An interesting film ripped off from Reservoir Dogs is worth watching. On the downside, it thrives on notorious/foul language. It's a shame that Bollywood has to take assistance of filthy communication to make hit films. In the big starcast, Amitabh Bachchan... Full review

As many would say, a rip-off. I don't mind watching rip-offs if they are well made. Kante is a mediocre film that takes support of vulgar language to attract audience. The question comes, would Kaante be the same commercial success without... Full review

Hoping the Kaante magic continues.
KAANTE had a handful of superstars who had set the screen on fire with their magnificent performance.
KAANTE was a successful hit, so Sanjay Gupta is taking utmost care to select the stars for the sequel.

Shot entirely in LA and loaded with flashy lighting, camera and post-production techniques, Kaante represents the most dedicated attempt yet to get westerners dancing to the Bollywood beat.
KAANTE SYNOPSIS: Six strangers are thrown together in a jail holding cell in L.A. All are Indian migrants who have either fallen foul of the law or are desperately short of cash.

It will be an original script.
Saath will be completely original," promises Gupta.
A sort of dead-man walking situation with characters from the original being resurrected.
The problem is, all the protagonists in the original died," confesses Gupta.

Overall, Kaante should do exceptionally well all over because of its novel content and technique.
The look of the film is consistent and can be best described in one word - brilliant.
For a change Sunil Shetty has given a wonderful performance.

On the technical side, "Kaante" isn't anything to write home about, but then its sleazy, cut-rate look and feel is actually appropriate to the potboiler that it is.
That's what the makers of "Kaante" are hoping India's mass audience is eager to see, and while the Hindi-speaking film industry is looking to the much-delayed movie to give it a boost, it shouldn't count on any crossover appeal.
