I love this movie so much
Good concept, poorly executed.
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Neeraj Pandey's Special 26 is an amazing drama thriller film which challenge the classic genre movies to be the part of it.The main key points to watch this movie are: 1. Script: Brilliant and Intelligent script by Neeraj Pandey after A Wednesday is the key point of the movie.2. Direction: Again, Excellent and Perfect direction by Neeraj Pandey has made it watchable again and again and again..............................3. Acting: Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee, jimmy sheirgill and Anupam Kher with a very large number of supporting casts has done it!!!!!! 4.Cinematography & Background score: Remember, It is a PERIOD film. so the role of Cinematographer is very important to feel the audience that it actually happens in 1987. And the Background score is another key point to the film which feels the thrill that what is going.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY HUMAN BEING AROUND THE WORLD
A well written and ill executed film.For most of the time, people are walking in the film and that too as if in stop motion, where the slow motion comes and disturbs the interest. The climax is more or less predictable just that it had a few hints by the end and an avid film goer might have predicted it. OK, the performances are good and I must say, post MOHRA this is the first film of Akshay Kumar I had seen in theatre and I was actually happy as it did not have fights or unwanted action sequences and instead had some brain thing. Thanks to Neeraj Pandey for not putting heavy action sequences for Akshay Kumar. Manoj Bajpai and Anupam Kher fared well. Kajal Agarwal was not needed at all, and this could have been better if the romantic track and those songs were not there. Coming to Neeraj Pandey, the director I was very disappointed, coz post Wednesday, it gave some hope that this man may churn out some non commercial flicks and would raise the bar, but he disappointed me with the song dance number, and the love track that made me just wait to go to the real plot. It was written with a good intent but it just did not fit in as a whole. Technically, the best thing is the meticulous production design of the Mumbai and other places of the 1980's and for this itself I would give an award to Sunil Babu. The editing falls flat and please cut off 30-45 minutes and increment the pace by making the walking as they are and take off the slow motion and for 75 minutes, you will get a wonderful ride otherwise it made a just above average flick. The time of nearly 135 minutes was made for the sake of making and I did not see any real purpose behind that. A generous 2/5 for a well designed film more than anything else. Neeraj, you disappointed me big time, need to see what you got up your sleeve next.
Special 26 is a rare film in Bollywood. It boast of a superstar Akshay Kumar but in the movie, the script is the king and the director tells a fabulous tale.Based on some events of high profiles raids by some fake Govt officials in the 1980s, the movie starts off beautifully. And its a joy ride to be precise with a deadly cat and mouse game as the climax. Its less about guns and violence and more about two brilliant men trying to outwit each other without a bit of violence. The men in question are Akshay Kumar and Manoj Bajpai. Kumar who most people doubt about his acting skills is brilliant. He finally gets an author backed role and he shines. Bajpai, one of India's most under rated actors is fabulous as the honest CBI official. The men have just one scene in the film together and its a class.The rest of the cast including Kher and Shergill are good in their roles. The director beautifully constructs the 80s India and I loved the old world charm in the movie. Pandey, easily one of India's under rated director makes a fine film different from his serious and thought provoking debut classic A Wednesday.The only flaw in the film is Akshay's love story which slows the pace a few places. But ignore the love story and its an Entertaining Intelligent Film.
I have seen the movie with lots of expectations. I am amused. .... AKSHAY got his character so nicely .... multi-talented ANUPAM KHER .... did his job .... acting was the fuel for this movie .... screening .... direction by NEERAJ ...... liked it ... love it .... from my views ... I could say from the beginning of the year to July ..... SPECIAL CHABBIS ... is the 3rd best for the Bollywood industry ... 2013 ..... expectation fulfilled ... well done for the music .... PUNJABI music attached me with its resonance... Last but not the least .... MANOJ BAJPEI .... did awesome ..... reminding me a talented officer ...... his talent reflects on his acting .... I cant remember the lead female role .... she was nice .... and absolutely have no over acting like others ........ sweet romance ... enjoyed it .... Comedy ... after a long time .... I actually laughed at the comedy thriller .... audition arrangement was so good that .... I have review the scenes quite a more .... Overall .... its a noticeable contribution from NEERAJ and AKSHAY ...
