More of the same.......

Nothing new to watch here. The reasons why this movie flopped at the box office. Plot more or less the same. There was no development or progression of the characters. Just an abrupt drop in which doesn't sit well with the audience. The younger Boxerbhai was an absolute garbage actor who shouldn't have been casted in such an important role. This ruined the build up of the protagonist and the movie. Pankaj Berry and Anup Soni as Fracture Pandya clan was another mismatch of casting. Vaastav had a realistic feel while Hathyar looked fake as producers just wanted to cash in the success of its predecessor. If you have another option to watch, do it.

Quotes
DCP Kishore Kadam: Now look Rohit. The path you're walking on will take you only to death.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Which path doesn't lead to death?
DCP Kishore Kadam: Like father, like son. Power brokers like Digamber Patil are loyal to no one. You have his blessings today. The day you don't, you'll die a dog's death.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Ever since I've chosen this path, I've always been prepared to die. If I wish I can have Digamber Patil finished off in an hour. I can topple the Chief Minister Ajit Rao Desai in a single day, if I wish.
DCP Kishore Kadam: You're under an illusion. If we receive the CM's orders, you guys will be in your graves within 24 hours. After ages we have found an honest and upright CM. But dogs like Digamber Patil won't let him work with honesty.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): But he's still in his chair, isn't he?
DCP Kishore Kadam: Yes. Because the day he finds the opportunity, he'll clean out all the filth. You won't find a place to hide in the whole state, even if you look for it.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Will the scores of Digamber Patils let him occupy the CM's chair till then, Mr. DCP? Today corruption is a part of our lives, DCP, and honest man is a liability.
DCP Kishore Kadam: But, one day honesty will triumph. Honesty will win.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): You're fooling yourself. I must leave now uncle. Should you ever need me, do send for me. I have contacts up there.
