Sapoot starts with some promise, especially while Kader Khan's character is alive. In fact, the opening portions almost feel like they are trying to replicate The Godfather in an Indian setup-family loyalty, crime, and betrayal. Up to that point, the film is tolerable.
But once Kader Khan's character dies, the movie collapses into chaos. The storyline loses direction and turns into a collection of absurd, over-the-top sequences that insult the viewer's intelligence. The plot twist where Akshay Kumar, the son of a gangster, suddenly becomes a police officer is perhaps one of the most laughable and illogical points in the film. In what world does the son of a known criminal, who himself is involved in underworld activity, get a government job-let alone as a law enforcer? This isn't just unrealistic, it's downright stupid.
The director, Jagdish A. Sharma, clearly had no control over the script after the halfway mark. Instead of a tight crime drama, he delivers a mess of forced action scenes, loud villains, and mindless drama. Characters stop making sense, and the narrative becomes both predictable and unintentionally comical.
Sapoot tries to be The Godfather, but ends up a badly written caricature. It wastes talented actors like Kader Khan, and drags down the reputation of stars like Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty by giving them roles filled with illogical decisions and zero dept.
