RGV after making SHIVA, SATYA came back with another gangster film COMPANY
The film which is still today talked about for it's unique take on gangsters and a peep into their lives. The film was allegedly based on Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Rajan Split
The film shows us the lives of gangsters and how people get sucked in the underworld.
The film doesn't have big locales, huge canvas, songs and dances like YRF and KJ but it's a slice of life film something RGV excelled in those days
The film's first half is easygoing and quite slow, but several scenes make a mark like the scene when Ajay- Madan Joshi and Ajay's rivals clash where Ajay sides Vivek, even the prior scene in the police station and the subsequent shoot out in the car is awesome
The scene where Ajay Devgan's gang shoots Vivek's friend is also brilliant, There is lot of build up and the viewer is swept into the life of Chandu and Malik, even the love stories are kept less filmy and gel well with the film, Thankfully barring KHALAAS no sudden song.dance or item song or even comedy.
The clash scene is brilliant and the film moves in a twisted format, just when you expect something to happen there comes a twist and till the end it keeps you guessing
There are several brilliant scenes like Vivek shooting Akash Khurana, Vivek getting Injured, Mohanlal confronting Vivek, Antra picking the gun to shoot Ajay and the climax where suddenly the inevitable happens
RGV made a prequel to this film and called it D(2005) but it failed
Direction by RGV is top class, he handles the genre superbly like a pro Music by Sandeep Chowta is kept to minimum, KHALAAS is superb and became a rage thouigh the placement distracts, TUMSE KITNA PYAAR is awesome too
Camera-work is superb
Ajay Devgan enacts his character like second skin, In fact the role suits him perfectly, and his every dialogue, every expression leaves a huge mark, He suits the best for such roles and no one can play it better then him Vivek Oberoi in his debut did a good job handling the character which was very unconventional for a debut, and he did a great job though at times tries too hard, sadly his career fell short due to some mistakes later Manisha Koirala does a good job in her role and looks good while Antra Mali gives one of her best performance Ganesh Yadav is good, Vijay Raaz leaves a mark Akash Khurana, Madan Joshi, Bharat Dabolkar are all good Rajpal Yadav gets no scope Seema Biswas is awesome
