Overall, It is a good movie, well directed with beautifully talented cast. The camera work the dialogues and especially the song Zinda Hoon with Sanjay Dutt starring in it are mind blowing. It is basically a copy of Korean movie Old Boy (2003) starring Min-Sik Choi and Hye-Jeong Kang. The worst thing is some of the scenes are ditto copy of the original film though the original film was more strong in its story and dialogues.I really wonder a country with a billion people and one of the biggest film industry in the world does not have a single innovative brain. Bollywood is the biggest industry making remakes of dozens of movies round the globe every year. This is highly exasperating and be taken care of.
... I totally agree with the previous comments, how can someone copy shameless a good movie AND took out the best scenes and best story elements? Oldboy is definitely one of the best movies (that's why it's good story copied that often), but when I try to copy something than I try to IMPROVE the copy, not to omit the best things! I'm sure the good voting only were given by people who didn't see the original movie.Please watch Oldboy - you will not waste your time. I really don't understand this Bollywood "Hype", bad actors, bad cinematography and a copied or other well known story - it's always the same. Finally I only recommend you to spend this 116 minutes of your valueable life with other things than watching this movie!
Fist of all, this is the Best movie ever !!Zinda is definitely different from all the regular Kandy floss flicks in bollywood. It is one dark movie meant to show the rock bottom level of loneliness. It has a very sexy taste of music.Too many ideas: solitary confinement, harassment, revenge, human psyche: all whose complicated emotional consequences have hardly been scratched on the surface of this poorly made movie. Haven't these writers experienced anything sorrowful in their lives? If they had or had at least done some research, they wouldn't treat such disturbing events as portrayed in the movie so off-handedly.you have got to listen theme music. THE BESTTTT SONG EVER.. (Yeh hai meri kahani)10/10 of course..Spidy
Many have said this before, but I'm afraid I have to repeat the opinion on the account that a surprising many have decided that Zinda is worth of anything more than 1 star in IMDb. Zinda is a unscrupulous photocopy of the masterpiece Oldboy, and should be avoided, if not boycotted.Some will claim that Zinda is a 'tribute' or a 'remake' of the Oldboy. To them I ask one question: "What kind of filmmakers make remakes of a movie when the original came out two years ago and has been selling DVDs very well internationally?" It seems that this particular brand of Indian cinema has decided that it is quite content making money off of other people idea for free. And though it is impossible for the original filmmakers to sue the filmmakers of Zinda (on the account that Indian copyright laws does not allow for such suit), Zinda should be remembered as a true stain on the development of Indian Cinema.Because it has photocopied a great movie, Zinda avoids being an absolute terror of a movie. However, this does not excuse Sanjay Gupta and the section of 'Bollywood' that has involved itself in Zinda's production. Because of the blatant plagiarism, and the Zinda's makers absolutely refusing to apologize and reimburse the original filmmakers, I must say Zinda deserves 1 star, if not 0.
