Sehar

One of the fundamental problems with a lot of Bollywood movies is that they try to convey more than one story at a time. This movie steers clear of that trap (though there are some distractions) and delivers a clear and crisp story. I don't think the story is exceptional (though being from the law enforcement perspective is unique) but the delivery is what makes it engaging.

The actors are believable and the casting is quite well done. I think going for Pankaj Kapoor in his role was very sharp. Other picks were excellent too.

I hope there are more movies from Kabeer Kaushik in the near future.

This is one of few Bollywood movies which i have watched multiple times. The story is fast paced, acting top class and cherry on the top - no songs. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to enjoy a weekend with a movie. Acting is top class not from the leads but from each and every actor in the movie. No actor used as prop.

A excellent cat and mouse game between cops and gangsters !!

The movie is so nice that i request everyone not to use pirated copy but use original so that bollywood learns the value of making good movie.

One suggestion: Do not watch this movie with friends/family/kids who can disturb you while watching it as you will end up getting angry.

I finally got the CD (original) and watched it. What a great movie. Too bad that it didn't get much audience. Now a days movies which can throw in money for publicity makes a lot of money whether they are junk or not (for eg. Kabhi alvida na kehna).

Inspired by real life incidents, the movie depicts the story of Ajay Kumar (Arshad Warshi), new SSP of Lucknow who wants to eliminate crime from Uttar Pradesh. At the same time (which is 1997), Gajraj Singh (Sushant Singh) the new age criminal leader is evolving. He eliminates the old dons one by one and becomes the leader. Organized crime gets at its pick.

The new SSP has a bunch of brave,honest police officers under him. When criminals started using cell phones, he takes the help of Pankaj Kapoor, a professor of telecommunications. The battle between the police officers and the criminals goes on through the whole movie.

Briliiantly portrayed, the characters are as real as they can be. The nexus between railway contracts with builders, politician and criminals are shown in very real times.

The performance is brilliant. Arshad Warshi surprises everyone with his strong and controlled performance. Sushant Singh is brilliant as the mastermind criminal. Mahima Choudhary gives a sweet performance as Ajay's love interest.

Overall a great movie. If you get the chance, don't miss it.

It is one of the best movie i have seen in Hindi cinema. It throws light on the deep functionality of organized crime in India, formation of STF (Special task force), handling of early days of mobile technology by crime world. Best ever performances by Arshad Warsi and Pankaj Kapoor. It exposes how the nexus between local city police and under world criminals work, generation of funds using the real estate builders and tenders issued by local and central government, involvement of politician in encouraging the crimes. I recommend this movie as

"Must Watch" for all who are fed up with the system corrupted by politicians.

This movie shows what lack of publicity and promotion can do to a good movie.. A gem of a movie which somehow missed everyone's notice.. This movie gave a new look to the usual underworld saga by placing it in the UP hinterlands..

It also had a very interesting star cast of rather talented but under-rated actors.. It was a pleasure seeing Arshad Warsi in a serious, single hero role.. Pankaj Kapur was marvelous as usual..Sushant singh was highly effective.. as usual..Suhasini Mulay did a good job...

Had this movie been a little more promoted, it'd ve got the recognition it deserves. But now, it remains a good trivia movie...
