This is How Movies Should Be Made

Thanks for the memories!

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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.

'Sehar' is pretty much just another cops vs bad guys movie. It isn't a bad movie per se but the film hardly has anything new to offer except that here they track the bad guys by tracing their mobile phone calls. The execution lacks style. The cinematography is flat and the score is unnoticeable. The pacing is rather slow at times. However, the final sequence, with the flashback sequences, camera-work and editing is exceptionally done and remains effective. If only the entire film was filmed this way. Arshad Warsi gives a sincere performance as a dedicated officer who's passionate about his job and determined to catch the criminals. Pankaj Kapur is remarkable in a rather simplistic role. Sushant Singh is wooden most of the time and caricatured. Suhasini Mulay leaves a mark with a small role. Mahima Chaudhry doesn't get much scope but she makes the best with what she's given. Overall, 'Sehar' is a pretty ordinary cop movie with a very good final sequence. It's not worth more than a one-time watch.

This movie shows what lack of publicity and promotion can do to a good movie.. A gem of a movie which somehow missed everyone's notice.. This movie gave a new look to the usual underworld saga by placing it in the UP hinterlands..It also had a very interesting star cast of rather talented but under-rated actors.. It was a pleasure seeing Arshad Warsi in a serious, single hero role.. Pankaj Kapur was marvelous as usual..Sushant singh was highly effective.. as usual..Suhasini Mulay did a good job...Had this movie been a little more promoted, it'd ve got the recognition it deserves. But now, it remains a good trivia movie...

This film by director Kabeer Kaushik, deals with organized crime in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP). But it tackles this from a decidedly different perspective -- that of law enforcement.The story involves an honest-to-death police officer who convinces his seniors that the only way to combat the mafia on their turf was to step outside the box, so to speak. The film depicts LE in a positive light, and successful in its strategy, despite usual political opposition. And in yet another departure, a good looking guy is cast as villain. He is effective except one doesn't quite feel like throttling him for all his misdeeds. Plot unfolds in a no-nonsense format and while the climax is not all that unexpected, its again different from convention.Some of the positive points include a low-key soundtrack as compared to the Blare Fare of typical Bollyfilms. Good acting on the part of Pankaj Kapur and Arshad Warsi in a leading role. The pace could have tightened up a bit had there been fewer scenes involving the mother and the wife-to-be. Only a couple of songs serve as background to the score.No need to keep pressing the >FF> button on the remote.
