Kaante

Aroview: From a new generation of Bollywood film-making comes a kinetic heist picture, shot and located in LA in which six Indian suspects plot a revenge bank-robbery after they are victimised in police custody. All goes without a hitch until a police ambush points to a suspected rat in their rank.

Striking all the right poses of the genre, this is shamelessly a Bollywood riff on RESERVOIR DOGS and THE USUAL SUSPECTS et al, but spiced with the ingredients of a ‘masala’ movie, it’s action comes uniquely packed with romance, dance, music, comedy and drama.
