When a movie is made with right proportions of logic, creativity, performance and humor, with solid cinematography, editing and background music, you expect an interesting outcome: ‘99’ turns out to be an out of the ordinary movie, worth of every penny you spend on the ticket.

Basic plot is about two ordinary street smart friends ending up in a web of money extortion, illegal betting and dealing with criminal gangs, creating more and more problems to themselves. The characters they get involved with including a pretty girl that falls for the main lead actor all end up in this riveting conclusion of the problem they gotten into. It is not fair to provide any more details of the story; otherwise I may ruin your experience. The first half of the story slowly takes you to that first hike in a roller coaster and the second half takes you through the non-stop twists, leaving you surprised how fast, exciting and entertaining the ride was.

I felt there were multiple climax scenes, each with its thrilling end as directors solve the puzzles one by one. The directors ensured that the stage is properly set and logic is never missed in this plot from 1999. The story is very much believable and combined with backdrop of some true incidents that rocked the cricket world in that year. It is a hard task to mix such true incidents with an imaginary tale, but directors succeeded in doing so. Very apt for the movie liner: Pure Fun, Part True, Part Fiction.

All the main characters gave wonderful performance. Boman Irani, Kunal Khemu and Mahesh Manjrekar deserve special reference. I expected more outright comedy scenes with Cyrus Broacha. Amit Mistry(Kuber) was hilarious, Soha was just perfect for her role and Vinod Khanna did his role with a lot of ease. Casting in total was very appropriate for the roles in the script.

If you are one of those people looking for no-nonsense, no-BS and stimulating fun, that is 99. If you ever wished for a bollywood movie with no typical songs, no melodrama and interestingly natural, that is 99.

Go watch ’99’, you will leave the theatre feeling you made a ‘100’ (century) !

This film so lighthearted, so funny, so easy to enjoy that I find it an amazingly easy watch. What an enjoyable ride.
Things that worked for me:
1. The chemistry between the characters: Kunal and Cyrus, Kunal and Soha, Kunal and Boman, Boman and Amit Mistry (what a totally cool find), pretty much each actor with the other :-0
2. Needless to say, the casting was superb.
3. Great background score, when was the lasttime you had a score as refreshing and well composed as this one? (thogh I didhave my issues with it a couple of places, esp when Kunal is hiding in Vinod Khannas room and he appears, for one.,, but those are minimal).
4. The script... it's the hero of the whole movie. Well structured, constructued just right in the right places with the right emotions.

I would recommend it to everyone. We need more fun movies like this, it sbeen long coming!

It is an out & out excellent bollywood masala which has a balance of comedy, melodrama & thrills. The actions are fast & excellently shot. Soha ali khan is dashing & this role should help her prove all her critics wrong. After a long time one has been able to see a very good movie. It is a movie that will appeal to all classes. Go for it with your popcorns & samosas full & you shall have a good time.

Itching to go to the movies, after the dry spell of Bollywood releases, we decided on 99. We were very pleasantly surprised by the super nice movie it was since we walked in without any expectations. Great humour, catchy music , good performances and best of all, it was a total entertainer. Definitely check this one out!
