an absolute classic . the direction be flawless and the acting be just superb . word fall short for this great work . the most definitive movie on mumbai police . this movie have stand the test of time . om puri give a stellar performance and smita patil no less . all the actor have do their best and the movie race on thrill you at every moment . this movie shake your whole be badly and force you to rethink about many issue that confront our society . this be the story of a cop ( om puri ) who start out in his career a a honest man but ultimately degenerate into a killer . the first attempt in bollywood to get behind the scene and expose the depressing truth about mumbai cop . kudos to nihalani . after this movie a slew of bollywood movie get release that expose the criminal politician police nexus . thus this movie be truly a trend setter . this trend dominate the hindi movie scene for more than a decade . this movie be a moderate box office hit . a must see for discern movie fan .
