Not having much interest in action movies and abhorring violence, I avoided this movie for a quite a few months after its release, but I constantly was hearing good things about it. I finally got the willpower to rent this movie, and I was delightfully surprised. This isn't your ordinary dose of dhishum-dhishum nor your typical "underworld/taking a harsh look at reality" flick. Ram Gopal Verma ensures the audience never has a chance to lose their attention, even for a split second. There's no background information, no detailed explanation of events, etc.--just a straight cut to the chase. One by one, each of the plot's events take place in rapid succession leaving the audience with plenty to ponder about. The climax is totally unexpected (as is most of the movie) and has wonderful dialogues. The strength of this movie is definitely its slick and powerful script. Nana Patekar gives a good performance.
