Bang!
Bang! (2014)
Bank
receptionist Harleen has led an ordinary, dull life in a small Indian town, until the day she decides to go on an internet
dating site. However, instead of her website match meeting her at the
restaurant, international jewel thief Rajveer appears, and there is
an immediate connection. Harleen reveals she has always wanted to travel and see the world. Rajveer advises her not to wait until that elusive "some day" to fulfill her dreams. Then, during the date, some men chasing Rajveer
catch up to him, spotting Harleen in the process, and she is soon
swept up in the fugitive's life. Will Harleen continue trusting the
mysterious, charming man, or will she turn him in and go back to her
ordinary life? And what is Rajveer's true dream?
*This
is based off the American film, “Knight and Day” (2010), which I
have not seen, but I might if it's similar to this Indian adaptation.
The film is action-packed, with lots of explosions, gun fights, car
chases, near-death escapes – everything typical to true action
movies. It's so over the top, though, it's almost humorous. The
actor, Hrithik
Roshan, has an unbelievable physique, not including the extra thumb
on his right hand, and especially including his striking, lime-green
eyes and on-point dance moves. It was fun seeing Katrina Kaif again
(“Mere Brother Ki Dulhan,” 2011), and she paired well with
Roshan. There is more violence in the film than I prefer, especially
the first scene which is used effectively to paint the antagonist in
an evil light, but I'd watch this again – there's even a kiss
scene!*
