Circa 2006, Zinda released which was an unofficial remake of A Korean film Oldboy(2003). The film was panned badly and rejected by the audiences. In 2013, Table No.21 releases with Rajeev Khandelwal, Paresh and Tena Desae. The film caught ones attention ever since the promo was out with Paresh in a sinister look and with his dialogue- If You Lie you Die. The film has a good story and though it borrows heavily from Hollywood yet it keeps you engrossed. It may not be a perfect thriller yet it does have it's moments, the twists and turns, especially the finale which gives out a social message is brilliant but the problem is that the film drags in between and the film gets predictable especially if you have seen Zinda let alone Oldboy.
Direction by Aditya Datt who gave crass films earlier like Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Dil Diya Hai redeems himself, he handles several scenes well Music is okay
Rajeev Khandelwal portrays his weakness and all emotions perfectly, yet again proving his talent. Tena Desae is good in her part Paresh Rawal fresh after the critical acclaim of Oh My God does a superb job, bringing out various characteristics of the role perfectly, he is simply outstanding in the finale. rest are adequate
