It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie has been shot well and goes in line with the story line. Whole subject is kept serious as this is a thriller. Randeep has been best with his attitude and his showcase as a gangster. Movie shows no non sense stuff.I would rate this as a must watch for some who like COMPANY, once upon a time in Mumbai, This movie is a bet. Finally this guys dint made much of his time during 2000-2010, but looks like some in the mumbai industry finally caught with the talent and his acting.But now, after Ram Gopal Varma's "Satya" and "Company", after Mahesh Manjrekar's "Vaastav" and Hansal Mehta's "Chhal"? Nah, gives us this day our daily break... Enough about unwashed men washing their conscience in the blood of the slain. Enough of this swivel-and-snarl routine with blood-red eyes, slurring speech and smoking guns.In places "D" glamorizes violence with disdainful words and crackerjack visuals to a point where you wonder whom the script supports.

A foreign mechanic comes to Mumbai and is involved in a crime by accident, when he is threatened by police as well as local goons, he picks which side he pledges allegiance to. But when his friends begin to die one after the other, he strikes back in a huge way thus carving out his own underworld empire in the process. The film is based on a true life story.It's very gritty but it is also very confusing, especially in the beginning but sexy Randeep Hooda's excellent essaying of the title character "D" or "Deshu" (as he is called in the film) will keep you watching. Isha Koppikar and Chunkey Pandey co-star.

Ram Gopal Verma strikes gold once again as debuting Randeep Hooda stars in this absolutely breathtaking movie! Full marks to the acting of Randeep, Chunkey Pandey and the others. Good music too although the editing and directing is not up to the mark. A story highlighting the success of a middle-class man in the dark side of society. From a mechanic in Dubai to a gangster in Mumbai, D portrays the idealism and expressions of an average-Joe in the underworld. Jealousy, suspicion, murder ....... this movie has everything. The background score and the only 3 songs in it gets the audience enthralled. Rumours have it that this movie actually depicts how the International Don Dawood Ibrahim came to power.Overall, a must watch for RGVs fans.

I agree in most part with the first review especially when comparing it to other movies from the RGV production house. Unless watched as a prequel to 'Company', it stands a little feebly with a mixture of actors, script, storyline and direction borrowed from it's fantastic predecessors. Otherwise it's an interesting prologue to a more complete and fulfilling story. I think the movie improves in the last third with excellent plot development and gritty twists, and the finale is well-worth waiting for.Having loved 'Satya', 'Company' and 'Ab Tak Chappan', maybe I was expecting too much from the same genre and was a little disappointed. Try again some other time methinks, rather differently perhaps for a fresher approach.
