I can't argue with that, but then again, the slip-ups were minor and one can easily ignore them if having good intentions. Then there were people that reported erroneous depictions of Russian life, beliefs and reality in the 60's. If you can't like a story unless sugar spooned to you, then it's your problem.

That is so ridiculous that I will not even deign it with an analysis. To summarize a few reviews, people hated the American actors that pretended to be Russians without Russian accents. I didn't like it too much, though even if it has a stellar cast, it is rather average and that is how I will rate it. I am no expert in Russian Navy protocol, subs or war in general, so that is probably why I liked it. People either loved or completely hated the film.

I've read the reviews of others and I was surprised to see such a strong polarizing. The cover story used was that the salvage vessel was engaged in commercial manganese nodule mining.'

The vessel's position 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) below the surface was the greatest depth from which an attempt had been made to raise a ship. The United States attempted to recover the boat in 1974 in a secret Cold War-era effort named Project Azorian. The Soviet Navy deployed a huge flotilla of ships to search for her but never found her wreck. It was one of four mysterious submarine disappearances in 1968 the others being the Israeli submarine INS Dakar, the French submarine Minerve (S647) and the US submarine USS Scorpion (SSN-589). K-129 carried hull number 722 on her final deployment during which she sank on 8 March 1968. K-129's commander was Captain First Rank V.I. In January 1968, the 15th Submarine Squadron was part of the 29th Ballistic Missile Division at Rybachiy, commanded by Admiral Viktor Dygalo. The Wikipedia website states: 'K-129 was a Project 629A (NATO reporting name Golf-II) diesel-electric powered submarine of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, one of six Project 629 strategic ballistic missile submarines attached to the 15th Submarine Squadron based at Rybachiy Naval Base, Kamchatka, commanded by Rear Admiral Rudolf A. Fugitives.The picture is apparently loosely based on actual real-life events regarding the sinking in 1968 of the Russian submarine K-129.

Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (a SOUR film) Review.

And, if you’re still licking the wounds of that senseless Mumbai massacre, then Phantom is the balm you should reach out for. Zeeshan and his jingoism in the climax gives you that proud-India moment. Saif is adept Kat is pretty appealing (pun on the pretty because her make-up is intact even in the battlefield). Yet, we’re a passive country that lamely does things like refusing to play cricket with Pakistan, rather than go in for a frontal attack.Īs cinema, this thriller is over-simplified, though the gloss adds to the large-screen appeal. To add glamour, Daniyal is accompanied by Nawaz Mistry (Katrina) who works on special assignments for Indian intelligence from London.Īs the prologue says, the Taj Mahal Hotel at Apollo Bunder, blown up that fateful night has a new façade now. Instead, he is clear that if they house the Laskhar-e-Taiba or allow militants like Haris Saeed (the cinema-counterpart of Hafiz Saeed) then the blood-thirsty Indian will take revenge. īased on the book, Mumbai Avengers by Hussain Zaidi, Kabir Khan, fresh from the super-success of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, doesn’t extend a hand of friendship to our neighbouring country in this one. They even whisper to him that, he can `accidentally’ kill. So Daniyal is despatched across continents to find the fanatic four who plotted 26/11. After all, like one young officer (Zeeshan Ayub) says, 10 audacious guys from across the border did bring Mumbai to her knees on that fateful night in 2008, killing 166 people. So, they just take it upon themselves to launch a `punish-those-terrorists’ movement. They know permissions from official quarters will not come.
