I really enjoyed watching this movie, it lots of action and the music was the best music i heard in 2006, i just loved it!!.Emraan's role was a negative role but one of his best performance to date u think, he is a great actor and i just hope that he continues to make more great films like this one in the future.Kangana's debut performance was just mind blowing, she played her part so well and is extremely beautiful and talented, i can't wait to see more of her upcoming movies, she was just excellent in the film, i haven't come across an actress that has done do well in their debut performances in a long time, kudos to her and the best of luck in the future.Shiny was great in the film even though his character dies, aww and also and the thing about this movie was that you could go and watch it over and over gain and not get bored. Please go and watch this film

I am told this is an adaptation of the real life story of Abu Salem and his girl friend Monica Bedi. Shiny Ahuja is the gangster Daya and on the run he one day runs into an unsophisticated bar girl Simran. Simran saves him from the pursuing police and then love inevitably follows. Daya and Simran have to flee to escape the clutches of Khan (Gulshan Grover), the underworld boss. Somehow a child gets into this mix.. why? The child is killed, Daya is somehow in the middle east and Simran in Seoul. In Seoul she meets and falls in love with Akash (Emran Hashmi), a night club singer. Daya discovers this, a jealous confrontation follows. Simran is torn between Akash and Daya, betrays one and is betrayed by the other. The end is a Utopian togetherness in green fields of something...The plot is riddled with problems, and the dialog is quite clichéd and silly at times. The unsophisticated bar girl turns sophisticate really fast, and plays the victim in a nauseating sort of way. Emraan Hashmi reminds me of a bunny rabbit with his short upper lip and teeth showing. His lip locks with Kangana made me a bit sick - kissing is one thing, eating someone is another. I have always liked Shiny but here he fell a bit short - the angry moments were okay but the weeping was very artificial and the overall role was not very appealing. So in the end Kangana was the one who came out ahead of these seasoned actors - perhaps she even deserved her most promising newcomer award. I saw Woh Lamhe before this and loved it, but I worry that she will always play the victimized girl - both roles were almost interchangeable.The music was very nice, loved Ya Ali - copied or not, other songs were very good too. In the end I found Gangster to be an OK film, not particularly engaging or appealing but still with some indefinable quality that most films lack these days. Maybe it was the little twist at the end but the last third of the movie was the best part. A word of advice to Kangana - if the next role demands a hospital scene or a victimized person - please say no, it is too early in your career to get typecast. And say no to Mahesh Bhatt, please. The direction was okay - why was everything so dark and enclosed throughout the film. And is it fair to the Koreans to show them nonchalantly going about their business while a man is being beaten to death in front of their eyes? They do have cell phones you know and the police is a mere phone call away.

the whole thing is good, one of bollywood's best in 2006 not another srk's love stories or another ajay devgan's bad performance.the score is good i like the song ya ali more than the original one ya ghaly,emran hashimy should quit acting for the love of god. he is a very very bad actor, does nothing but kissing and stripping. kangana is OK, but her crying scenes were bad and annoying..she didn't give her best in it. shiny is... i don't know what to say? why didn't he take the film fare award this year? the man gives a great performance. his body language is saying a 1000 meanings in the same time.he is the best thing in this movie. his crying scenes were incredible, he looks stupid like all of us when we cry not fancy and stretched like other actors and actress.there are some melodrama which has no place and i wish if they were omitted. gangster is a great movie . it worse watching

It doesn't get more haunting than this. . .When I started with Gangster I dint know that I was perhaps watching one of the brilliant directions ever. Immaculate sound tracks,intense characters and above all a piercing direction leaves such an impact that makes one wonder if any other movie will be able to fill the void. If there is any such thing as chemistry, then movie buffs would do themselves a great favor if they watch Kangna and Shiny sailing effortlessly through the realm of silence, and heartbreaks. Bheegi Bheegi runs through your veins as you wonder what has happened to bollywood!....By submitting this comment you are agreeing to the terms laid out in our Copyright Statement.
