It could have been better

Film: Kidnap (Hindi)

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, Minnisha Lamba

Direction: Sanjay Gadhvi

In the yet another violent fare that Bollywood has dished out, director Sanjay Gadhvi doesn’t disappoint. He manages to keep the pace he mastered with the “Dhoom” series. His premise is simple. A youngster with a troubled childhood kidnaps the daughter of a business magnate. Now the tycoon is under his command. He gives the father some clues to track his daughter. These clues hook you, and after that Imran Khan and Sanjay Dutt take you over.

Yes, there are loopholes in the plot. In the action sequences Dutt’s body double is quite perceptible, but the film unfolds at such a pace that you give reality a miss. This masala entertainer could have been better had it been edited with a little more precision. The climax takes a little long in coming. Still, worth a watch during the festival week.
