In the Bollywood tradition of reimagining familiar
films, Sanjay Gupta's Kaante takes a heaping
helping of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs
and a dash of Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects
and turns them into a delirious musical heist caper.
What's significant about Kaante, aside from its
conspicuous lack of romance, is its distinction
as the first masala film to be shot entirely in
the U.S. with an American crew and intended for
international release.
The film stars 60-year-old Amitabh Bachchan, the
godfather of Indian cinema, acting alongside an unusual
hunk-less mix of Indian stars. Critics noted that
the film's eight-million-dollar budget, huge by
Bollywood standards, bought producers very little
in the U.S., giving the film a less-polished look
than some of its Indian-made counterparts. |
