99

Powered by: Chakpak.com 99

Director Krishna D.K & Raj Nidimoru's 3rd directorial venture 99 definitely comes as a breath of fresh air more so after the drought of any sensible hindi movie release since the awful multiplex/producer strike has started but how I wish the script was more tighter like that of their earlier movie 'Flavours' which was crisp and humorous and well timed.
Coming back to 99 the movie starts in the year 1999 when having mobile was more of a fad than necessity as incoming call in mobile used to cost money too and the buzz about match fixing in cricket was fast catching up with everyone.
The story revolves around Sachin(Kunal Khemu) & Zaramud(Cyrus Broacha) two conmen who makes duplicate sims for their livelihood and once police got the whiff of their dubious activity they were in a roller coaster ride which lasted til the curtains of the movie drew to an end...
All in all its a film that tells a pretty unique story in a refreshing style that is almost new to Indian cinema. It has plenty of good humor with some very smart ideas that make the entire ride highly entertaining. All the actors(Boman Irani,Soha Ali Khan and Mahesh Manjrekar) delivered a top notch performance so in totality definitely worth a watch.
