a stunning performance caught in the dilemma, especially towards the end. Arjun surprises with an extremely intense performance, particularly excelling himself in the song 'Alvida'. Huma confidently manages to find her decent space standing in between the towering performers and Shruti Haasan shows another glimpse of her unexplored talent as the prostitute.In the supporting cast, Sriswara is a great revelation and both Aakash Dahiya and Chandan Roy Sanyal leave a lasting impact along with Nasser. K.K. Raina, Nissar Khan and Sandeep Kulkarni act well in their supporting acts but Rajpal Yadav was a wrong choice to begin the film as a singer.Altogether, D-DAY does have its own share of hiccups and some usual commercial insertions to make it more viable. Still, it remains the most innovative, well structured and well shot spy movie from Bollywood, surely deserving appreciation from the lovers of this particular genre. But it also has a strange contradiction as I felt, since the most impressive & emotionally moving sub-plot in its script (of Arjun- Shruti), also happens to be the only unwanted insertion in the movie as per its genre. And without it, D-Day would have been a totally focused and taut, high energy, fast paced, thriller unarguably.Hence with that strange paradox, I would like to recommend watching D- DAY as a must since this is indeed the next step in making GANGSTER movies thoughtfully taken by Bollywood.
