A Vintage Masala Entertainer!
A remake of the 2003 Tamil film Saamy, 'Policegiri' is Vintage Entertainment. It rests on the tried & tested formula of action films of yore. It offers nothing new in terms of storytelling, but its still fun to watch, as it stays true to the genre & delivers exactly what it promises: Time-Pass Entertainment.
'Policegiri' Synopsis: A tough cop comes to a new village to clean the dirt, but faces a mighty opposition in an evil politician.
'Policegiri' is old wine, in a new bottle. Luckily, the film works, because it entertains at most parts. The First-Hour is engaging & very progressive. The Second-Hour, however, loses pace & the war between the good & bad, gets monotonous. Its never boring, but it doesn't engage as much as the First-Hour does. The Adapted Screenplay offers plenty of action, blood & gore, but lacks sharpness in the Second-Hour. Dialogue will be loved by the masses. K. S. Ravikumar's Direction is over-the-top. Cinematography & Editing are standard. Music by Himesh Reshammiya & Meet Bros Anjjan, is good. Action-Sequences are awesome.
Performance-Wise: Sanjay Dutt is in form. He enacts the tough cop effortlessly. His Fans will love him, once again! Prachi Desai gets limited scope. Prakash Raj is the same as he was in Wanted & Singham. There's no novelty as far as his character & performance are concerned. Manoj Joshi is efficient. Rajpal Yadav & Rajat Rawail don't raise many laughs. Mukesh Tiwari, Murli Sharma & Raju Mawani are perfect. Om Puri is adequate.
On the whole, 'Policegiri' will work strictly for those who love vintage masala films.
