Aan: Men at Work

Akshay Kumar is in a gem of a character as the Head of Police Squad , who follows the protocol of the system even if it is not morally right , but in a course of movie he stands up for his colleagues & bend the rules. Sunil Shetty , a short - tempered officer with a good comic timing , Paresh Rawal & Rajpal Yadav brings laughter in this serious cop movie , Shatrughan Sinha also plays a good Buddy Role of Cop with Sunil Shetty. Irfan Khan is unmatchable as a mob , and drug mafia.Jackie Shroff & Raveena Tandon are good too.

2004 action film that brings together an ensemble cast for a gritty portrayal of police officers battling corruption. The film, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, offers a mix of intense action sequences and a narrative that delves into the challenges faced by law enforcement.

The movie explores themes of duty, honor, and the complex dynamics within the police force. While it received praise for its realistic depiction of police work, some critics felt that the storyline was formulaic and predictable. The performances of the ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Shatrughan Sinha, were generally well-received, adding depth to the characters they portrayed.

The film's soundtrack, composed by Anu Malik, complements the on-screen drama with its energetic and pulsating tunes. "Aan: Men at Work" may not have redefined the genre, but it remains a notable addition to the action genre of Indian cinema in the mid-2000s, offering audiences an engaging glimpse into the challenges faced by those committed to upholding the law. Story was kinda Similar to Khakee 2004 staring AK.

Aan-Men At Work is an average cop movie.It was flop considering there was huge flood of cop movies during 2004.

Direction by Madhur Bhandarkar is not up to the mark. He could have made better cop movie but since producers wanted to commercialize it his direction left lot to be desired.

Performance wise, Akshay Kumar did well although he did such roles before.Sunil Shetty was okay. Lara Dutta and Raveena Tandon were wasted. Shatrughan Sinha was also okay. Paresh Rawal was good. Irrfan Khan was highlight. Jackie Shroff and other villains were okay.

Overall an okay movie which could have been better considering the plot and director it had.

I just Saw this Movie again 2020. And dear Lord what was going on, they used so much time on utter rubbish, the Movie makers tried to make it stylish but failed Big time, they even tried to make it look Hollywood gangster type, but failed again, each action sequence is so bad and fake to watch, that it hurts. The story wasnt bad, but with the wooden acting by sitrugan sinha, and over the stop acting by sunil shetty it was painfull to watch, jackie shroff didnt fit in Well, he looked more like a Hollywood b grade villain.

Irfan Khan and akshay kumar, paresh rawal held it Well, and gets 2 stars. Rest is forgettable.

The Movie is: Outdated, way to long, Hollywood copied action scenes, filled with cliches, bad and dumb dialoges, and inconsistant screenplay.

In a span of few movies, including the last one "Satta", Bhandarkar has gotten a reputation as a good director, albeit he is not in the same league as a Varma. The movie is loaded with "Stars" some of them good some of them not so good as in Akshay Kumar and Suneil Shetty who will never know what acting is as long as they are gainfully employed. Irfan Khan, here is an actor who I think is born to portray "Bhai" the Mumbai equivalent of "Don". He is typecast in roles like "Pran" was in the yesteryear movies and rightfully so. There is plenty of action, but the flaw I see is a poor script and Screenplay with few gems. I think Madhur Bhandarkar is good in a documentary style movies like "Chandini Bar", "Satta" where his real talent is-in other words this is a "bummer from a Helmer" the caliber of Bhandarkar.
