Story: In the early 1990s, India's battling rebel Tamils in Sri Lanka - how many losses win this war?

 

                         Vikram (John Abraham), an Indian Intelligence Agent, is sent on a special task to Jaffna break the stronghold of a militant leader. All goes well, until he is double-crossed in an arms deal. Later, he is abducted by the Tamilan forces and then in a daring operation, freed by the Indian Army. 

 

 

Movie Review: Straight up, Madras Cafe couldn't be more different to director Shoojit Sircar's Vicky Donor. Political, tense, finally explosive, Madras Cafe is no picnic in the neighborhood park.

 

Something really different!!! Whether the story is true or not is different! But for a change a must watch movie!!! 

Performance with Ratings:

John Abraham:-

            We get to see the best of John Abraham in Madras Cafe. He's just superb and very convincing in the role of a RAW officer.       Rating-- 

 

 

Nargis Fakhri:-

             Nargis Fakhri gets saved from hindi dialogues finally and is seen in an absolutely new avatar in the flick. She is much better than what we had last saw her in Rockstar.    

Rating-- 

 Ratings:-

3.5 stars out of 5....

Verdicts:-Book your seats if you have a taste for history and love for thrillers.

 
MADRAS CAFE is a definite hit. It may or may not cross the Rs 100 crore mark but where intelligent cinema goes, this one is high up there.
