Shagird

Simple awesome! That's how I'd best describe this movie if words were limited. But words won't do. You've got to watch this film to know what I mean.

A cop story against the corrupt system, which is so often covered in Bollywood, but with twists and turns and action scenes that you will NEVER expect, and awesome dialogue work by Nana Patakar will keep you hooked for the entire length of the film.

Music is alright, the storyline is the best. There is no choreography.

Seriously, this film deserved more attention.

9 on 10 for Shagird.

I am somehow surprised with the way this movie deals with itself. It showcases the various sides of human nature, most importantly greed.

Corruption is in center-stage here as Nana Patekar defies the odd and establishes his own aura in the police department. His connection with the ministers go awry when greed kicks in & that is what the movie is all about. Supporting cast is great & the characters played by them is very genuine. A parade of surprises in the second half will blow your mind, as the plot paces. Anurag Kashyap & Zakir Hussain are charming.

But, Training Day (2001) is better as Shagird goes low in film-making factors. No, Tigmanshu Dhulia is a genius, but camera work & editing & BG score are what I'm disappointed with. A little more polishing could've made me rate higher than 7.1.

BOTTOM LINE: Recommended for people who enjoy action-crime movies like Ab Tak Chappan! It entertains!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

Profanity: Mild | Violence/Gore: Very Critical | Smoking: Strong | Drugs: No | Alcohol: Mild | Sex/Nudity/Foreplay: No | Vulgarity: Very Mild

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.

The movie plot is very similar but Nana acting as always steals the show the first half is shaky but the second half is very good and it's a many time watchalbe film

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!
