Aan: Men at Work

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.

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The Movie is: Outdated, way to long, Hollywood copied action scenes, filled with cliches, bad and dumb dialoges, and inconsistant screenplay.

I really enjoyed this movie, it has all the elements. Action, thrill, politics, fun, great acting, little comedy is also there. Highly recommended.

Madhur Bandarkar started his career with TRISHAKTI a commercial film which bombed and then he made art films like Chandni Bar, Satta and got a niche audience for himself

And then suddenly he makes a big budget Firoz Nadiadwala film AAN MEN AT WORK oh my god?

With a huge cast starring Akshay, Suneil, Paresh(regulars of Firoz), and then Jackie Shroff, Raveena, Irrfan.etc and also his regulars like Manoj Joshi.etc

OK the movie is nothing but a clichéd cop film and is damn outdated

The film is actually script less, it's a jerky film with change of focus from a cop film to a commercial film to a song- dance film.etc

Luckily there isn't too much of romance, emotions.etc or it would be more boring

The starting 40 minutes seemed to be shot in sleep by the director There are too many jump of characters and also boring long introduction sequences and the item songs

The old politician nexus everything seems old fashioned

The film does get interesting with the murder of Milind Gunaji and then the entire confrontation scenes between Irrfan- Akshay.etc but things get too boring and slow paced

The death scene of Suneil is so hilarious it makes you laugh

The last few scenes seem shot by the producer himself, if that is true what i heard, but there seem all going nowhere

Madhur handles a few scenes well, but the impact is missing

Music is routine, though Nasha stands out

Action scenes are outdated

Akshay Kumar gets the major focus and he excels in his serious cop role This is a far cry from his routine Daava, Insaaf type cop roles here he is a serious cop and he stands out

Suneil Shetty does a good job but hams badly in many scenes

Paresh Rawal has some good moments, while Irrfan steals the show with his unique style of humor and acting Shatrughan Sinha gets less importance and plays a second fiddle to Akshay, acting wise too he is a letdown He repeats his typical style and overdoes it His lectures are boring Raveena gets some few scenes are her role is badly sketched Preeti has no importance Om Puri too is wasted, Manoj Joshi stands out in his act, Here he gets to do lot more then just being a comedian and he is a stand out Jackie Shroff literally has 3-4 scenes and he is hardly there Rajpal, Vijay Raaz get less scope Rahul Dev is okay

It is very great film with great actors and good story, they should make sequel of this film
