Shagird

I am somehow surprised with the way this movie deals with itself. It showcases the various sides of human nature, most importantly greed.

Corruption is in center-stage here as Nana Patekar defies the odd and establishes his own aura in the police department. His connection with the ministers go awry when greed kicks in & that is what the movie is all about. Supporting cast is great & the characters played by them is very genuine. A parade of surprises in the second half will blow your mind, as the plot paces. Anurag Kashyap & Zakir Hussain are charming.

But, Training Day (2001) is better as Shagird goes low in film-making factors. No, Tigmanshu Dhulia is a genius, but camera work & editing & BG score are what I'm disappointed with. A little more polishing could've made me rate higher than 7.1.

BOTTOM LINE: Recommended for people who enjoy action-crime movies like Ab Tak Chappan! It entertains!
