Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

An over 2 and a half hour entertainer, this film promises to keep you over the edge.The concept is simply amazing, with superb acting on the apart of all actors, mainly Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, music is melodious and dialog delivery thunders throughout the film, with amazing fast paced action sequences.Story is about a police team that is given the mission of escorting a deadly terrorist to Mumbai with ISI aides behind to release him at any cost. But things turn out to be not what they seem to be for anyone. And the climax is something no one can expect.Even if there was no choreography, it would not have really mattered in this film. The film mainly depicts the lives of police officers and the corrupt political system in India. Akshay Kumar's performance is definitely commendable, and is probably the next best actor to Amitabh Bachchan.Don't miss Khakee. It's really cool.

Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai... need I say more? They all star in the best cop drama I have seen in a long time. Amitabh plays a police inspector who has been selected to lead a team of officers including two rookies to go escort a prisoner attached to the underworld back to the state to stand trial. Sounds easy enough eh? The only problem is that every team that has been sent on this mission impossible task has ended up either bombed or shot to death by ever eluding forces so far. The police force is under a lot of scrutiny with its reputation in limbo as they seem unable to uphold justice nor control these anarchists responsible for the obstruction of justice and the killings. But if you know Amitabh's characters well, then you know that there will be no such nonsense tolerated on his watch. He assembles a team that includes a wisecracking but corrupt Kumar, rookies that includes Tusshar Kapoor in his finest work to date, just to mention a few. They set out to go bring this prisoner to justice and pick up a stunningly beautiful eyewitness Malaxmi (Played by Aishwarya Rai) along the way. You can only imagine what happens to them on the way. Ajay Devgan is wickedly sinister here as the underworld hit-man on their trail. Both Kumar and Kapoor fall for Malaxmi despite the action and drama, but Kumar ends up getting the girl. In the midst of all the chaos, the writers manage to squeeze in three lovely song and dance numbers, two of which include Rai and Kumar serenading each other and one item number appearance by beauty queen Lara Dutta. I recommend this film for everyone who appreciates fine cinema. But keep in mind that in countries that use rating systems, this film would be Rated R or 18, so it's not something to watch with your preteen children.

I'm a big fan of Amitabh Baachan, and naturally I wouldn't miss this. His performance is superb. And I am not even Indian!!! I've watched hundreds of Hindi and Tamil movies. This is by far surpassed all of them. Rent it and watch it guys!!! The plot was very well written, some of them were a total surprise. It started out a little slow in the beginning, but there're some twists here and there. This is by far surpassed all of them. The newer actors carried out their performance very well, Ajay Devgan was awesome as the villain. And beautiful Aishwarya Rai, thought was great in the movie. Like I said , rent it and watch it!!!

Rajkumar Santoshi has an enviable portfolio with Ghayal, Damini, Andaz Apna Apna, China Gate, Ghatak, China Gate, Pukaar and Bhagat Singh. All his serious movies have intense moments, great dailogues and a great storyline. With Amitabh as the principal actor in this venture - audience were expecting Santoshi to pull up a fantastic feat. So what went wrong then? For starters, the length of the movie and then the sub-plots. The movie is loaded with twists. Count the number of them listed below:***** SPOILERS *******Atul Kulkarni not being a terrorist - Twist!Akshay Kumar change of heart to support a good mission - Twist!Ajay Devgan being an ex-cop - Twist!The CM being corrupt - Twist!The Commissioner being corrupt - Twist!The death of Atul Kulkarni - Twist!Change of heart by the officer-in-charge in Police Station - Twist!Deciphering the post box number where the important documents are stored - Twist!Aishwarya on the bad side - Twist!Tusshar finishing the evil for good - Twist, and the only acceptable one!Couldn't any of the regular baddie enacted the role of Aangre? Where was the value-addition of having Ajay Devgan?The story has its own doses of loopholes as well. Writer Shridhar Raghavan needed a proper reality check. Songs were not required neither the romantic track. This movie was projected as Zanjeer Part Two and had all of potential with story something like Amitabh falsely accused of letting the terrorist escape and the rest of the movie is how Amitabh comes out clean chit.Anyone who appears in the frame have been provided adequate scope to perform and have given their best - the director should be lauded in this respect.With given resources, a better product could have been churned out.
