One Line Review: A repeated story armed with old packaging

Positive Points: None.

Negative Points: Poor direction, appalling costumes, non-realistic storyline, feeble script, lackluster music.

Plot: The movie kickstarts from an incident, in which an atrocious amount of money goes out missing during a gang-war taking place in Mumbai. In order to stop the gang-war, four daredevil police officials are deployed - Eklavya Karmarkar (Suniel Shetty), Madhav Sinha (Mahakshay Chakraborty), Naeem Shaikh (Kay Kay Menon) and Eric Collaco (Johny Lever). These four police officers nab the city's underworld don Mukhtar Menon (Zakir Hussain) behind the bars, as he is the root cause of this gang-war. The main reason behind mushrooming of this gang-war hides in the robbery of Mukhtar's money at the hands of some strangers. This incident invites a gang-war between Mukhtar and the other gangsters. The bloodshed does not come to an end in spite of putting Mukhtar under strict check.

Here enters a CBI officer Yugantar Sharma (Mithun Chakraborty) for investigating this case and seeking out the spy, who is interrupting their efforts. CBI officer Yugantar Sharma gives rise to a situation, which will assist the police department in finding out the real rival. A cat and mouse game to solve the entire perplexity starts between the gang of Eklavya and CBI officer Yagantar Sharma's gang.

Direction And Other Technical Aspects: It can be said that the director Ashu Trikha remained glued to the underworld dons' customary nexus, corrupt police officers and determined support of politicians to all this. The outdated approach towards crime-saga could be well-received by the viewers, if it was formed in 1980's or 1990's, just like any other action-flick by Mithun Chakraborty. Keeping in mind the latest trends in crime-thriller, it disappoints oneself with great intensity.

The manner in which the movie was directed could not conveniently go well. Also the script was a galore of flaws and completely baseless. The concept of gang-war, helplessness of police and political intervening went useless in creating wonders in the storyline. The drama fails to take off especially in the first half of the movie. The one-dimensional characters fall short to convince the overall flow of the movie. From technical point of view, the movie seems a couple of decades old. It seems it aims at sheer coverage of events and not the aesthetics. Also the characters do not fit in their respective attire, such as Mithun Chakraborty does not feel appealing as CBI officer and all the four police officers need some sprucing up to actually look like police. The action sequences lack realism, poorly executed and make the movie saddled with fights. The camerawork was average.

Performance: Suniel Shetty performed at average level playing his part conveniently. The performance by Mithun Chakraborty was standard and obviously can't relate to his performances in earlier movies. Mahakshay Chakraborty needs some fitness and requires some polishing on his voice quality while delivering the dialogues. Kay Kay Menon also gave an average performance and his acting displays monotony. Seeing Johny Lever in the attire of a police officer is a hard fact to digest, as he has never been seen with stern expressions on his face.

Music: One cannot expect much from the music of this film directed by Gourav Dasgupta, as it fails to dilute with the flow of film. The item song seems immature attempt to create magic.

Final Verdict: Rather than concentrating on the numerology part while giving title to the film, it would have been far better if the makers would have worked on the betterment of its story. It is better to stay away from the film, but if one wishes to watch, see it just for Mithun Chakraborty and for watching the father-son duo appearing together on the screen for the first time.
