Kidnap: First look

The trailers are out and they look good. Well, good is an understatement. Slick, suave and dark – Indian movies are moving on from the old rona-dhona and candyfloss kinda flicks. Kidnap, Sanjay Gadhvi’s first venture outside the Yash Raj camp looks like a thrilling watch. From the trailers at least.

The director, who has hits like Dhoom and Dhoom 2 under his hat, has fulfilled his dream of working with Sanjay Dutt. Sanju baba plays the world’s richest Indian in the movie. ‘Net Worth: $51.7 Billion’ announces the trailer. The story is such; Sanju’s daughter (played by Minnisha Lamba) gets kidnapped by young gun Imraan Khan. From here on it’s a battle of wits between the new blood and the old warrior as the father tries to save his daughter.

Dutt looks his usual self in the movie. The scowl and trademark Sanju baba walk are in place. Imraan Khan, plays a negative role in this one, after his chocolate boy performance in ‘Jaane Tu…’. This also gives him an opportunity to show off his tattoo which he had to hide in debut movie ‘coz it didn’t suit his character. Minnisha Lamba, is hardly present in the trailer. Going by her screen time in the promo, I’d say her role is hardly anything in the movie.

All in all, the first look seems good. But then again, first looks are sometimes deceptive!
