One Line Review: A badly directed 'action flick' portraying an honest law abiding man's struggle against a powerful corrupt goon, with hardly anything worthwhile to watch. Positive Points: The overall plot of the film. Negative Points: Below average direction, average cinematography, unrealistic action sequences, unsatisfactory character performances and below average music. Plot: Half part of the film is a flashback, where Singh Saab (Sunny Deol) narrates the incidents that took place seven years back when he was an accomplished and honest district collector, which changed his life and its purpose. Soon after bashing up a local goon in his town (Shabaaz Khan), he is confronted by a news channel journalist Chaturvedi (Amrita Rao) about his alleged role in a major corruption case and how he was shortly released without completing his term. Refuting the journalist's claims, he narrates the whole string of incidences that occurred seven years back in the town of Bhadauri in Eastern U.P. Due to his honest, idealistic and straight forward ways of functioning, Saranjeet Talwar (the character's real name) became a major obstacle for Bhoodev (Prakash Raj), a powerfully rich and corrupt descendant of local rulers. After he slaps the arrogant Bhoodev for his indecent remark about his sister Simran (Anjali Abrol) then begins a vicious turn of events where this slap is avenged and ultimately results in his wife Vinnie's (Urvashi Rautela) death and his arrest on false charges of corruption. After getting out of jail, our hero takes on a new identity and the oath to transform the society through social commitment and people's involvement. However, the past seems to repeat itself, when he comes across his old foe, who too recognizes him in blink of an eye. This is followed by chain of events that repeat the history of enmity and ultimately result in the obvious, but a bit unexpected. Direction And Other Technical Aspects: It would be apt to say that the direction by Anil Sharma is quite below average. The direction fails to create a strong presence of an effective plot, which portrays the struggle of an honest public servant against a powerful goon. The cinematography is average with camera angles conforming to today's trend. However, it suits perfectly to its action sequences. The action sequences are nothing more than what we can call 'masala action'. The fight scenes would make one wonder if Sunny Deol's character is almost a superman in the film. With flying goons and the ability to stop a moving SUV by holding its tires with bare hands, one can easily make out that the action is nothing more than childish and too an extent idiotic. Performances: Sunny Deol with his usual delivery of strong dialogues and the right balance of calm and temper is undoubtedly the central part of the whole film. For Sunny Deol fans, his performance reflects the same 'dhai kilo ka haath' strongman personality with the ability to maintain his calm in casual as well as tense scenes. Debutant Urvashi Rautela who plays the role of his lovely wife, fails to deliver the expected with a very below average performance. Prakash Raj succeeds in capturing the local lingo and mannerisms to fit his evil character in the frame of the film. However many parts in the film seem like a childish drivel due to poor and annoyingly unnecessary dialogues. Music: Music isn't much worth listening to and the audiences have to literally carry themselves through the songs to get to the other side. 'Daru Band Kal Se' is somewhat tolerable and the only song that one may enjoy is the item number 'Palang Todh'. Final verdict: Though the film tries to show the fight put up by a common man and his subsequent sufferings, the poor direction, unsophisticated dialogues, unrealistic action and other such unwanted elements spoil the film and bring to the below mediocre level. It is a worth watch for hardcore Sunny Deol fans, but even they will have to tolerate much of the film.
