Cop films are made in Bollywood since old days, films like ZANJEER(1973) to the much recent SARFAROSH(1999), KURUKSHETRA(2000)
Some good ones, some typical filmy types
SHOOL(1998) was one of the best cop films made followed by SARFAROSH GANGAAJAL was a comeback of Ajay-Prakash Jha after the disaster DIL KYA KARE(1999) and this was their best film together
The film showcases the violence, the problems a sincere cop goes through in Bihar and the film is well handled
The film starts off well and without comedy, much romance, music and dance comes straight to the point though we have stereotypical scenes but yet the film stands out, the problems, humiliation and vulnerability the innocent cop goes through is very well handled The turn of events, the scenes involving Mukesh Tiwari, Ayub Khan characters is well handled The twist in the tale too is fabulous though ted over violent yet realistic as it had really occurred in 1979 where cops had blinded the jail victims But post interval the film does tend to stray away at times towards the end and the film ends on a stereotypical note which is a downer yet the film manages to bring the message across well
Direction by Prakash Jha is fabulous, he handles the film brilliantly well Music(just 1 song) is passable and could be done without Background Music by Wayne Sharp is terrific
Ajay Devgan excels in the role of crusader-cum-cop and he portrays the character superbly, his eyes, body language, expressions and dialogue delivery lend the right vulnerability and is flawless Gracy Singh is passable in a blink and miss role Amongst rest Mukesh Tiwari who nowadays does buffoonery in Rohit Shetty films is superb in his role which he does brilliantly Ayub Khan, Anup Soni are superb too Manoj Joshi and Yashpal Sharma are typecast Dr.Mohan Agashe, Akhilendra Mishra are adequate
