i still remember watch satya for the first time . i be completely blow away . here be a movie that be very different so from the other gangster film that i have see . so realistic and so mumbaiyya and so believable . despite company ( which be a very good effort ) and vaastav ( more focus on the journey of the protagonist ) which come close and no underworld movie could ever live up to satya . when i watch ab tak 56 for the first time and i say to myself indian cop have their own satya now . the quote by nietzsche in the begin itself tell you that this be no ordinary film . what strike you about the encounter at the start of the film be the relaxed manner in which it be carry out . there be a cold and scary feel to it cos you realize that it be part of their routine . ab tak 56 be not the story of an honest cop or a corrupt cop but of a cop who be ready to do what it take to get rid of the criminal when all lawful mean be exhaust . with simple shot and camera angle and director shimit amin manages to capture the essence of the character and give a realistic and rough feel to the movie . edit seem non existent and hence effective . the music be also impressive and haunting and stay with you long after you have leave the movie hall . but for me and what really take the cake be the dialogue and the superlative acting from each and every character . sandeep srivastava have do a brilliant job a the dialogue writer . if i start list my favourite dialogue and i be afraid i will end up re write the entire script of the movie . the movie boast of some stellar performance . yashpal sharma be detestable a sub inspector imtiaz siddiqui and so be jeeva a joint commissioner suchak . revathi and hrishita bhatt and mohan agashe and kunal vijaykar have small role which they play to perfection . nakul vaid a the rookie jatin shukla be a revelation . the scene where he have to hesitantly shoot the wounded gangster oh my god . he learn under the tutelage of sadhu aghashe and firmly believe in him . prasad purandhare a zameer zafar be impressive . his conversation with sadhu be real jewel of dialogue writing . never before in indian cinema have any film bring out such a beautiful relation between a cop and a gangster . not that i have not be a fan of nana patekar before this film but this film push me from a fan to a devotee . nana a inspector sadhu agashe give the performance of a lifetime and one of the best i have ever see in hindi cinema . from the way he talk to his expression and from the way he tap his cigarette to the way sip his tea it almost a if nana can do no wrong . he be at his best in each and every scene especially when he teach jatin about how the police force function . his cool and compose manner of do thing be scary at time . his dialogue delivery and body language have me convince that he be one of the fine actor in the country . it a shame that he do not win any popular award for this one . last but in no way the least and shimit amin do a brilliant job of bring all this talent together and exploit them to the full to come up with a modern masterpiece of indian cinema . in an industry that be sickeningly accustom to lift story from here and there and amin take an original script and bring it to life with a beautiful treatment . i just hope that he continue the great work and doesn not give in to bollywood isation . if he can do that and i be sure he will be a force to reckon with in the come year .
