The only change is that Kaante is the Indianised version, with additional family members and some good songs thrown in. Watching the original Reservoir Dogs (director: Quentin Tarantino) after I watched Kaante made me realise that the song and dance sequences in Kaante actually thinned/watered down the pace, plot and the grip of the entire storyline. Kaante is a decent bet for your money, but then you have to hand it to the director to have come up with an original story/plot and executed is equally well.
The director should have "adapted" with minimal changes to the pace of the story. Quentin Tarantino would not have minded I believe.

Yerp, this is probably 2002's most keenly anticipated bollwood film...and it clicks!
thought to be a remake of reservoir dogs, this film revolves around 6 men criminals...with one traitor in them...
the music in this film is no biggie, just below average...but the film's great...worth the wait...

Well done, cinematography was excellent, directing was brillaint, actors was superb, but if you've seen Reservoir Dogs, the ending has been blown and you already know what's going to happen. I wish they had changed the ending, so I would've further enjoyed the movie. Company is by far, the best Hindi gangster movie.
This is a unique film in many ways, most of which have been touched upon. It is a refreshing new version of Bollywood film making. Cheers to Sanjay Gupta for taking the chance to be different.
Sanjay Dutt was excellent in this film. He reminds me of Jean Reno, and hopefully this will open him up to an international audience.
What I would also like to comment on is my performance as Detective Maquarrie. I busted my butt to give the audience a realistic LA detective, and did all my own stunts as well.
It was a pleasure working with some of Bollywoods best, they are truly a great bunch of guys and were very profesional. Hats off to all of them for taking a chance on this film.
If you have any comments, please feel free to e-mail me.
I can also be seen in last years "Windalkers" as a marine sgt., and you will be seeing alot more of me in the future.
Thanks to all that saw the film.

This movie is an adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", the only difference being that there are more people in the movie. I must say, for a bollywood movie, I got more to see than I expected. I saw this movie before watching Reservoir Dogs and the performances were simply brilliant. Amitabh, Sanjay and Mahesh Manjarekar make an excellent team. If you want to relax and watch an explosive bollywood movie on a friday night, this is exactly the kind of movie you are looking for.

- Crazy creditsIn one of the most unusual title credits shown in a Bollywood movie, all the main actors' names were shown in reverse order. So perennial top-billing actor Amitabh Bachchan was last and Mahesh Manjrekar was shown as the first.
- Alternate versionsThe film was certified A by the Indian Censor Board with just one audio cut which was to remove a strong expletive.
