I don't understand why people think this movie wasn't good.Works brilliantly as both a prequel and a standalone film.

Source code is a well written,well executed gripping sci-fi thriller.Watch it,I guarantee that u wouldn't regret it.Sit back and enjoy the thrill ride.Below is an explanation of the ending of the film.Please don't read if u haven't watched the film yet. **SPOILER ALERT** I usually don't write reviews like this,but felt the need for it this time,jus becoz i saw a few people in this session blabbering how they didn't like the last 15 mins of the film becoz they exposed the "flaws" of the film and that it was predictable.No,there aren't any flaws in the last 15 mins.What they actually do is they introduce a new concept called alternate reality, which stays as a possibility from the very beginning of the film when we get an explanation about the source code.So,when rutledge is said that a train explosion was avoided at 7 30 it's actually in the reality where cutler's mind is in sean's body.yes,in the "actual" reality,the one from where cutler's mind was sent,the explosion does happen and everybody in the train dies,and also cutler's body is in that lab and he dies.And in "Cutler in sean's body" reality,the explosion is stopped and cutler(in sean) proceeds to lead a happy life.And that message he sends is received by vera in his own reality.Hope everything is clear now.And no,that twist was not predictable.Because until that point we are not introduced to the possibility of multiple realities through the source code(and the alternate reality is NOT CREATED by the code.its pretty much like a doorway into it).Its totally ok if u don't get the film.But please don't spread negativity about it and kill a well crafted film for others because of your ignorance.Thank you.

Mark my words Tamasha, In time to come will be considered as path breaking and classic movie. It is in the league of Guide, Mera Nam Joker, Dev D or Gangs of wasseypur. It is Director's Movie. Its slow movie, burning at slow speed, so you have enough time to savor it, you need to develop a taste for it. Don't look for a mindless entertainment here, rather try to experience, relate, with your childhood, with all naysayer adult that you have come across, the company with whom you have gone crazy, that stupid boss or stupid company culture there will be something or other that you can relate to, try to live it. Imtiaz Ali has created a class here, I want to change nothing in this movie its limitations are its strength. It has all Fantastic acting of leads, Deft direction, Soul touching music. The best part is beginning. I was blown away in first 5-7 minutes only. What a message and how its been communicated, Sheer class. Think about that kid lost in his own wonderland his childhood is full of stories and imagination and sadly nobody understand it. So many things are priceless to him alas!! All such priceless moments and things are so worthless to adult rational practical world. The whole point is all these rational, adult, practical others are actually blind what they see as important and what they long for even after getting that it is not making them happy actually, after that realization they go for the higher degree of same things believing may be they will be happy after having another higher, bigger, costlier of same things. They are actually in the rut without realizing it or without being wanted to realize the same, they don't know what makes them happy. Here is a boy who knows what makes him happy, he is gifted but how can he dare to be so happy? When happiness is all about responsibility, living for others, being decent and just carry out life making each day exact copy of another day. Even though living life like photo copy of each day doesn't make sense to you but you are not supposed to ask questions, you are not suppose to think that are you truly happy with what you are doing in your life. Is the work or day is gives you the feeling of fulfillment, just carry out the drudgery for others, because all others have done the same for you. It doesn't matter whether they understood you or you understand them(Parents, kith and kins, uncles and aunties) understanding the person is least important for them. You are supposed to make them happy that's it. Poor boy just felt lost, he feels misfit square in round hole and the moment he face reality everything goes wrong so what he does, is to escape in dreamland where he is the story teller where everything is not perfect but every one is happy because everyone is true to themselves. Nobody is judging anybody. Bad is bad because bad enjoys being bad. Good is good because good enjoys being good. There is no pretension Its so simple. Why this world out here don't understand this? Its constant conflict. Then comes a relationship, a lady, professionally very successful, ambitious and open. They decided to celebrate their existence without any expectations, not judging each other, just becoming crazy and enjoying each other's craziness. Not caring about societal rules. Relationship here is togetherness its like when are truly enjoying an ice cream and you meet someone who share similar tastes and when you share an ice cream with that person though ice cream you got have become half but it taste doubly good because of the company that's what the relationship does and are meant for. No give and take, no dealings, no expectations just pure celebration of existence unadulterated joy. The best part of relationship is, it brings out the best in you. Both of you just bloom, grow and glow with each other. Now here is the dilemma for that boy who have become young man. What is right? As he tries to live by the conventions, life,job, relationship and society become a TAMASHA. BRAVO IMTIAZ,BRAVO RANBIR

**SPOILER ALERT** A lot of people in this session seems confused about the ending, especially how there were 2 dougs in the same reality.the answer is simple,one doug came from the future,with the determination to change the destiny.And he succeeded.So, the explosion doesn't happen,and the "stream of time" as explained earlier in the film,is changed.Now,its like a whole new reality.Thats it.I loved the film.Thrilling and gripping throughout the plot.

Not many movies have given me goosebumbs.To those people who say this film is "highly overrated" and think it has no statements to make and it is merely about friendship,you don't deserve redemption.THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE about the best thing that a person can have,hope.
