Awesome and one of the best cop films
9 April 2009
This is one of the best cop films except the Pak bashing which is one flaw yet the way the film is handled brilliantly

The cops aren't shown larger then life here and are shown realistic Also even a Muslim is shown as a good person and that z nice

The film follows a no nonsense approach and works well throughout Though the pace slows and drags at times when the focus goes on the villains but luckily they are several good scenes and brilliant handling that overpowers it

The climax is brilliant too, the face off between Naseer and Aamir is brilliant

John Matthew Mathan makes a commendable debut, his best work Sad he couldn't follow it up and made a dud like SHIKHAR Music is good and suits the film Cinematography is apt

Aamir played a cop in BAAZI with a filmy style but here he is more restrained, mature and natural He acts like he is for real and doesn't try to hog the limelight but let's us focus on the dialogs between the co-stars Mukesh Rishi for once gets an opportunity to act and be a good guy and he does a fantastic job as Salim He is superb, hope he gets such roles more Sonali provides comic relief and is good Naseeruddin Shah is given a clichéd role and he does well Amongst others Pradeep Singh Rawat(villain of Ghajini), Govind Namdeo and the cops are all perfect
