Review of Madras Cafe (2013) by Mayank A — 24 Aug 2013
Unconventional movie for Bollywood. Such movies(loosely based on real events) are shot down in India. The first half deals with the background story in Sri Lanka, which is slow and confusing. Too many vague notations on whats going on with nothing solid to go on.
Whats good are realistic cinematography showing realistic genocide,action and drama. The movie really picks up in the second half with the chase to stop the assassination of ex-pm. This chase against time is the fun and enjoyable.
The supporting cast of Siddhartha Basu as Raw chief and Prakash Belawadi as Raw agent in Jaffna were realistic and superb.
