Baadshaho

Bollywood heist film where the corrupt national government seizes the crown's gold as a way to enrich itself. When the queen is locked up and calls on her loyal followers to steal back the treasure before it reaches the capital city, they respond quickly. As the film progresses, we are let on to increasingly complex machinations by the queen, culminating in a final showdown. I like the Indian flavor on this film, with the rural vistas, using camels as a distraction, and the urban chase scenes. And a couple of moderate plot twists are sprinkled throughout to keep you on your toes.
3 stars (out of 5)
