US school shooter gets life in prison for killing 17 people at Parkland high school in 2018Ĭruz, 24, pleaded guilty a year ago to murdering 14 students and three staff members and wounding 17 others on 14 Feb, 2018. Cruz said he chose Valentine’s Day to make it impossible for Stoneman Douglas students to celebrate the holiday ever again (Bombay Talkies is produced by Viacom18, a part of Network18 which also owns Firstpost) Did someone say a change of mindset was needed in how women are perceived in India? That task just got tougher. Last heard, Shootout was doing rather well at the box office. While many in the audience cringed again, the more worrisome aspect was the wolf-whistles which came from a large section of the audience.

In one particular sequence where Munir and Manya are trying to join a gang, Munir presents his credentials thus: “Main kuchh bhi karne ke liye taiyyaar hoon….rape bhi, agar item achhi hai toh.” (I am ready to do anything, even rape if the woman is good). But what surely does not merit forgiving is one line by Tusshar Kapoor, who plays Munir, a gangster with a heart of gold ready to do anything for his friend Manya Surve (Abraham), the central character. Violent, melodramatic and with mediocre acting by most other than Manoj Bajpayee (wonder what an actor of his caliber was doing in a movie like this), this story of an ordinary Maharashtrian boy being transformed into a dreaded gangster neither strikes a chord nor manages to entertain.Īll this, perhaps, could still be forgiven as below-average cinema. Right from the Sunny Leone item number – Laila Teri Loot Legi - lyrics of which were apparently toned down from much worse, to gems like “ Aaj mujhe pata chala ki vardi ka rang khakhi kyu hota hai, taaki ispe koi bhi hag de', and ' Jail mein nirdosh or r**dikhane mein nirodh, dono ki koi value nahi', Shootout tops the cringe quotient.

Whether it is the crude jokes and the needlessly liberal doses of abusive language, the crudely shot love scenes between the principal characters played by John Abraham and Kangana Ranaut, or the manner in which the camera seeks to titillate the audiences in two of the item numbers, Shootout embodies much that is wrong with a certain kind of Indian cinema. With Shootout, however, Gupta comes down to the lowest common denominator, pandering to the baser instinct in a manner which manages to make many in the audience squirm in their seats.
