Malang- Film Review

Anil Kapoor is still a very good actor. Mohit Suri has used him well. He is very credible as the slightly demented cop who is trigger-happy.

The film starts slowly, and the first half could have been a little crisper, but the second makes up for it, with a quicker pace, and dramatic action. The two protagonists do a decent job, and the support actors are also pretty decent.

The initial part about the drug scene in Goa is actually old hat (Dev Anand made a film about drugs in 1970 or thereabouts), but it sets up the story well, as you realise later on. The narration does keep the suspense alive, and the second half ends up redeeming the film.

Along the way, it also opens up about male impotence, a taboo subject rarely talked about in India.
