Z delves deep into the murky world of Indian political establishment and represents it through the prism of gritty, uncompromising, brutal realism. Amidst all the darkness of stark reality, the humour quotient is subtle and profound at the same time. Abhay Deol stands out - so intense yet so restrained. He's the Ryan Gosling of Bollywood. Farooq Sheikh is bloody brilliant and Pitobash is an absolute treat. Emraan Hashmi is the surprise package of the film; he discovers the actor in himself, packs a punch in an effortless manner. Prosenjit adds a touch of class with a perfect cocktail of economy of emotions and expressions, and intense glances. Kalki fails to impress though since her character doesn't come out of the one-dimensional mould of angst-ridden ranting.
