Shootout At Lokhandwala

Finally I was able to catch the much awaited movie of my list...heres my review:

Firstly, you need to shun the typical expectations from a Bollywood flick before going to watch this two - hour show coz Shootout... is beyond the traditional stuff. Its a crude but a successful description of the chilling activities of the underworld of Mumbai in the 1990's when loyals of the King of the underworld were in a spur to grow their units independently. The film starts with a flashback giving a brief idea about the changing face of Mumbai crime and slowly unwinds with powerful dialogues and a decent music score.

The story revolves around Maya Dolas(Vivek Oberoi) and his friends who part ways from the tasks of extortion on behalf of the D company. The movie kickstarts with a flashback of the terror history and continues with the after scenes of the actual shootout with blood flowing out of the Swati apartment where the infamous incidence took place with a decent music background adding effect to the story narrated by Dutt.
There was no need to add a third song I think. But 'Ganpat' by none other than Mika really sounds good.
In short, powerpacked performances, great supporting cast and fantastic dialogues and above all, the crude depiction of the Mumbai underworld scene of the 90s made me add Shootout At Lokhandwala in my evergreen movies list.
