'Monsoon Shootout'
U/A: Crime-thriller
Director: Amit Kumar
Cast: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vijay Varma, Tannishtha Chatterjee
Rating: 

Monsoon Shootout is by no means the end of our search for the ideal chor-police movie. But there is so much going in this compelling, slow-burning, well-enacted tale set in the dark, grimy underbelly of Mumbai that you can applaud the effort of debutant director Amit Kumar. Inspired by the 1987 Polish film, Blind Chance, or rather the more famous 1998 German thriller, Run Lola Run, it narrates the story again, this time in three different scenarios. The city's rains play a pivotal role in it.
