Shagird

SALUTE TO THE WHOLE TEAM of SHAGIRD. No match to this movie. Much better direction and production, 100 steps forward to Ab Tak Chappan. Again you need sharp mind to understand this movie and enjoy the reality of Cop System specially about Delhi NCR's Land Mafia and politics. A MUST WATCH movie. I have watched it at least 10 times till the date and this will be a better movie to watch even after 10 years as I know no one can make this kinda movie in future too easily.

This the best movie I ever saw in my life so energetic with better pace than any Indian Movie. You feel like you are watching some of the best JASON STATHAM action Hollywood Movie. Even there are too less movies which can be compared as good as Shagird in Hollywood too.

JUST A REAL ACTION, DRAMA movie and if you know a little about Indian Politics and system then any one can enjoy this. While watching this movie you will forget about pop corns.

No nonsense no song movie taking place in Delhi starring Nana and Mohit Ahlawat. Hanumant Singh (Nana Patekar) Police officer, with differing principles, newly joined police officer Mohit (Mohit Ahlawat) ethical? play out this drama in a background of politics and goons. Hanumant Singh & Bunty Bhaiya (Anurag Kashyap) work for big political leader Rajmani Singh (Zakir Hussain), an usual corrupt leader.

Numerous twists and turns dominate the movie with Rimmi sen playing the role of a journalist. Money plays a dominant role throughout the movie. Movie is well made without any heroes or villains as all are gray shady everyday characters.

Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Shagird' is a well-made, gripping film, that has many twists & turns on its side. But, above all, its Nana Patekar, who deserves the highest praises. Like Always, The National-Award-Winning Iconic Actor, pitches in a Masterful Performance & Own This Film!

'Shagird' Synopsis: A rookie cop questions the tactics of his superior, and attempts to track the abductors of his girlfriend.

'Shagird' went unnoticed at the box office, and that's truly sad. Its a well-made, gripping film, along-with some clever twists & turns. The film does have some minuses, but overall, the pluses outshine the minuses.

Tigmanshu Dhulia's Screenplay is gripping & offers some very good twists. His Direction, on the other-hand, is competent. Cinematography & Editing are ordinary.

Nana Patekar's Masterful Performance is truly the Highlight of this under-rated flick. The Amazing Actor sinks his teeth into the part & performs like a freaking rock-star. This performance is among his best to date. Among other performances, Mohit Ahlawat does a fair job. Zakir Hussain & Anurag Kashyap are superb.

On the whole, 'Shagird' is a well-made film in all respects. A Must See for Nana Patekar Fans!

Shahgird, directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, is a gripping crime thriller that delves into the darker side of law enforcement and the moral complexities of its officers. The film follows a seasoned, cynical cop, portrayed by Nana Patekar, who runs an unorthodox and corrupt unit in a dangerous city. His young, idealistic recruit, played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, finds himself torn between his duties and the brutal reality of the police force.

Patekar's commanding performance is the standout, capturing his character's moral decay and ruthless nature with finesse. Ayyub also shines in his role, bringing emotional depth to his character's inner conflict. The film's intense narrative is complemented by Dhulia's sharp direction and a dark, moody atmosphere that keeps the audience engaged throughout. However, Shahgird is not without its flaws, with certain plot elements feeling predictable. Still, it remains an engaging portrayal of power, loyalty, and corruption.

Shagird is the movie every fan of Ab Tak Chhappan has been waiting for. Nana Patekar reprises his encounter specialist cop act, this time in darker shades for director Tigmanshu Dhulia and again carries the film on his veteran shoulders. It finally portrays Dhulia's potential which was being promised to us for long and delivers a thrilling chor-police movie, though not as memorable as Ab Tak Chhappan perhaps.

From the beginning we find out that the film is a no-nonsense gripping thriller with the emphasis on storytelling rather than traditional Bollywood entertainment. There isn't much on the songs front, but there are enough twists to make even the experienced fan interested as the story never gets too predictable.

Youngster Mohit Ahlawat has been given a golden opportunity to shine alongside Nana and almost makes the most of it. Zakir Hussain is outstanding as the corrupt minister and this could be his best performance yet. Shagird also stars maverick new-age director Anurag Kashyap in his longest role as an actor yet. But again, none of them would even be noticed if it wasn't for the charismatic Nana (who has recently given majestic restrained performances in Raajneeti and Ab Tak Chhappan and another one here in Shagird) as the no-conscience police officer Hanumant Singh who is like a demi-god in the Delhi Police, known for his bravery in the field against the criminals. But what lies beneath is what the young shagird, meaning understudy, Mohit Kumar (Mohit Ahlawat) finds out quickly. Does he have enough courage and grit to stand by his morals? Find out. Watch Shagird if you're Nana's fan or if you want to become one.
