• Someday!!! We wish Someday!!!

  D-Day is a kind of step taken by Bollywood , wherein it shows nailing of the most wanted criminal of India. Perhaps, since it never happened so the movie makes you feel will this ever happen? The story telling of the movie is very gripping, somehow the length(2 hrs 35 mins) is kinda draggy but its OK as the movie keeps the audience at the edge of their seat till the end. Its a welcome return of director Nikhil Advani whose last couple of films have met drowning ends. Technically , D-Day is one of the brilliant movies to come in recent times. Music is at its place as the timing of "mast kalandar", "Alvida" and "Dhuan" is perfect and make you feel the situation. Performance wise Irffan stands out as Wali Khan. Rishi Kapoor enacts role of 'Goldman' Iqbal in a confident way and we feel that he is transforming even today. Arjun is superb as rough Rudra. Huma qureshi's performance is great as usual. Akash Dahiya as Aslam is a performer to watch out too. Shruti Hasan does great justice to the cameo kind of role in the movie. Chandan Roy Sanyal as nephew of Iqbal is flawless. Nassar and Sandeep Kulkarni in their brief appearances are solid. D-Day will appeal to the kind of audience who like watching movies made with realistic approach. Its a blend of all in one. A movie which deserves a watch. Rating : 9/10

• Great Work ..... Kept the audience glued

  sharad822013-07-21

  Went to watch a movie after long. It takes a good surprise quotient to make me appreciate a film. , critics reviews raised my expectations. I did not wanted to see another documented evidence. And wow! Then this film struck like a fresh wave, eyes wide opened, and glued to my seat I watched and enjoyed every moment in the awe as the scenes unfold. Small emotions and unsaid dialogue topped with brilliant music integrating into the story of the film made the film must watchable.. Characters cleanly laid out, with their flaws in them makes them memorable . A nice execution of a nice script from a skilled and pro director. Must watch and an entertainer.

• Fast paced, Good one time watch thriller

  rv-ideaz2013-07-20

  D-Day is the new offering of the 'Kal Ho Na Ho' famed director Nikhil Advani. I went into the theater expecting a thriller, and yes that is what I got. D-Day is the story of four unassuming protagonists, all with varying back stories and a common mission that brings them together in Karachi to execute one such mission - an enforced extradition of a Dawood-like gangster. It explores their journey, their choices, their loss, their victory. Here is what I think about the movie. Story Wali Khan (Irrfan Khan) was sent to Karachi, 9 years ago to keep an eye and report the activities of the India's 'Most Wanted Man' Iqbal Seth (Rishi Kapoor), also known by the names of Bhai and Goldman. However, Iqbal's movements are constantly monitored and heavily restricted by the ISI. But when Wali finds out that Iqbal Seth will be attending the wedding of his son, against the ISI's wishes, he believes that the perfect time to execute his plan has arrived. Three others agents namely Rudra Pratap Singh (Arjun Rampal) Indian Armed Forces, MARCOS unit, Zoya Rehman (Huma Qureshi) RAW Explosives expert and Aslam (Akash Dhaiya) a petty thief from the streets of Mumbai, are sent to infiltrate Pakistan and help carry out Mission Goldman. They have their own stories -Rudra develops a strong bond with Suraiya (Shruti Haasan), a sex worker in Karachi, while Zoya sacrifices her marriage for the mission. Everything is going right according to plan till the D-Day when something goes horribly wrong.Whether they succeed in their mission or not is the what D Day is all about. Verdict D-Day is fast paced action packed with emotional sub tones to it. Yes, the movie does have some flaws. It gets a little boring and dark and bloody at times. Irfan Khan's scenes with his family in the second half are avoidable. The love story between Arjun Rampal and Shruti Hassan is rather half-baked and pushes the film into an avoidable sub-plot. But if you like thriller movies, you would definitely like this one and even if you don't, then go and watch this movie for the excellent performances by the entire cast.

• Great movie ... excellent spy drama

  murlimohanrao2013-07-20

  The movie provides an excellent insight into the concept of sleeper cells and the way they protect the country's interests, very often at the cost of their life and conscience. The movie is about a wanted Pakistani terrorist holed up in Pakistan. Knowing the importance of the suspect, the Indian secret service agency authorizes a covert operation for the extraction of Iqbal Sheikh (played by Rishi Kapoor). Four RAW agents are chosen to carry out the extraction. These agents led by Aslam, Zoya (Huma Qureishi), Rudra Pratap (Arjun Ramphal) and Wali Khan (Irfan Khan) hatch a plan to extract Iqbal Sheikh from his sons wedding. However, the plan gets botched up and these four agents are on the run. Also, at the same time, each of the protagonists are going through serious emotional upheaval due to the dual lives that they are leading. For e.g. Wali Khan is a simple barber, doting father and at the same time a RAW agent. His family is unaware of his identity and unfortunately get caught at the crossroads. Each of the characters goes through their own process of redemption for the feeling of guilt that they harbor and the love for their motherland. That is actually the beauty of the movie. In fact, of all the spy movies that have been made in India, this easily is the best of all. I would actively recommend it for movie aficionados.
