Such a frustrating disappointment

Memorable, crazy movie

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

RKS has made several great films like Ghayal, Damini, while GHATAK too was good, He made TLOBS with Ajay Devgan giving him a national award KHAKEE is the first time he works with BIG B and the film was hyped a lot and people expected a lot from the film. KHAKEE is known for many reasons, first of all it resurrected Akshay's career and people noticed his comic timing for the first time. It also was considered one of the best films made on cops. The film does have some issues more on that later. The film starts off well, the director tries to establish most characters possible though he does stick to clichés too like Angre's character could be better, even ther eare lot of clichés and filmy dialogues yet the film is hardhitting, especially when AB fights against the system, the attack on the cops while going to chandangadh though at times there are some filmy stunts which look odd. The film also suffers due to the forced song and dance yet must say this is one of the best cop films in bollywood. The twist at the interval and at the finale do shock you too.Direction by RKS is great Music seems forced though VAADA RAHA is goodAmitabh Bachchan is simply outstanding in the role, the trauma, pain is all well brought out, his scenes in the police station, his confrontation with ANGRE are all fantastic. Sadly he didn't receive any award for his act. Akshay Kumar's comic bone got noticed in this film and after this in MSK, he is simply terrific in his role though at times his role does tend up to be silly yet he is also fab in the dramatic and emotional scenes, his pre interval clash with BIG B is superb and also his pre climax scene. Aishwarya Rai hardly gets scope though her pre climax twist is well handled. Ajay Devgan does get a clichéd role but he is superb in his negative role again after Deewangee, his face offs with BIG B are simply outstanding.Tusshar is sincere though at times his dialogue delivery does seem forced. Amongst rest, Prakash Raj has a brief role and is good though his voice is dubbed, Sabyasachi Chakravarthy is excellent in his role, Atul Kulkarni leaves a mark, Jaya Pradha is as usual in a brief role, Tanuja is good in her role, Kamlesh Sawant, Ashwini are fab Rest are okay.

I really loved this film, it had a lot of action, romance and brilliant music, it was action and drama all the way through. Akshay Kumar's character was just great as a cop, he really suited the role and played it really well, Aishwarya was just amazing played her role really well in the movie not to mention that she looked fantastic and i loved the music, and she danced well as always in her films .Ajay played his part very well too as a villain and Big B was great too in the film ,the only thing that put me off was Tushaar Kapoor,i can't stand him and they should have casted someone else instead cause he just can't act.You must check this movie out, it is just great.

Another trademark Rajkumar Santoshi film, characterized by sterling performances, coupled with top-notch direction. Story may not be perfect, but acting, direction and screenplay are. This is what you expect from a Rajkumar Santoshi film.Story is the routine police drama, with some surprises thrown in. An honest police officer, Amitabh Bachchan, on the verge of retirement, is sent on a suicidal mission to escort a terrorist (Atul Kulkarni), to Mumbai. Accompanying him is a team consisting of a corrupt, but brave police officer (Akshay Kumar), a rookie inspector (Tushar Kapoor) and 2 constables, all the while chased by a gang of terrorists led by Ajay Devgan. The trials, challenges and betrayals this team faces forms the crux of the story.Some trademark Rajkumar Santoshi features:- 1. Amitabh's altercation with a police officer by reminding him of his duty. 2. The scene where Ajay Devgan and his gang has the team hostage. 3. The climax. 4. Amitabh Bachchan's meeting with the CM.Everyone has acted well in the movie. This is possibly Amitabh's finest cinematic role after his legendary Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in Agneepath. Ajay Devgan is menacing as Yashwanth Angrey. Akshay Kumar's run of super-roles started with this movie. Atul Kulkarni shows his class. But, the real surprise package of the movie was Tushar Kapoor. It is probably his finest role-to-date.Don't miss watching this movie!!!! Not for entertainment, but what good performance is all about.

Oh, so close! They should have had it. Going into the intermission, this was the most gripping thriller to come out of Bollywood in years. In fact, I didn't want to leave my seat as I was afraid I'm miss something when the movie would commence.But alas, I wish I did. The movie was a perfect mountain of sorts, straight up and then straight down. In short, it was ruined.There were some brilliant performances by the actors in this movie. Most notably, Akshay Kumar's performance was highly entertaining and added a comic element to the movie. Ajay Devgan played a convincing and worthy antagonist, while AB, Aish, and Tushar Kapoor did quite well.The blame for this movie not being an incredible one goes to the writers. It was directed with a lot of style and the actors gave it their all. But the script didn't live up to its end of the bargain. Nevertheless, it's still worth watching. If only for the first half. 7/10.
