Don't listen to the negative reviews
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
The only reason this movie ended up with more as 1 star is because some hardcore nationalist bollywood lovers didn't write honest reviews. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against remakes nor bollywood, but this is just uninspired crap. I like any kind of movies. But movies ought to be made by people who enjoy making them, they should be skilled. Willing to put effort in making a good movie. This guy is allowed to make movies because he is from a rich influential family. Sanjay Gupta must be one of the least talented directors these days. None of his work is original and all of his movies are cheap copies. this is the same, he saw a movie. Liked it, but just didn't understand it. it doesn't even come close to the original. Everything is just worse as the original oldboy. Camera work, story (that doesn't work out anymore) de fighting is lame, making it not offending for the Indian audience by cutting out the incest totally destroyed the story. The actor had to be a pretty face, too bad he didn't have acting skills with it. This untalented director shouldn't even be allowed to sell pop-corn in a cinema. Too bad mom and dad had money.Its a direct insult to the real oldboy, and Sanjay didn't even pay for the rights to rip it. Please don't watch it, get oldboy instead. This one will only make you vomit
One of Sanjay Gupta's best films after Kaante. I really enjoyed the movie and the cinematography was excellent it's like aqua blue I think its to suite the mood for the film and I wanted to watch it because Sanjay Dutt & John Abraham are in it and they are my most favourite actors & they both did a terrific job. It is quite violent it has drilling arms and teeth extraction with a hammer definitely not for the squeamish but the story is brilliant with a surprise ending.My favourite songs are:Zinda Hoon Main (Dance Mix), Yeh Hai Meri Kahani & Chal Rahi Hai Saanse It is a remake of Oldboy I have not seen it and I don't think I ever can because I don't know Korean & I'm not keen in Korean films and it's annoying watching a film of a different language you can with subtitles but yours eyes will be on the bottom of the screen the whole time. A lot of Oldboy fans have a huge problem with Zinda just because it's a remake. It is not a big deal because remakes are a good idea so other people from other countries can watch them, Oldboy will be fine its own place and don't watch remakes if it bothers you it is simple as that.
I've read the user comments on this forum and found a blithe lack of concern in many of the posts for the fact that 'Zinda' is a total ripoff. Here are some telling examples, along with my own not-very-profound responses. I trust I need do no more than that to make my point:"It is unfortunate that bollywood ripped off OLDBOY, but if that is the only way that the Indian audiences would get a glimpse of what the original was like, so be it" (Huh? Ever hear of buying the rights to do an official remake?)"I am reading the reviews of OLD Boy too, which i have not seen. But I should say that it is a great experiment by Indian cinema" (Yeah, a repeat experiment -- like where somebody else first came up with the ideas and took the risks before you came along and decided to do the exact same thing)"The legendary action-scene with the hammer looks as hard as it was in Korean version". (the Korean version? Almost makes it sound like 'Oldboy' ripped off 'Zinda')"First things first , i haven't seen Old Boy so just cant judge Zinda by it's standard... He did full justice to the role of Balajeet Roy(on par with Choi Min-shik" (So you haven't seen 'Oldboy', but you HAVE seen Choi Min-Shik's performance in it? Do the police come to you for psychic impressions when they run out of clues?)(And what does this mean): "There is no doubt that 'ZINDA' is a complete rip-off of Korean movie 'OLDBOY' but I must add that it is an excellent adaptation of 'OLDBOY'".--And I won't spoil the pristine effect of these following remarks by adding my own commentaries:"Hollywood is also planning a rip of this one, so what's the fuss all about""People tell me that this movie is inspired/copied or total remake of a Korean masterpiece "OldBoy"; but I don't mind it""Yes agreed that he copies other films scene by scene, but who doesn't? Why is he called a copycat, when i can add a long list of other copycats? Take Ek Ajnabee - which was an exact copy of Man On Fire, or Vivek Agnihotri for Chocolate - which was a ridiculous version of the classic 'The Usual Suspects'. At least Sanjay Gupta makes a good replica of a film""Copy of old boy backed up with Sanjay direction makes it truly a ride you will never forget"."The story may be inspired from a Korean film, or so we are told, but is doesn't matter because no one's really seen it".
What a great way for Bollywood to show how original they are. Wow i've never seen a movie that will make me cringe even more than this, unless Bollywood decide to remake the whole matrix trilogy, star wars trilogy, and LOTR trilogy and claim that the genius Indian directors and writers came up with the ideas. I would like to say as being a big fan of the Hollywood movies, Japanese movies and after watching oldboy a big Korean fan, that I am disgusted at the director and actors who decided to make this movie. How can you copy a great film and manage to destroy it piece by piece. Is the Indian director a fan of the original movie or an enemy? I think that Bollywood is brilliant at destroying original works of art. So how about sticking with throwing dye and dancing in the fields.
