Under torture, Indian gangster Tiger Memon confesses to his involvement in a plot to set off explosives throughout Bombay, wreaking havoc and polarizing the city. Through a series of interviews, top cop Rakesh Maria comes closer to discovering who the leader of the conspiracy is, but it soon becomes clear that a foreign power must be involved.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The movie would be all crisp surfaces without the internal combustion of Menon, as a man who bears down on familiar procedures in order to avoid being overwhelmed by his emotions.
Despite its large cast and complex criss-crossing from past to present, the movie rarely catches fire as an involving human drama.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday is a superb and devastating piece of cinema that with justification can be compared favorably to Gillo Pontocorvo's classic "The Battle of Algiers" in its dispassionate yet sweeping journalistic inquiry into cataclysmic social and political events.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Opening with the Mohandas Gandhi epigram "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," it humanizes the bombers without excusing their actions.
