Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007)


Shootout At Lokhandwala
(you might already know this) is a film based the true story of the clash between the Mumbhai Police and five members of gang members. The police squad were lead by inspector Khan (Sanjay Dutt) and the gangsters by Maya (Vivek Oberoi). Other actors who have played major roles in this film are Amitabh Bachchan, Sunil Shetty, Arbaaz Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Aarti Chhabria, Rohit Roy, Neha Dhupia, Diya Mirza, Amrita Singh and Abhishek Bachchan. Shootout is directed by Apoorva Lakhia. It is quite a good movie. It is not for you, if you are a little weak in heart because there's quite a lot of blood and death. There is one thing I would like to complain about and that is Tusshar playing Buwa's role. It just doesn't seem right; Buwa in reality was one of the coldest killers and Mr. Kapoor doesn't quite portray that. In fact none of the actors playing the gang members have acted up to the reputation of the actual gangsters, turning them into nicer people instead of the ruthless killers that they were. This probably is an intentional effort by the director, but this results in the viewers sympathizing with the gang members. Anyway, it is a very entertaining film, specially for the fans of the gangsta genre.

Contributions have been made multiple composers/directors in the music department including Anand Raj Anand, Mika, Biddu and Strings. The diversity in music direction and style has played quite well for Shootout. I hope you like it.
