Bhatts have made their career ripping Hollywood films, THE KILLER was a remake of COLLATERAL in fact an almost copy paste. The film starst like an average film with romance and comedy but since Irrfan is introduced, it's well handled, though some scenes are too overdone. The scenes between Irrfan and Emraan are well handled no doubt, though it's almost ripped off from Collateral. The climax however reminds us of SADAK and is dissimilar to the original and lets you down. The cops shown in a funny way goes against the film

Direction by Raksha and Hussnain is decent though the movie is copied Music is good, Teri Yaadon Mein, Dil Ko are good songs

Emraan Hashmi in those days was a decent actor who mostly got typecast in his serial kisser roles, after a subtle act in Gangster, here he tends to overdo in some comic scenes but does a good job in second half when his character gets serious, his scenes with Irrfan are good and his scene with Zakir is terrific. Irrfan Khan is simply delightful, in a role which Tom Cruise did in original, he is superb. Nisha/Priyanka Kothari is average, Zakir Hussain is good in one scene he has, rest are okay

why why why? is all I can ask Bollywood for producing this crap. I'm managing to give it two stars because the normally good Irfan Khan does his best to add some zest to the role of ruthless assassin made so popular by Tom Cruise. Too Bad Emran Hashmi can't back him up with the kind of fire power Jamie Fox brought to the original film as the unlucky Taxi driver who gets to chauffeur THE KILLER around town doing his dirty deeds. The minute Hashmi's girlfriend played by Nisha Kothari in the Jada Pinkett Smith role, steps on the screen, it all goes to hell. It's just too bad that unlike Pinkett Smith, Kothari or the director (whichever) chose to make her a stripper (unlike in the original movie where I believe the character was a self respecting lawyer) and we get treated to a barrage of Unsexy Smutty Slutty dance numbers featuring the up and coming actress as she professes her scantiness and lust for Hashmi's character. Hashmi is already known for his serial kisses and Bollywood notoriety, but Kothari who is a relatively new actress should watch herself, if she hopes to have a lasting career in the film industry. With the way she presents herself here, she is most likely to be downgraded to the role of serial slutty item girl very soon. She's not much of a looker either, so I just can't understand why she chooses to market herself this way. Emran tries his best to imitate an Oscar winner, while Irfan acts like the good actor he has always been. Too bad it had to be in a bad rip off of a good film!

This movie is really a copy of another English movie. People in India must really be ashamed that they cannot have original content. No matter how good the copy is, it still is a copy. Watch it only if you have never ever seen an English movie in the past.

Twist to the plot, I doubt it. The musician singing in the restaurant being asked a question... Why don't you just resell DVD's of the original movie? The censor board should make it compulsory to mention on the DVD cover and the beginning credits that the movie is a total copy and should be watched only if you haven't watched the original movie.

Are Aamir Khan, ManiRatnam and Nagesh Kukkoonoor the only people in India who can come up with something original?

This is really a good movie, you definitely won't be bored watching this movie. It is a thriller but it also has comic moments. Emraan Hashmi acted good and Nisha Kothari wasn't in the movie that much. The movie is interesting. Irfan Khan and Emraan are in a taxi for the night and Irfan is the killer and Emraan is a taxi driver. Irfan is on a mission to kill 5 witnesses of a underworld don, he rents Emraans taxi for the entire night and goes to five different place to kill the witnesses. Emraan finds out that Irfan is the killer after the second kill.He is forced to drive for Irfan and has no other choice. Its a good movie once you see it!!
