special 26 has an idiotic climax. This director's almost every movie is overrated.
what? which bit? It actually happened, btw.
don't see much deviation from the story *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_Opera_House_heist
oh wow 8.2 on IMDB, and I totally agree. Guess one explanation is that there were absolutely no good movies by bollywood at that time. Hawaizaada was fun, nice sets but was too fantastic to be seen as a real story. Badlapur was just horrible fantasies, the censor board should ban movies like this which have nothing but deviance and blatant exploitation, the worst crime being that it was badly made and had absolutely nothing to offer even in subtext. Ab Tak Chappan 2.. Actually good, but again it is a fantasy, and not a good update on... uh, the forces we are mentally fighting. And Hunterr... now that was good, really good, not at all like the trailers, and I think it was just the title sequence that got the A certificate. This is actually a child friendly sex comedy, but guess it was marketed too cheesily for people to go watch it.
In the middle of all this, Baby was real. It was almost like MI, a hollywood film. It had heroes from north and south, and it was a somewhat more realistic and grounded portrayal of agency operations, using accurate terminology and without exaggerating the capabilities of those involved. Not saying it was real, even hollywood can be dumb here, but it was more real than usual. Anupam Kher being the old seasoned hacker was fun, especially when transferring files onto a USB drive from a laptop is not the most overblown cgi sequence in the movie. So I guess, Baby was appreciated for deviating a lot within the formula.
