Die Hard
Topic: Movies
Die Hard starring Bruce Willis. So much hype about this and dubbed as an action classis. Agreed that some scenes are good but do not understand that much hype...

I would rather watch Kannada movie 'Nishkarsha' on the same lines directed by Sunil Kumar Desai. I liked this movie so much more than Die Hard. Since I was given to understand that Kannada movie was copied from Die Hard, I was expecting it to be much better but it did not live up its hype.

Yes, Kannada movie borrows the original idea from Die Hard but direction is on a totally different plane there. Desia uses B'lore's Manipal Center as the place for the drama. Vishnuvardhan excels as the commando...some scenese are simply great especially the one in which they release a whole bunch of pigeons to confuse the attackers.....Suman Nagarkar was also so good in that movie. Pravin Shet as her boy friend provide good humor......

Other than the theme there is no much copied from Die Hard. Another reason to congratulate Desai. He is the best director off late. Unfortunately does not have much finanical clout and does not compromise on the quality.

Cheers!
