You can’t teach an old dog new trick.
Sanjay Gupta, who’s quite an ‘Oldboy’ at ripping off films from Hollywood and world cinema, passes on the trait to director Suparn Verma, who, in turn, takes on the imitative trait like a fish takes to water. So here the producer-director duo take the Columbian film ‘Unknown’, dissect it, jumble it up, reassemble it and Bollywoodize it to pass it off as a work of creativity known as Acid Factory.
Partaking in this cinematic charade are actors Fardeen Khan, Aftab Shivdasani, Dia Mirza, Manoj Bajpai, Dino Morea and Danny Denzongpa. They play the six characters lying unconscious in a locked-up, dilapidated factory. As one by one they regain their consciousness, they realize they don’t remember a thing. A gas leak inside the factory has wiped out their memories temporarily.
And then the phone rings. On the other end of the line is the limousine-riding gang lord (Irrfan Khan) who courteously informs the wounded and bleeding sextet that some of them are hostages while the rest kidnappers. Then on begins the mind game of finding out who’s who.
The movie keeps going into flashbacks to sketch out the history of each character. As the mystery begins to get untangled and the different players of the story come to blows in a hurriedly stitched climax, you secretly wish for another, stronger, gas leak.
