''The release of KAANTE, the much-awaited Rs. 40-Crores production, has once again been postpond. The Film was expected to open in theatres on December, 13. Production house Pritish Nandy Communications' (PNC) chairman Pritish Nandy said that the launch date had been rescheduled for December, 20 but even this was tentative. The negative, being processed by Photochem in Los Angles, has not yet been shipped to Mumbai and the technical glitches have been delaying the release of the film."
----- --- The Economic Times.
At last the time comes, and 'Kaante' relaeased. After so many days of anxious waiting, Pritish Nandy Communications' (PNC) and the Makers Sanjay Gupta, Pritish Nandy, Raju Patel produced such a media-hyped exiting film.

This is all about 2.30 hrs. film.

The story is based on a Bank Robbery. Six men all they are Indian, and their mental set up is different. But their intentions is the same, all they are joined together. Who are they? they are Major (Amitabh), Ajju (Sanjay Dutt), Marc Isaak (Suniel Shetty), Andy (Kumar Gaurav), Baali (Mahesh Manjrekar) and Mak (Lucky Ali). They all need money "Paisa woh cheez hai, jiska sabko jarurrat parta hain, yeha se bachhkar kahan jayoge". They identify the target -- the Service Bank. Six men with one goal and a common characteristic, that they can never bring themselves to trust someone, realise that one of them is a traitor, an informant. Who? Why? And what do the other five do about it? That is the main story of the Kaante. Here involvement is great question? Major is involved with his sick wife, Mark is involved with his girl-friend, Andy is involved with his wife, and so on.
They did their job (Bank Robbery) very well, and accurately (how this happens so coolly that is so surprisng, most of the LA police were failed to stop them, but they are fearless.) It can only happened in hindi film, the hindi films is only hero's show. They come out of the Bank robery scratchless, but their internal problem smash themselves. What happened in the next half , want to know the details, go and see the movie.
This is a must watch and enjoy the movie......

 

Here the six lead actors are Amitabh Bachhan, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Kumar Gaurav, Lucky Ali, and Mahesh Manjrekar. First of all "Superstar of the Millennium" Mr. Amitabh Bachhan is undoubtedly one of the most renowned actor in the Bollywood film firmament as well as world today, and his career is used as a benchmark along which many young artistes model their own. Mr. Bachhan's magnificint, magical, masterpiece acting have refused to age with the passage of time. His greatest strength have been his versatality, superb timing, and his baritone voice. Then Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) is quite natural, and he is well fitted in this film. His pose posture and timing is superb. Sometimes we feel that he can also do this in his real life. Basically the film is presents some enigma, everything happened under some enigma. After that little spoken Sunil Shetty, he is well adoptable, and specially sunil is made for this type of role. Veteran Jubilee Star Late Ranjendra kumar's son Kumar Gaurav raised his spirit in his early stage of life, do some romantic film, but at present he cannot leave his shoe, because we know 'every shoe fit not every foot'. He is not good at all. But he is the only gainer in this film. Comic legend Mehmood's son Lucky Ali done his job so so. He is a good composer and singer may be, but acting the less said the better. Special mention has to be made for newcommer Mahesh Manjerekar, who is generally a film director but in this film he proved that acting in his vein. I think many people remembered mahesh, in so many days, as his acting capability, that flourished in this very film.
All the actors are spontaneous, specially mahesh, sanjay and all they are co-ordinate very well.
Anand Raj Anand's music is very catchy and haunting. The musical Anand did their job very well. But one thing is quite unnatural, that i personally feel, in western location why director used such panjabi lyrics based hindi songs . From the all songs I preferred only the song like "Ishq samanddar" "Rama re" & "Yah mangasai". Most of the lyrics have been given in Panjabi and the Cinematography is dazzling. Dialogues
& Screenplay are sometimes very comic and sometimes very fearful and that is well accepted at every places. The sets, outfits and the overall look is fantastic like not all other hindi films, but here U.S.A is the outdoor location where shooted the film. Costumes and finery are exquisite, but sometimes very adultry.
In the First-half the story is with action, romance , comic role etc. and the interval point sound of heavey blow, guns, bombs raises. Moreover, the Second-half is more more action. Some suspense, tragedy, at last ........
Listen, weak hearted people don't go and watch the film.
On the whole, 'kaante' is the film for people who want to see a typical hollywood based film in a hindi format. Before the Christmas eve it may be beneficial for the pictures goers.
Ratings :- 6/10
