Aan: Men at Work

I really enjoyed this movie, it has all the elements. Action, thrill, politics, fun, great acting, little comedy is also there. Highly recommended.

Aan-Men At Work is an average cop movie.It was flop considering there was huge flood of cop movies during 2004.

Direction by Madhur Bhandarkar is not up to the mark. He could have made better cop movie but since producers wanted to commercialize it his direction left lot to be desired.

Performance wise, Akshay Kumar did well although he did such roles before.Sunil Shetty was okay. Lara Dutta and Raveena Tandon were wasted. Shatrughan Sinha was also okay. Paresh Rawal was good. Irrfan Khan was highlight. Jackie Shroff and other villains were okay.

Overall an okay movie which could have been better considering the plot and director it had.

Akshay Kumar is in a gem of a character as the Head of Police Squad , who follows the protocol of the system even if it is not morally right , but in a course of movie he stands up for his colleagues & bend the rules. Sunil Shetty , a short - tempered officer with a good comic timing , Paresh Rawal & Rajpal Yadav brings laughter in this serious cop movie , Shatrughan Sinha also plays a good Buddy Role of Cop with Sunil Shetty. Irfan Khan is unmatchable as a mob , and drug mafia.Jackie Shroff & Raveena Tandon are good too.

It is very great film with great actors and good story, they should make sequel of this film

In a span of few movies, including the last one "Satta", Bhandarkar has gotten a reputation as a good director, albeit he is not in the same league as a Varma. The movie is loaded with "Stars" some of them good some of them not so good as in Akshay Kumar and Suneil Shetty who will never know what acting is as long as they are gainfully employed. Irfan Khan, here is an actor who I think is born to portray "Bhai" the Mumbai equivalent of "Don". He is typecast in roles like "Pran" was in the yesteryear movies and rightfully so. There is plenty of action, but the flaw I see is a poor script and Screenplay with few gems. I think Madhur Bhandarkar is good in a documentary style movies like "Chandini Bar", "Satta" where his real talent is-in other words this is a "bummer from a Helmer" the caliber of Bhandarkar.
