Finally! Finally! Finally! Finally, an Akshay kumar movie has the three Ss. Script, substance, and the ever-alluding success. Just when his fans were getting a bit worried about him being whether a Joker or a Khiladi (Pun intended there, sorry Akki we love to hate you for these movies) he manages to pull off a brilliant performance. Special Chabbis or Special 26, as they like to refer it is a good movie.
Anupam kher is loved for his innocence and support by everyone. Jimmy shergill is expression-less though in a positive way when required which is essential for an actor portraying that role. Manoj Bajpai, well the movie could not have been made without him. Supporting actors Divya Dutta, Rajesh Sharma, Kishor kadam, and Vipin Sharma provide comic relief and at times depth to the narrative.
Kajal Aggarwal manages to look good in the 80s look though the love story angle could have been avoided but then what would a movie without mush do at theaters around the Valentine week?! :) It would be like a woman dressed in a sari crashing a pajama party! :)
Check out this movie to believe in the power of good cinematography, well-written script, and the magic of good acting!
