16 December (2002)

What I remember this movie as... well as far as I know; it was the first movie with design and apparatus of style Hollywood. Even today movies with that level of accuracy are not made in bollywood. It was just yesterday I was discussing with my Friend regarding the new movie Kkrish, yes the one which has got enhanced mutants... Extra 20 minutes, extra fight, unnecessary scenes, I mean there was a lot to digest. A better movie could have been planned with reduced 20 minutes.This is where 16 December shines. A movie planned in budget which does maximum justice to budget cast and execution. Friends if you want to see A-grade movie involving defence chief, ministers, security agents all tackling on terror and made in India 16 December is worth a start.rating: 7.5/10

the pace with which this movie proceed simply awesome.one must watch this movie if he or she like Hollywood action thriller movies and support that in India more of these movies shield me made.all the character have done their best.the plot of movie is very good and the suspense in the end is outstanding.this movie deserves much better rating than this. this is Hollywood at his best.Milind Soman plays Vikram, a former intelligence agent brought back into the fold by Vir Vijay Singh (Danny Denzongpa), his former boss, who is investigating the illegal funnelling of city money into Swiss bank accounts. Working with his old team, Vikram soon discovers that what initially appears to be a case of large-scale white-collar crime is actually a conspiracy of more epic proportions, involving the financing of international terrorism and an attempt to nuke the city of Delhi.

it is quite entertaining movie. keeps u al1 the time on edge of your seat. it depicts intelligent film making by mani shankar. very well written story. good direction and and better cinematography. Though actors didn't look matured apart from the supporting actor victor, danny and gulshan grover. Milind was expressionless same goes with actress. But overall good story telling. n i believe its a original one not a copy of some Hollywood flick!!though end was bit patchy and child genius concept was little difficult to grasp. overall complete movie is good stuff. A definitely recommend this to those who want to see some intelligent film making by Bollywood.

16 December should most definitely be considered for an award this year. A patriotic storyline and technologically enhanced yet believable action sequences will keep the local crowds attracted. But this movie has something for everyone. The technologically savvy will also definitely have something to appreciate with the holographic imaging scenes and fun little detective gadgets(For the first IMac lovers, there's plenty of those in here to). For average Hindi movie standards, the special effects were extremely well done. Portraying not only the works of terrorist organizations and political scoundrels, this film also does justice to the military and other special security operatives by exposing some their features and capabilities (if they are exaggerated, there is really no way for the layman to be sure). Apart from the thoroughly futile attempts at maintaining the usual love story in the background by adding a couple of songs, 16th December will keep you glued to the screen for the whole 2 and a half hours.
