Bond(ing) with Bollywood

Dashing: Daniel Craig in the new bond film.

Film: Quantum of Solace (English)

Cast: Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko

Direction: Marc Forster

Well, you have to believe that this James Bond Hollywood flick comes with a dash of Bollywood! We have tried several such stories that this one has – revenge at any cost. Quantum of Solace – the sequel to Casino Royale picks up from where the latter ended.

After being betrayed by his beloved Vesper, Bond has a mission – to uncover the truth and the organisation behind the betrayal.

Though he captures many links, but ‘kills’ them – so much to earn the wrath of his employer and an ouster!. And in typical Bollywood-like situation, he meets Cammie (Olga Kurylenko), who is also tailing the man who killed her parents and set her house on fire.

Now, together, they unravel and brave organisations and tricks! Saw it somewhere?

It has an impressive Dominique Greene (played by Mathieu Amalric) who runs an organisation called Quantum and is all set to take control of world’s important natural resources and is hand in glove with exiled General Medrano.

A case of manipulations, deceit and surprises, this Bond is less on speech and high on emotions.

Hold your breadth for it gives you terrific chase on the land, water and air and calms you with the scenic beauty of Italy, Austria and London.

Well, some slick moments and a predictable end seem affordable in this one– after all we haven’t exactly seen a dark skinned, green eyed Bond with tears in his eyes, ever!
