Re: Special 26

movie review:

Neeraj Pandey’s last cinematic outing, “A Wednesday“, was an imaginative film that twisted and turned as the plot unwound, giving movie watchers a fresh new experience. His latest, “Special 26″, is not of the same calibre but is passably enjoyable fare. Inspired from a real-life jewellery heist, the film tells the story of fraudsters who con powerful men into parting with their ill gotten wealth.

For the first time in a long while, Akshay Kumar actually acts in a movie. As leaders of the gang of theieves, Akshay and Anupam Kher put in a great performance, full of charm and guile. Manoj bajpayee, as the CBI officer chasing after them is super effective, his commanding presence filling up the screen. The story unspools in the 1980s and the chase between the cop and the thieves takes us on a trip down memory lane.

The cinematographer brings to life the landscape of Delhi, showing a Connaught Place filled with brand names that have faded from memory. Hatchback Marutis criss-cross the streets, and Anupam Kher shows the bafflement of a generation that doesn’t understand new technology. The slapstick which has become a hallmark of Akshay Kumar movies is thankfully missing and the humor is instead very subtle. The only weak link here is the romance between Akshay and Kajal Aggarwal, which does nothing for the story.

The final word on the movie: Special 26 is not a masterpiece but go watch it if you would like to pass the time and have fun doing it.

Re: Special 26

I saw it, and liked it! The romance angle wasn't at all necessary but the movie was good.
Funny in bits. Good tempo.

Re: Special 26

The songs are so nice

Re: Special 26

I liked the song akshay sang himself

Re: Special 26

The movie was awesome

Akki rocked the same old Akki of the 90's and Anupam Kher and Manoj was just brilliant

The last 15minutes was just superbbbbb

Re: Special 26

pretty good movie overall... a decent Akshay movie after ages! great acting by all actors.
also, since the movie was situated in the 80s, I was able to relate to a few places in Delhi... it was kinda nostalgic actually.

Re: Special 26

I'll see your Oceans 13 and raise you Special 26

Re: Special 26

Aap delhi se hain ya lahore se?

Re: Special 26

its a good movie....

Re: Special 26

The film is inspired in a real-life heist on March 19, 1987 where a group posing as CBI officers executed an income tax raid on the Opera House branch of Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri in Mumbai.

Re: Special 26

both actually... dad from Lahore, mom from Delhi.

Re: Special 26

I love heist movies. I've seen pretty much all the good ones from the 1980's onwards (not bollywood). So will definitely watch this one. Better not disappoint with dramatic Rajnikanth type nonsense that Akshay has been doing in some of his movies recently.

Re: Special 26

for a change, there's none of that... go for it Huma.

Re: Special 26

achi film thi, zara hut kay story thi… for sure sequel hona chahiye hai :chai:

Re: Special 26

v v good movie....was totally superb and entertaining...all acted sooo well specially anupam...his expressions and style were so different n good in both characters.....based on a true story made it more interesting......surely one of the best releases of 2013....kajals role was unnecessary and it would not have made any difference if her part was not in the film.
