Its an out an out stylish electrifying crime thriller which reminds me of the good old 70's cinema. A movie full of magical background score, powerhouse acting by Devgan and Imran and above all super cool dialogs (listen to them carefully, they are the real winners).
The movie portrays rise of smuggler Sultan Mirza (Ajay Devegan) in the Mumbai crime scenario. Sultan is a stylish smuggler who made money by trafficking the contra-bands and used his might to help out the downtrodden. Sultan loves Mumbai and wants it to be clean and for that objective he cuts a deal with other operating crime lords and distributes the areas of Mumbai among themselves so as to bring the inter gang rivalry to an end. Because of his larger than life image, many youngsters start to idolize him and among them is one small time thief, Shoaib (Imran Hashmi).
Shoaib is a son of a policeman and does not have much of a future yet wants to reach to the top and live a luxurious life and for that he is ready to anything. Soon he crosses path with Sultan and starts working with him. Soon Shoaib rises in ranks due to his daredevil attitude and a shrewd mind and wins the trust of Sultan. He soon becomes the close confederate of Sultan. Where Sultan had some principles for life, Shoiab has none and thus when Sultan leaves his temporarily leaves his Empire, he entrusts Shoiab with the responsibility.
However, because of power and money hungriness of Shoaib and Sultan's never compromising attitude towards certain principles, both head for a showdown.
Though loosely based on the lives of legendary smuggler Hazi Mastan and his protégé Daud Ibrahim, this flick takes creative liberty to tell the story with many imaginary sub plots yet the director is able to maintain the realistic feel to the movie. However, the end is bit clichéd but then "who is complaining"!!
A worth a watch for the style, panache, background score, decent performances by Huda and Kangna and once again, for its dialogs. So till the next time, "Duaon me yaad rakhna"
