Review of Madras Cafe (2013) by Arpita M — 25 Nov 2013
Gripping from the first frame to the last, Bollywood proves yet again that it is going beyond conventional cinema. As good as any Hollywood spy thriller, the movie draws its inspiration from the LTTE crisis in Sri Lanka and Rajiv Gandhi's assassination weaving a true story with an equally engaging fictional one.
John Abraham gives a measured performance which might be one of his best till date. Director Sircar needs appreciation for how vividly and beautifully he has shot through Kerala and Sri Lanka bringing forth both the beauty and the horror that scars its past.
Nargis Fakhri gets her fair share and the director intelligently makes her talk in English which gives her a genuine persona and reveals her true self.
