Recensione in evidenza
Okay this is the kind of film you need to approach with an open mind and be much less critical about - this is mindless entertainment. If you spend your time looking for flaws while watching it, you will indeed find a few and and there's no way you're going to enjoy it. There isn't much logic in The Burning Train, it is an action potboiler, but I mean it in a good way because for once some effort was made to try something different and innovative. Among the shortcomings, the film takes quite some time before it starts picking up. I think it would have been better had it started with the train ride and shown the silly romantic cliches in flashbacks instead of giving such a lengthy prologue to the actual fun that everyone is set up for.
And once the train takes off, there's a long way to go - the premise set by the title materialises just shortly before the film ends. Does it mean the wait is not worth it? I'm not sure, the film is quite enjoyable and at least there's something to wait for given the title. The four actors are all quite good, and the contrasting archetypes played by the two leading lady are particularly interesting - one is a modern, new-age woman, the other is a traditional, conservative sort of self-righteous heroine. This distinction is brilliantly captured in the film's first song - "Meri Nazar Hai Tujh Pe" - sung by the sensational Asha Bhosle. Sadly the film doesn't give you much to marvel at, but it is quite enjoyable, and its final sequences are pretty fun.
