Aan: Men at Work

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.

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

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OK the movie is nothing but a clichéd cop film and is damn outdated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Action scenes are outdated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

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.

Oh my goodness, this movie was absolutely terrible. Within the first second of the film, I could sense boredom. This movie is so bad, I'm speechless. I don't think I have ever fast forwarded so much of a movie before. I seriously watched like ten minutes of the two-hour and forty-five-minute movie. Raveena and Lara had probably total like five minutes. The other five minutes that I watched was the "Nasha Nasha" song. It had a catchy beat and a cool set. My gosh, there was so much pointless fighting and yelling. I wonder if the producer actually expected to make a profit by making such a movie. Except for Hera Pheri, the makers of this movie have made way too many trashy movies.
