Unkempt and unruly-looking, Balajit Roy (Sanjay Dutt), gets released from a room in Bangkok that he had been forcibly confined to. Reflecting on his life as a Software Engineer; his first wedding anniversary with his expectant wife, Nisha (Celina Jaitley); his friend, Joy Fernandes (Mahesh Manjrekar); and his house by the jetty. It is here that an unknown male shoots a tranquilizing dart, and he wakes up in a dark cell, is fed fried Won Tons twice a day, and has a TV set for company. He watches the world news - Nisha's murder with him as the prime suspect; the events of September 11, 2001; the devastating 2004 Tsunami; and the fall of Saddam Hussein. Valium gas is injected into the cell, he is rendered unconscious, taken out, groomed, while the cell is cleaned. This becomes a routine in his life, and then after 14 years he is let out. With the help of a savvy, street-smart taxi-driver, Jenny Singh Sarji, and Joy, he sets out to locate the person(s) responsible for his confinement, and Nisha's homicide.

| OutlookNamrata JoshiEven the love-making is tortuous and unpalatable. In retrospect, the brutality and gruesomeness in Zinda makes the violence in James seem tame and juvenile. Watch it to know the definition of gratuitous gore. |
| Future Movies UKRaam TaratIf you've seen the original, don't watch this. If you haven't seen either, watch Oldboy - this is strictly for Bolly aficionados. |
| User Reviewfamiliar sIndian adaptation of "OLDBOY". Unlike most of the people, I liked it more than OLDBOY, not because it's more positive and softer than OLDBOY but because it's more logical than OLDBOY. Not that it's flawless, but the plot construction (or say, modification) made me let go the flaws. Fantastica!!! |
| User ReviewNithya KFreaky movie! played like a Tarantino movie....may have been a copy of something...but it kept me on my seat. |
| User ReviewPrivate ULove it! But ain't gonna watch it again 'till I can actually totally deal with the...um, intensity? Creepiness? Extreme Phycological issues? |
| User Review£eena CAmazing movie! Very well directed and really good stunt scenes...action packed at the same time very suspenseful, will keep you on the edge of your seat til the very end and will keep you guessing....some of the scenes are gruesome....Sanjay Dutt's acting was another one of his best.....the songs are very hummable as well.... |
| User ReviewArun SProduction values might be a notch higher than in the original. And good casting. Great soundtrack. Those are the only reasons this Sanjay 'rip-off' Gupta movie should get a rating at all.. |
| User ReviewArun RWow. First bcoz of Sanju Baba. Second bcoz of Sanju Baba. Third, let me think...bcoz of Sanju Baba!!! A message to the Prime Minister of India: plz release the guy; he's as white as milk... |
| User ReviewAsif HUnbelievable! a film that keeps you guessing till the very end. |
| User ReviewAta AA fantastic film on its own if you don't know that it's pretty much an exact copy of the Korean film Old Boy (except for the ending being changed to not shock the core out of the Indian viewing audience). Sanjay Dutt is superb in the film and it's really quite a dark intense film for Bollywood! Times they are a changing! |
