		Director Sanjay Gupta merges form and content beautifully in KAANTE and the effort needs to be lauded and appreciated.

		Kaante, while stylishly executed is not situation driven but rather powered by the dynamics of its lead characters.
		But Kaante isn't exclusively about thrills and spills as the emotions which are at play run high because the drama alone makes for a power packed film.
		Kaante achieved last years biggest box office opening in India and the second highest of all time.

		Kaante is the first Indian film to be shot entirely in Los Angeles
		Kaante has been in the pipeline for a very long time and its steady progress has always been under tight scrutiny by the world’s media.
		If the brilliant standard of Kaante is a sign of what is to come from the Indian film industry, we better faster our seatbelts and enjoy this ride.

	Kaante
		The director claimed that Kaante was also ‘inspired’ by several well known crime thrillers but he’s going to have a hard time convincing the average punter.
		Stretching at nearly 3 hours, it could have done with a little trimming, especially the two extraneous musical numbers, since they were done pretty much out of context, serving little purpose other than titillating eye-candy.
		Kaante receives no points for originality, in fact most of the time I can’t help but feel that it’s a Hollywood action fest disguised in Hindi right down to its gaudy little shoes.

		Despite the fact that the story of the Kaante is heavily borrowed from Quentin Tarantino's hit Hollywood potboiler Reservoir Dogs, the film is not a let-down.
		Kaante is a daring attempt by director Sanjay Gupta who has surpassed Bollywood's filmmaking standards in presenting the story of a gang of bank robbers who don't trust each other.

		Written and directed by Sanjay Gupta, it uses both a Hindi and an English soundtrack, and was heralded as a pioneering effort to integrate the Indian film industry with the rest of the world.

		He states that Kaante is “partly funded by Pritish Nandy Communications.” He adds that the other two investors in the film are — Raju Patel, one of the most reputed NRI businesspersons based in the US, and former Tennis player Vijay Amritraj.

		Kaante, the multi-starrer by Sanjay Gupta is one of the most talked movie for various reasons.

	calendarlive.com: 'Kaante'
		That's what the makers of "Kaante" are hoping India's mass audience is eager to see, and while the Hindi-speaking film industry is looking to the much-delayed movie to give it a boost, it shouldn't count on any crossover appeal.
		On home ground, however, "Kaante," which translates as "thorn," as in "a thorn in the side," could conceivably connect with its roster of top male stars and mix of violence, schmaltz, fervid songs and flashy imitation of Hollywood crime melodramas.
		Indeed, there is a steadfast earnestness in director Sanjay Gupta's deluded attempt to equal or even better Hollywood on its own ground that is rather touching -- but not to the degree that it sustains the film's many tedious stretches.

		In spite of the great performances all around, perhaps the most convincing of them all is the deadly Dutt, who is possibly helped by his off-screen persona and his rugged looks.
		The biggest surprise, of course, is actor-turned-director-turned-actor Mahesh Manjrekar who will have you cracking up with his antics and one-liners throughout the film, though he has a tendency to mumble and eat up some of his dialogues later on, much to audience irritation.
		The tremendous hype the film has received has ensured a great initial for Kaante, however, whether it manages to sustain audience interest through the coming weeks remains to be seen.

		The answer lies in the fact that Gupta’s films have actually been rather dire adaptations of Hollywood flicks whereas Abbas Mustaan have managed to make some of their films somewhat accessible to Indian audiences.
		Pritish Nandy states that Kaante is not inspired by “Reservoir Dogs” which had me chuckling away at the man’s gall to stare you in the face and make a comment like that.
		For those who have seen that cult classic, Kaante is much more than a mere inspiration of Reservoir dogs but a film which Gupta has adapted and made with tremendous style and energy.

		Kaante Directed by Sanjay Gupta (Pritesh Nandy, at the Loews State) Shot in Los Angeles, this Bollywood thug meditation is another in a recent spate of crossover bids aiming for stateside audiences.
		Rounding out at two-and-a-half hours, Gupta's film is ostensibly concerned with a bank heist gone awry, butactually seems more intent on proving that five tough guys in suits walking towards the camera in slow motion really is the coolest thing ever.
		Similar Reservoir Dogs homages—broken up by some typically incongruous Bolly-pop featuring the requisite scantily clad Indian J.Lo—stand in for plot, creating a slothfulhybrid of Hollywood gangster flicks and genre garishness that may be a new animal.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Reviews \| Bollywood 'Reservoir Dogs' works wonders
		Bollywood is taking on the box office big-hitters from the US with two new movies - Kaante, from Sanjay Gupta - a Quentin Tarantino-style remake of Reservoir Dogs, and Saathiya, the directorial debut of Shaad Ali.
		Kaante has already been credited with saving the beleaguered Bollywood film industry, with takings in India topping £1.9m in its first week of release plus £1.8m for overseas film rights.
		Director Gupta might just be the man who provides that evasive Bollywood crossover hit with Kaante, delighting fans of world cinema and imperiously venturing into depths where few Indian films have been before.

		Basically the story is about 6 master criminals, specialists in their own fields of crime, who are brought together, in a jail cell no less, and plot to hatch a major bank robbery.
		Another of the actors in Kaante, Sanjay Dutt, was imprisoned in real life for his connections with Islamic terrorist networks operating in India, in particular after the major bombings of the Mumbai Stock Exchange and other key buildings in the 1980s.
		However, being an actor of renown means that one is forgiven for slight indiscretions such as being directly linked with terrorist groups, and upon his release Dutt stepped back into his successful acting career!.

		It may not be anywhere near as good as Reservoir Dogs but is much better made than most Indian flicks.

		While in a holding cell, the six devise a plan to strike back against the cops: robbing a bank that services the police force.
		Evoking the latter two may not necessarily be a good thing in general, but the slick Tinseltown-level sheen works in this context and is especially noteworthy given the slapdash nature of a lot of Bollywood productions.
		The producers' plan is shop an edited version for a wider North American arthouse release, and as such the musical numbers have obviously been designed for easy removal--that is, what few musical numbers there are; there are only three total, two of which are largely focused on female back-up dancers rather than prominent characters.
