Everything about Bang Bang!

2014 Indian film by Siddharth Anand

Bang Bang! is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language action comedy directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Fox Star Studios. An official remake of American film Knight and Day (2010), the film also borrows inspiration from the 2012 Bengali film Jaaneman. It marks Anand's running foray into the action genre, and stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, alongside Javed Jaffrey, Danny Denzongpa, and Pavan Malhotra. The soundtrack and background score were handled by Vishal–Shekhar and Salim–Sulaiman respectively, marking the latter's final collaboration with Anand, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Sunil Patel and Akiv Ali respectively. In the film, a mysterious thief encounters an unassuming bank receptionist, which sets off a chain of events resulting in a series of escapades. Wikipedia →
