The greatest movie ever!

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Salman Khan shines in these kinds of roles; his performance is good as expected. Amrish Puri also did well in the movie along with Arbaaz Khan and Shilpa Shetty. Mukesh rishi was also OK. Others such as Farida Jalal and Anupam Kher were half-decent too. There's only one good song in the movie: 'soniye to soni'. The story is good and so too are the dialogues, most of which are delivered by Salman Khan. What is best about the movie is the action. A lot of people will say 'ouch' quite a lot throughout the movie and/or turn their head the other way. It is, after all, quite gruesome.Verdict:you must watch it if you're not squeamish. Since i'm not squeamish, I give it 8/10

The story is presented in an interesting timeframe. The opening scene shows a mob of people booing Salman as he goes to jail after a mass murder of politicians. The majority of the story takes place in a flashback showing how corruption dominates politics and the police force. Salman and his partner Arbaaz's heroic efforts to bring peace to Mumbai reach several steps to success but also to tragic failure and sacrifice. There's also an interesting segment based on religious prejudice in the government. Salman and Arbaaz's innovate concept of an "encounter team" sparks immense shock and controversy in the city. The entire story boils down to the climactic court case of Salman, which has several interesting elements to it. The Khan brothers give a good performance. Shilpa's role is very miniscule and meaningless.

If there are two idiot actors in Indian films, the credit should go to Salman (Shirtless) Khan and Arbaaz (goofy) Khan. The 23 odd reels, are based on these two imbeciles walking around with a chip on their shoulders, as if they are the only conscious of the society. As usual there is ethnic diversity in the names, and ethnic conflicts that seems to be indigenous to the police force in a big city where as other cities don't seem to have these conflicts or the conflicts are not subject for a thriller as in this Magnum Trash called "Garv-Pride and Honor". As usual the politicians are corrupt and the cops are ordained from GOD to bring good will and peace to this Metropolis. Apparently corruption is very rampant where a policeman would rip his shirt off denouncing the hierarchy, and it takes only few phone calls by Salman, the guy is back to work-it is amazing what a lousy script can do to a Hindi movie. The movie is for someone who has absolutely and positively nothing to do and have fetish for looking at two degenerate morons for actors. These maggots would be better off selling kabobs in Kabul.

I had huge expectations for the film. There was quite a bit of hype for the film, considering it is Salman's first film since his last film, the excellent critically acclaimed Tere Naam. One thing going against the film is the fact so many cop flicks have been released eg Khakee, Ann, Police Force etc. Out the ones released Khakee being the best one.However, Salman Khan's bravado performance was awesome. Salman Khan is the best in the industry at portraying intimidating characters. Tere Naam is another example of this. Salman Khan makes it believable. At the same time he easily portrays the good son, good brother, good friend and lover at the same time.Punnet Isaar's script is too outdated to work in this era. Baghban was an exception , however that film had an emotional appeal as the basis of the story happens in this day and age still. Overall, just watch it for Salman Khan's bravado performance. As an overall film, it is poor.
