@Tech Hunter: Go and watch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Snatch. (2000) and RocknRolla (2008)... and you'll know. Ideally, you can also watch Revolver (2005/I)... though it's little different than his usual stuff, I'm one of the few who liked it.
By the way, Phir Herapheri and Fool N' Final were pathetic rip-offs of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, respectively.

I watched phir herapheri - dont even realize its rip off of LSTSB :rofl:
Honestly, not even close to a 4 star movie. I would rate it at 3/5 with the scale being a 5/5 to something like a Range De Basanti maybe.
The story has no twists or anything, very predictable. Direction is good, i think Priyanka Chopra acted better than Shahid Kapoor. Definately not a movie which blows you off.

dudes its a hindi movie for hindi movie goers; if you already watch Snatch,Lockstock n..., you will find it predictable since you already taste this type of movie, but think about who never watch such english movies- for them this will be a refreshing change.Rating has been considering those facts

Actually this is why I liked the movie so much. From a bollywood perspective this movie gets rid of most of the melodrama. I mean I like that kind of stuff it in small doses which is why I like movies like Socha Na Tha or Jab We Met but otherwise there is little to separate it with a well edited movie without too much dragging parts such as Snatch. I'd definitely rate it above RocknRolla, Jackie Brown and Revolver which got too convoluted towards the end.
Also ftr the only QT movie I truly liked was Pulp Fiction and I really hated the pretentiousness of Deathproof which was supposed to be the opposite given its tags. That guy is ridiculously overrated compared to Kim KD/Jamrusch/Sabu/Raimi etc etc.

To start off this film is definitely darker compared to bollywood standards. There are many aspects the director got right!Technically its impressive!!
Cinematography is top notch !!Visually there is nothing wrong with it and it totally sets up the dark mood for the audience!! That's why don't wait for PDVDs , half the fun will be gone!
Background music is well suited and the two main songs are good!!
The dialogues are good and the film moves at a good pace!! There is not much of melodrama and the plot doesn't distract itself much!!There's much humour in between to lighten up the environment,although it's not dark humour, just humour set in dark!!!Coming to storytelling, it's a bit complex because many things are happening at the same time(specially in the first half) and there are many characters in the film but its portrayed well!!A good screenplay accompanies this!Another good thing was how characters grow, along with the story!
As for acting , Shahid Kapoor has done more than an excellent job in the movie!!As you can see from the trailers, he plays the role of twin brother Charlie and Guddu and has done amazing job in portraying both of them, considering how different their characters are!! Hats off to him. Priyanka Chopra played her part well enough and Amol Gupte was simply great at portraying the evil politician!
However , there are few parts in the movie which totally betrays the high standard set by movie!!Some part of the story would made you wish it weren't there !!The ending was , well, a bit priyadarshan-ee !!!
So all in all the film is different, VB tries something new ,and successfully achieves it! It's entertaining enough and surely worth watching in cinemas!Although , I am a little disappointed !
7/10
