To describe this crude and garish film as mediocre would be too charitable.
Arjun Ranawat (Salman Khan) is an upright Mumbai police officer who is constantly pushed to the limits of his tolerance by criminal elements in Mumbai. When the heat gets too much, the criminals turn the screws on their politician benefactors to get the cops off their back.
Things come to a head when the criminals bring their attacks to Arjun's family.
The film throws the spotlight on that most unique Indian invention in crime control - the so-called "Encounter" in which Indian police officers routinely kill allegedly bad guys in staged encounters.
The fighting scenes look downright ridiculous. As the night club crooner Jannat and Salman's amour, Shilpa Shetty has a limited role in this movie.
The songs are as bad as the rest of the movie. - Copyright SearchIndia.com.
