Tathastu

Yes, this is a remake of John Q. Yes, you cannot help compare to Denzel. However, this is a definite top 10 movies of Sanjay Dutt. He has given solid performance. He is on top of his game in this movie. You cannot help but be involved. I have seen John Q and was wondering if it will be a waste of time. However, as movie progressed Sanjay has really made it worth the watch (both time and money!). Recently there has been a string on nonsense movies coming. So I was impressed. However the plot is bit radical especially a made for Indian audience ending. However, I don't think this is anyone else but Sanjay's movie! I just hope the choice of actors were better. Amisha is not suited for the role at all. I think Antra would have done better. Amisha was not able to bring or compliment the emotions needed. Even her make up was not suited for the role. She is pretty dumb to adapt to roles. I saw her teesri aankh. Even there she was lame. For her role she should have made an attempt to learn the sign language. So in this respect this was a half hearted attempt by the director and producer. I don't think failure of movie can be blamed at Sanjay. At best he is the only asset to the movie.

Sanju Baba best... Go for it.. don't check reviews

One of the most badly made movies. Apart from Sanjay Dutt everyone else overacted. Amisha Patel did'nt have an idea of what she was doing. Screenplay was very weak. I don't think so a director was required for this movie. Instead of wasting resources on such movies, it should have been used for better purposes. On the first day fourth show more than have the theater was empty. It is highly recommended to avoid this one.It is disappointing right from the beginning. there was'nt a single moment where the audience could enjoy, apart from laughing on the serious scenes.Audience which has paid for its admission has a right to demand for better stuff.

Anubhav Sinha after the crap DUS returns with worse TATHASTU the film which could be realistic and brilliant ends up being a typical Hindi film The film is a copy of JOHN Q and repeats the mistakes too The reality goes out of the window when Sanju storms the hospital with a small gun and keeps the people on hostage what follows is an uninteresting regular film where we get to see other side character's turmoil, an ever long sermon by Manoj Pahwa and the same politician scam

Direction by Anubhav Sinha is decent Camera-work is good

Sanju excels in the scenes showing distress and lives up to his role but when he takes the gun in his hand, his characterization fails, he comes across more as a goon and bhai rather then a poor father and his act fails but yet a brilliant perf otherwise Amisha is bad, her crying scene is comical and annoying Gulshan grover is good jaya Pradha is adequate rest are okay

Expecting a good movie after having such a strong script like John Q and the director of Dus,was very disappointed.Average acting .Only one song ,which thankfully lessens the length of the film.Amisha Patel is a big joke in such a intense movie.Well best watched on DVD if you have the time and are a sanjay dutt fan.I would recommend watching the original John Q on DVD if you can,as it shows one of Denzels best roles.The plot on paper sounds very interesting ,how a man takes people hostage ,to save his son who needs a heart transplant and does not have the money to pay for his operation.The director should have worked harder on the screenplay and it had such an identifiable story line which if it had been made well ,could have been a good hit.
