Set in the backdrop of Lucknow, this movies explores the rising of Organised Crimes in Uttar Pradesh and its link with politics and government machinery. Also a police officer's desperate measure to eradicate this evil and how the system goes against him and then comes at par to solve this menace.
This movie also shows the brilliance of the police officers in solving a crime done in a very new fashion, as of then. Also, the inter-connection of crime and politics and the weakness of system is depicted.
Based on the real lives of gangster Shiv Prakash Shukla and SSP Arun Kumar, this is a must see.

One of the most valiant efforts from a débutant director. I went out to watch the movie as I had nothing else to do and with no expectation at all, and till date I have watched it 5 times!!! The story is inspired by real life incidents. A cop(Arshad Warsi) is on the hunt for a young mafia don(Sushant Singh). This simple story line is backed with some very powerful performances and brilliant dialouges. The handling of the script keeps your interest alive throughout the movie. The movie has some breath taking moments and it is sans any sort of melodrama, though there was ample scope for it.
Though all the actors have excelled in the movie, I would like to shower additional praises on pankuj kapur.What a performance it is, and what a tragedy that it will go unnoticed, as very few people have even heard about this movie!!!!!

I finally got the CD (original) and watched it. What a great movie. Too bad that it didn't get much audience. Now a days movies which can throw in money for publicity makes a lot of money whether they are junk or not (for eg. Kabhi alvida na kehna).
Inspired by real life incidents, the movie depicts the story of Ajay Kumar (Arshad Warshi), new SSP of Lucknow who wants to eliminate crime from Uttar Pradesh. At the same time (which is 1997), Gajraj Singh (Sushant Singh) the new age criminal leader is evolving. He eliminates the old dons one by one and becomes the leader. Organized crime gets at its pick.
The new SSP has a bunch of brave,honest police officers under him. When criminals started using cell phones, he takes the help of Pankaj Kapoor, a professor of telecommunications. The battle between the police officers and the criminals goes on through the whole movie.
Briliiantly portrayed, the characters are as real as they can be. The nexus between railway contracts with builders, politician and criminals are shown in very real times.
The performance is brilliant. Arshad Warshi surprises everyone with his strong and controlled performance. Sushant Singh is brilliant as the mastermind criminal. Mahima Choudhary gives a sweet performance as Ajay's love interest.
Overall a great movie. If you get the chance, don't miss it.

Arshad Warsi a name who is synonymous with comedies But in this film he proved he can excel in serious roles as well
The film is a cop drama maybe a story not too new but brilliantly handled Sadly such films don't' catch the fancy of our janta who call such films dry, depressing.etc and praise craps like OSO.etc and then the same people say Bollywood is crap
Back to the film The film is set in 1997 when Mobile technology was a new term and mobiles were used by few people The film tells a normal story of a cop vs underworld but it's treated brilliantly
The cop isn't a 6 feet hero or a typical Hindi film hero He is a simple man, clad in Formals The only distraction in the film is the love story but if they make a film without songs, romance people will even more criticise it
The clash with the underworld, the use of Pankaj Kapur as a communication expert and also the fights using pistols are used brilliantly and give the film a realistic feel
Direction is awesome Music is okay Camera-work is perfect
Arshad Warsi known for his comic roles does an about turn and dons a serious cop role perfectly, this is an understated performance from him I wish he does such roles now wherein his comic streak is become boring Mahima is wasted Sushant Singh is good in his stereotypical role Pankaj Kapur excels Rajendra Gupta and others are adequate Suhasini Mulay is good

This is one of few Bollywood movies which i have watched multiple times. The story is fast paced, acting top class and cherry on the top - no songs. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to enjoy a weekend with a movie. Acting is top class not from the leads but from each and every actor in the movie. No actor used as prop.
A excellent cat and mouse game between cops and gangsters !!
The movie is so nice that i request everyone not to use pirated copy but use original so that bollywood learns the value of making good movie.
One suggestion: Do not watch this movie with friends/family/kids who can disturb you while watching it as you will end up getting angry.
