I will describe it with the same characters in Hindi so that there is no confusion...<BR/><BR/>!!!!!!!SPOILERS RIGHT AHEAD!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>In the original Sanjay Dutt has a 3 year old daughter on whose birthday he is kidnapped. His period of captivity is 15 years rather than 14 years. Lara Dutta is a much younger sushi chef rather than a taxi driver.<BR/><BR/>John Abraham is not Dutt's 8 years junior in school but his classmate. John's sister is his twin sister.<BR/><BR/>John and his twin sister have a morbid attraction for each other and Dutt spreads the rumour that John impregnated his sister. John's sister commits suicide because of this and pushes John to plot revenge.<BR/><BR/>John hypnotizes Sanjay Dutt to be attracted to Lara Dutta, who is actually his daughter. When Sanjay Dutt realises that he has slept with his daughter, John's revenge is nearly complete. John threatens to tell Lara the truth as well. Upon which Sanjay freaks and offers his tongue as penance for his original sin. Yes he lops his tongue right off.<BR/><BR/>Having drained off his thirst for revenge, John finds nothing left to go on. He commits suicide as well. <BR/><BR/>After this point the story weakens a little as Sanjay Dutt gets his head fixed by a hypnotist who erases the memory of Lara being his daughter and he gets back with Lara as a lover.<BR/><BR/>Phew....Now that comment was longer than the blog...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Phobos if ya feel I have revealed all too much, feel free and delete this comment.Zeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185983639898228703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305209.post-1138005439515454362006-01-23T14:07:00.000+05:302006-01-23T14:07:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Zeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185983639898228703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305209.post-1137994965792493372006-01-23T11:12:00.000+05:302006-01-23T11:12:00.000+05:30Saw ZINDA at cine city.

Lol.. dont matter..<BR/><BR/>The screen was all grainy till the last scene, where sanju meets his daughter. Till the very last scene, the entire movie was washed out , and grainy, yes .. really grainy.<BR/><BR/>John Abraham looked TERRIFIC! yup, he's got great hair too.<BR/><BR/>Havent seen the original, wouldnt want to the see it. Sanjay (Gupta & Dutta) have pulled off a good break from ordinary bollywood films..<BR/><BR/>Hey, there are a couple of good films to watch in hindi..<BR/>DHOOM, ZINDA.. the list is growing!neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823003108176651286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305209.post-1137989096382558892006-01-23T09:34:00.000+05:302006-01-23T09:34:00.000+05:30what was the original climax??what was the original climax??doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611727305087620902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305209.post-1137987942488154162006-01-23T09:15:00.000+05:302006-01-23T09:15:00.000+05:30Saw it...Gupta even translated most of the dialogu...Saw it...Gupta even translated most of the dialogues from the original...<BR/><BR/>But when it mattered the most, the bugger chickened out.

The title said "Why I won't watch Zinda".<BR/><BR/>Personally I think that if you are gonna copy a film frame-by-frame, it is just a waste of film. If someone has not seen the original then it is entertaining for him, but for fans of the original movie - they come out of the theatre without having seen a single original idea. No wonder they are pissed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305209.post-1137759747789900192006-01-20T17:52:00.000+05:302006-01-20T17:52:00.000+05:30I am vacillating...To see or not to see.The fucker...I am vacillating...To see or not to see.<BR/><BR/>The fucker Gupta is preening on all channels telling how difficult it was to shoot the film.

Were the seats made of gold or something?<BR/><BR/>Seems like ripping off hollywood movies is the "in" thing these days.<BR/>A friend of mine gave me a DVD of "Gajini"(Tamil) - Surya plays a rich guy with a weird condition called "15 minute memory". He remembers stuff only for 15 minutes. His girlfriend was murdered and he is out to find her killer - with the help of his tattoos and a polaroid camera..... <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for the director, we do not suffer from 15-minute memory loss...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
