"Kaante" is a 2002 Indian film. The title translates as "Thorns"
6 men concoct a plan to rob the bank in which lie the fundings for the LAPD. All goes well, until they make their escape, only to meet a SWAT team, waiting for them outside the bank. They engaged in a gunfight and one of the thieves is hit by a bullet. However, they all manage escape and meet at their hideout, where they come to the conclusion that one of their members is, in fact, an undercover cop. But which one?
Does that synopsis sound familiar? Well, if you have seen 'Reservoir Dogs' it should do! However, being a Bollywood version of that tale, this film has something that Tarantino's movie didn't have - the obligatory songs that cast members break into at inappropriate moments!!
"Kaante" is an enjoyable film, and at 154 minutes doesn't feel over long
Personally, I liked it more than Tarantino's film, and just for the record, the person who I had pegged as being the cop turned out to be the equivalent of Mr. Blonde - the crazy psycho character!
