GANGSTER

Finally, after numerous futile attempts of catching this movie, I successfully saw this movie completely... I had heard a lot of good reviews of this movie and the movie did not disappoint me... 


I always believe that the success of the actor lies in the success of the character... If you hate the villain so much that after the movie -- if the villain was in front of you in flesh and blood, then you would not hesitate to separate the flesh from the blood -- then the villain was successful... If you like the lady in the movie so much that you would date / love / marry her without a second thought, she is successful... If you feel like lining up shoulder to shoulder with the protagonist in his mission, irrespective of whether his mission is to defend his country in a war or expose the corruption in a project or elope with his girl, then the actor is successful... 


Thats why I hate the Tej Puri in Monsoon Wedding... Thats why I hate Shrikant Pandit in Astitva... Thats why I feel like getting Bipasha Basu out on bail in Corporate and why I was so sad to see Kareena die in Omkara... I was ready to jump in the battlefield with Hrithik in Lakshya and help out Kajol wiggle her wrist out of Amrish Puri's fist in DDLJ... 


And this movie made me jump out of my seat and somehow, somehow, yell out to Kangana Ranaut about the trap that was being set up for her... Thats why I felt like giving a gun to Shiney Ahuja when he was being beaten up... and I felt like pulling Emraan Hashmi's eyeballs out at the end of the movie... 


When I feel something like this, I know that I liked the movie... Not the actors, but the characters... In fact, S was actually able to see some emotion out of me... She was seen scurrying for a camera but before she could grab her cell, I had come back to my poker face... 


In the meanwhile, my quest for such stirring movies continues... And if you have not seen Gangster yet, catch it soon... Its a good one...
