Shootout at Lokhandwala

Shootout at Lokhandwala is a fantastic movie that is full of violence. The movie has many famous actors all in one movie. Amitabh Bachchan stars in a small role as the lawyer who is listening to what has happened. Abishek is in a 2 minute scene and both father son give a standard performance. Sanjay Dutt the main lead of this film gives a good performance as the Police officer. Sunil Shetty and Arbaaz Khan give decent performances as Police officers. Tusshar Kapoor is great as a gangster, and he even improves on his childish voice. The star of this movie has to be Vivek Oberoi who has delivers a Superb performance an Maya the deadly gangster. The film has many other actresses like Amrita Singh who did a good job as the hot headed mother. Aarti Chabria looks sexy in the song and I would like to play with that jism of hers like Tusshar does. Neha looks pretty kaash mein suhaag raat karta us ki saat.

A brilliantly made movie from the White Feathers Films Production. A must watch for all action movie lovers. Based on the real incident of the 1992 firing at Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri in India. There were certain Factual Errors in the movie however it is a gr8 cinematic experience. All the stars have portrayed their characters brilliantly. Sanjay Dutt as Shamsher Singh & Vivek Oberoi as Maya Dolas are outstanding. Suniel as Kaviraj Patil & Tushar as Dilip Buwa gave a fantastic performance. The movie was highly under-rated due to excess violence which is not a regular in Hindi Movies There were certain parts which were included just to increase the length of the movie. However the exiting climax covered up all the flaws.................. All in all a brilliant movie.

In some ways, "Shootout at Lokhandwala" is typical of many Bollywood films. Even thought it's about gangsters and terrorists, these killers take time out for huge song and dance numbers! I really don't think these worked very well considering the subject matter in this film. However, in another way the movie is very unusual. It is one of the most violent Indian films I have seen--with a few particularly grisly deaths (such as seeing a close up of a woman being run over). In this sense, it certainly isn't typical!

The film is based on actual real life events--so to some degree it had to be violent. After all, the thugs were horrible and violent people--there's no denying that. And, the ultimate showdown between them and the police DID result in a long standoff during which more than 1500 shots were fired! So, making it non-violent wouldn't have worked...though the film doesn't shy away from violence in the least. It's not a film to show small kids, that's for sure.

As for the quality of the film, it's quite nice. The acting is fine and it was unusual to see Amitabh Bachchan playing a cop who is at times difficult to like. But the film, despite being exciting and well acted does occasionally degenerate into macho theatrics-- especially during the big finale--though I must admit that the cigarette scene and the coat rack was amazingly cool. Overall, it's a film best for folks who want a lot of action and killing. It might seem a strange film to folks outside India, as its end justifying the means angle is unusual to say the least.

One off the best gang story. Indian movie should learn from this movie

Sanju Baba Rocks. Audience Shoked.

Perfect acting by every actor. Vivek has showed great energy in the movie.
