...though, Gaitonde is dead, apparently by his own hand. Now Singh has to find out why-a quest that leads him into a murky labyrinth of pimps, Pakistani agents, Bollywood starlets, new-age gurus and would-be nuclear terrorists. Like the city it's set in, Chandra's epic is sometimes slow moving and occasionally overambitious; but like Bombay, its flaws are outweighed by its virtues. Chief among these is the way Chandra takes you inside the world of a Bombay cop. After reading the book, you'll swear you know precisely how to collect a bribe from a nightclub...

But it was no less opposed to the Islamist regime that arrived with Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, which executed thousands of the group's supporters...
...Noonan, doesn't play to our sentiments, he just lets them naturally evolve--even the animation of a few of her drawings doesn't feel especially forced. The result is an honorable and curiously winning film. BREAKING AND ENTERING Anthony Minghella's basic filmmaking impulse is toward the romantic epic (The English Patient, Cold Mountain). He likes to do long, ultimately unhappy love stories set against agitated historical backgrounds that impinge on the fates of his lovers. Breaking and Entering, though set in contemporary London, is a film of that character...
