Gangster

Slow paced in parts and doesn't have any major cast performances, but <em>'Gangster'</em> is still a rather good film. The premise and what it sets up means it remains interesting, even if it does move a little too leisurely in certain moments. The film takes a turn at some point, which actually did surprise me I won't lie - it's nicely done. I can't say I'll remember the performances of Emraan Hashmi (Akash), debutant Kangana Ranaut (Simran) or Shiney Ahuja (Daya), but what they produce is satisfactory for the film itself - they all fit. It gets drawn into the melancholy and musical numbers too much, while the run time is overly extended, but the thrill-ish action is fairly enjoyable. All in all, it's more than watchable.
