ZINDA

Zinda

Director: Sanjay F Gupta Producer: Sanjay Gupta Cast: Sanjay Dutt, John Abraham, Mahesh Manjrekar, Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley Bangkok - a city that promised to give Balajeet Roy (Sanjay Dutt) everything that he ever wanted. So what if Bangkok had a different culture, way of living and of course different food? In the company of his wife Nisha (Celina Jaitley), things always seemed promising. Life took a turn for better when Nisha realized that she was going to give him a baby soon. But things were about to take a dreadful turn. Bala find himself locked up in an unfamiliar place. This is not a prison, nor has he been kidnapped. He has been just kept in the confines of a small, dark and a dirty room where he has only link to civilization - an old television set. What is his crime? What is this place? Who are his captives? When would he come out? Despite his cries to the outside world, no one is willing to respond. He is there, all alone. And his only option is to wait. A wait that lasts for 14 years. When a moment of separation from your loved ones can make you insane then one can't even imagine the plight of Bala who is not even aware about his misdeed and is still locked away in isolation. Now he is no more a human being. He is an animal. An animal who has continued to wait for all these years only to know just two things: what is his crime? And who are his captives? He builds up his fighting skills while being held captive as he is still hopeful that he would be released one day and then he could take revenge. After a long wait for 14 years, just as quickly as he found himself bundled in a room, he finds himself thrown out and facing a changed world. But would this world allow him to live his life normally? Would he be ever able to reach his captives? Would he be ever able to know the root cause of all the mishaps in his life? He has just four days and he realizes that his freedom too was a part of the plan. A plan by the same people who imprisoned him and have now, let him go. Is this an even worse phase of his life? In this complex plot, what role does Rohit Chopra (John Abraham) play? Who is Jenny (Lara Dutta) and does Joy Fernandes (Mahesh Manjrekar) have any influence in Bala's life? Is Bala back to being 'Zinda' (alive) or was the semi-dead state in captivity far better?
