Thok de saale ko???
Watched ‘ab tak chhappan’ last night. It is just awesome. Nana Patekar plays an officer in the special operations division of Mumbai police that ‘deals’ with gangsters. Nana is great as a cool and calculating cop. He seems so unpredictable throughout the movie. It is hard to figure out what he’ll do next. Nana’s interaction with a new officer on his first day reminded me of ‘The Training Day’, another great must-watch movie. Denzel Washington in that movie is also a special operations cop who is as unpredictable as Nana.
‘Ab tak chhappan’ is a very well scripted movie; no loose ends. Again, no idiotic songs. I think I am going to watch all Ram Gopal Varma movies at least for that one reason. The story moves at a fast pace and it is over before one knows it. A nice completely unpredictable ending. There is some violence but it is not gory. No long drawn-out fight scenes or torture of prisoners. It is shown in a casual way, like ‘Pulp Fiction’.
I highly recommend it to everyone. A must-watch for Nana fans like me. Finally a director who has used his talents properly. He is so much different than his crappy streak of ‘Krantiveer’-like movies.
P.S. This must be some kind of record. First of all, watching 2 hindi movies in 2 weeks. That doesn’t happen often… And liking them both. This is the first time ever.
