Honestly, most people find this movie trashy and hard to understand. That's what i thought when I first watched it. But the second time around, I began to realise the subtleties. The music by Vishal and Shekhar absolutely kicks butt, and the fast-paced storyline keeps the audience constantly engaged. the story arcs are wonderfully scripted and directed, while the character development is light, yet leaves an impact. The humour is outstanding, and some the scenes, such as the boatmanagers description of Ajay Devgn, and the engine-starting-fiasco, are all hilarious. Kudos to Anubhav Sinha for producing a movie that leaves the audience questioning what happens next in the movie at each scene.

A horrible film. Simply horrible. Much worse than might be expected of a cast, most of whom have at least played a few really good roles in their lives. My expectations weren't particularly high, and I definitely didn't expect a masterpiece; but even truckloads of popcorn can't turn this movie into something remotely entertaining. I did my very best to follow the story somehow, in spite of its (to put it gently) fragmentary beginning. After that, however, all sense is lost completely, until nobody knows anymore who is chasing whom and what for. Utter chaos. The animated sequences that somehow manage to amuse in the beginning, become irritating soon. I have a strong impression that the director of this movie tries to imitate Oliver Stone's manners, but whereas Stone uses them as a means to convey something, in this case it's nothing but tricks. Add a few misplaced comic sequences to the mix, lots of action sequences that would have worked if we knew at least what they are about, and there you have it. It looks like they tried damned hard to conceal a lack of budget and a lack of script, but failed on both accounts. Expect for the title song, which is sort of funny, the songs aren't worth mentioning either. The background score is better, in my opinion. As for the acting: Ajay: not bad, but nothing particularly good either.Zayed: how is it possible that this actor keeps on playing in movies, despite an obvious lack of talent? Ritesh: a nice role and well performed. The most bearable part in the whole movie, if you ask me.Sunil: completely colorless, which is a pity, because he's too good an actor for this type of junk. Esha: never liked her until I saw "Darling"; not too bad in this movie, I'd say. Diya: hard to say. I like her, but I don't know why myself. Shamita: it took me a while before I was sure this wasn't Shilpa, but Shilpa's younger sister. They are very similar to each other, in the same way as Kareena and Karisma are. Not so bad either.

cash is complete waste of time and money...there no story line to describe..people got confuse as to what was happening in the movie..and some stunts r something which no one can do practically in real life.zayed,sunil,ritesh all r showing off their clothes and glasses through out the movie..specially Zayed khan don't know how to act in films..i was expecting a good story from them as their movie "dus" had at least some good music and storyline..this time they didn't suceeded in making the public come in cinema halls....everywhere u go this movie is getting bad review..yesterday i lost 3 hours of my life watching this...oh my god!!!! don't waste Ur hard earn money on this one..

Once again I found myself in TOP 3 the only multiplex (with AC no less) in Bhavnagar and in the midst of a cultural battlefield not only between my South Bombay urban sensibilities and what can best be described as a city that losing the battle to be Urban, but also among the different kinds of people within the same theatre.The differences between the gold (Rs 75 on weekends ) and Silver (Rs. 50) which i hadn't noticed in the last movie (Krissh) I saw there were now apparent to me, the lines of Gutkha that run between the rows of seats in the silver class are a legacy that the so called "PUBLIC" leave behind, that clearly demarcates the differences between the two kinds of people within the same theatre.The movie was house-full and the whistles just before the movie started assured me that even though i had close to no expectations from this movie (bored on a Sunday in another city), thanks to the excitement around me i would at least not be bored in this film.And this movie started well enough with the occasional splash on animation that has been inspired, but a great change. The animations were kind of cool and humorous at the same time and my expectations were going up.At the same time i was getting a bit confused maybe this movie was being made for the urban audience, WHAT WITH THE ALL English TITLES AND SUBTITLES AND THE HEAVY USAGE OF English WITH ENTIRE DIALOGUES IN English.The movie went along at a fine pace, with the planning of a big heist, some great camera work,some decent animation, good songs, and a nice dose of humour, AJAY DEVGAN LOOKED ABSOLUETELY HIDEOUS but that was fine.The movie made a slow steady climb uphill and then the plateau came..THE HIEST was an altogether confusing yet entertaining experience amid loud catcalls and whistles, scene after scene that were really there to dazzle the audiences, NO LOGIC HERE and this was when the movie truly moved on to front bencher territory, nobody who has watched even 2 or 3 good heist films (even dhoom for that matter ) was going to be able to find logic in the absurd events that followed.To their credit though the ritiesh scene, and the Ajay Devgan scene was actually good even by my high standards.YET THE OBSESSION WITH English CONTINUED MORE AND MORE DIALOGUES WERE BEING RECITED IN English, and so were the subtitles, no one wore a single Indian dress in the whole film not even in the songs, at this point of time i was seriously getting confused, for whom after all was this movie being made for.Then the second half started and semblance of logic was flushed away, THE MARKED MONEY TRACK WAS ESPECIALLY DISGUSTING.The questions about the target audience were clearly replaced by WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??? Animation that seemed cool in the first half was abused beyond compare, esha looked hideous, Ajay looked worse if possible, there still was time for some songs....If the urban audience was the target they clearly got it all wrong.But still there were some things going for the movie, DIYA MIRZA LOOKED SMOKING HOT, THE SONGS WERE GOOD AND ESPECIALLY WELL PICTURISED, the one liners were especially good and the constant dry, as well as slapstick humour was always entertaining.The scene with blowing money was especially well picturised. Acting was good throughout with no one really doing a bad job, most of the junior actors (though they've been around for 5 rs or more) still need lots of work, even then TECHNICALLY THIS MOVIE WAS VERY GOOD but still a notch below trend-setters like Don and Dhoom 2 (Especially don).So why the not so bad rating..For starters for whatever reasons i actually got how much i expected form this movie and enjoyed it in parts ANY MOVIE MEETING TIME PASS SPECIFICATIONS DESERVES A 5 (im sure the crowd had something to do with it).What i was told by my local friend however summed up the movie for me in the other sides eyes (even though we were in gold)."Mujhe Kuch Samajh Mein Nahin Aaya, Phir Bhi Mazaa Aaya, scene scenery, Maja Masti aur fighting Badiya Tha Haaauun", translated "I didn't understand anything but still i enjoyed it the scene-scenery (cinematography), Maja Masti (chicks in gujrat maja-masti is always something to do with chicks be it talking or other activities), and the stunts/action scenes were very good (the haauun is the standard anding phrase is gujrat its like a nasal ho).Im not sure you want to watch this movie because if your on this forum you probably fall in my category of viewer.Watch with caution at cheap rates if you have to watch it.-s NO LOGIC, abuse of animation, to much English, pathetic script.+/-s maja-masti, scene scenery.+s good songs and picturisation, a couple of great scenes, good humour.total 5/10 (on absolute terms even and considering it met the very low expectations, if you have slightly more upmarket sensibilities than i do, then this is definitely a NO).
