silvan-desouza The Usual Suspects(1995) was a superb thriller, which won critical acclaim. In 2002, Sanjay Gupta copied the first half from it and made KAANTE and rest from Reservior Dogs. While in the same year 2005, Anubhav Sinha borrowed Kevin Spacey's role from that film and made DUS.That film kept the climax revelation also same, wherein Pankaj Kapur was actually a terrorist acting like someone else. Finally Vivek Agnihotri decided to remake the film and that too unofficially. The film borrows almost 70% from that film and rest is Bollywood stuff. In the original, Kevin Spacey was the only character revealing the story, here we have an added romantic interest Tanushree Dutta. The film tries to be different too, instead of convicts in the original here we have wannabe musicians. The film tries too hard to look cool, we have actors imitate Hollywood styles. In that film An agent interrogates Kevin, here we have Anil play an egoistic lawyer, who acts like a retard many times. There is sex, sleaze everything forced in. There are scenes copied like the interval scene, the boat scene, also the end is almost similar though changed in the indianised version. The film has several loopholes like Suneil Shetty suddenly screaming that he is Murtaza Arzai for no reason. Keazer Soze is changed to Murtaza Arzai with the similar background storyDirection is decent though it's ruined due to the film being a hotchpotch version of the original. Music by Pritam is decent, Jhuki Jhuki,Halka Halka,Mummy, Bheega Bheega sa are all good songs and well picturisations(though mostly aping English songs), Khalish is a good song yet forcedAmongst actors, all mostly try to copy Hollywood style of acting Anil Kapoor does well as Krish Pandit in his own style though his accent seems odd, also he overdoes at times to show eccentric nature of the character. Irrfan Khan is awesome in the role played by Kevin Spacey, Suneil Shetty does his part well, though his accent too jars, Arshad Warsi and Emraan Hashmi are wasted in small roles, Tanushree Dutta in her second film is okay, her voice dubbed by Pallavi Joshi doesn't suit her, Sushma Reddy is okay Raj Jhutsi overacts, rest are all okay The film has weird names for characters like Rocker, Pipi.etc

ashokli While it is fairly obvious that the movie is blatantly adapted from the classic "Usual Suspects", its narration makes it impossible to understand what's going on and where the story starts or ends.Individual characters seem to appear, disappear, die and become alive without any obvious reason or time-line. The lawyer Krishna Pandit (Anil Kapoor) goes in and out of scenes acting as if he owns the movie but does nothing more than rave and rant. In one scene he gets an 80 page fax thats spitting out at the speed of a high speed photocopy machine and we never know what it contains or why its important.The only cute thing in the movie is Monsoon but she does not have much to do.

shomen At the outset, let me make myself very clear on 2 issues. The Usual Suspects is my all time favorite movie and originality is a dying art in Bollywood.Now for the real issue. What was the dimwit director of this dumbass movie thinking of when he thought he had "conceived the idea" to make a movie? Did he think ripping off a Hollywood masterpiece without any admission of guilt would endear himself to the viewing public? Or, even worse, did he have the audacity to think that no one in the viewing public would have the intellect to understand the original masterpiece? Maybe he made it for the "masses" and thought he was attempting something "different". However, the director must have forgotten that despite the waning excitement got out of foreign locales, the "masses" will rarely warm up to a movie shot entirely in the UK. The least he could've done was to have "Indianised" the entire movie in all ways. Then again, an escapist director would always find the easiest way out right?! The only reason I have given this stinker of a movie the 2nd star is because instead of making me boil with anger it made me laugh out loud at the pathetic attempt in futility to create a movie!

Dead_Immortal This is the Best Indian Movie I saw this Year. The Story was perfect. You won't be able to Guess anything (if you haven't watched TUS)Well basically I saw the movie last night. I couldn't really stop watching it. even though I had my Exams today.But Once I reached the End I was Exceptionally satisfied with the End. However I started having a Bad feeling about the movie. I have this sort of feeling when I watched other movies too. Somehow I guessed that it was a clone of TUS though I never Saw TUS in my whole life but I am craving to watch the movie. (Just like the time I saw Saaya before Dragonfly) And Guess what. Today I was reading the Reviews and found many people saying it's a clone.Anyways I would still recommend the movie to all Viewers Indian and foreign. It's really worth your money.
