Shootout at Lokhandwala Trailers

On a calm summer day in 1991, in the bustling Lokhandwala Complex, five criminals including Maya and Dilip were counting 70 lakhs in flat no. 32 B, when 286 policemen, headed by ACP Khan, took strategic positions around their building. A gunfire ensued and the entire nation witnessed the most talked about daylight encounter lasting 6 hours that transformed suburban Mumbai into a war zone.

It's a fast gripping movie with brilliant performances.Both Sanjay Dutt and Vivek Oberoi slip into their roles perfectly as if they were born for it.Loved Sanjay's style.The last 30 to 40 minutes of the movie is the soul of the movie. It is very well executed. You find yourself in dilemma of with who your sympathies lie, good guys or bad guys, and for me that is well achieved result for the director.What I absolutely hated in the movie are songs, they are just boring with a capital B. However the screenplay and every actors performances make up for it.I am absolutely giving the extra 1 point for Amitabh. He has a very little role but very impactful. I simply loved his attitude, confidence, sarcasm and authority he interrogated the policemen with.

A brilliantly made movie from the White Feathers Films Production. A must watch for all action movie lovers. Based on the real incident of the 1992 firing at Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri in India. There were certain Factual Errors in the movie however it is a gr8 cinematic experience. All the stars have portrayed their characters brilliantly. Sanjay Dutt as Shamsher Singh & Vivek Oberoi as Maya Dolas are outstanding. Suniel as Kaviraj Patil & Tushar as Dilip Buwa gave a fantastic performance. The movie was highly under-rated due to excess violence which is not a regular in Hindi Movies There were certain parts which were included just to increase the length of the movie. However the exiting climax covered up all the flaws.................. All in all a brilliant movie.

I don't care what some of the comments say about the movie.. This movie was exceptional, It's surprise that Indian censor board gave movie U(all ages) rating. Some of the stuff is definitely too violent for kids under age of 12. There are not lot of bad words, couple may be. Overall the plot was excellent and I loved the ending. All actors were terrific and especially Sanjay Dutt. Sanjay Dutt is very good fit when it comes to strong and Imandar Officer. I think anyone who enjoy movie like company and sarkar will enjoy this although it's not as good as sarkar, it's very good movie.. over all 10/10.. One of the best movie of 2007.

the plot was poor, very predictable. the same old over abused story of gangsters trying to overpower the don with the hybrid of fake police encounters. what is the meaning of hundreds of policemen firing aimlessly at a building? and yes, the random shots managed to kill no one. the story was unclear on whether they want to show some petty criminals struggle become the mafia, or some devoted policemen's attempt to get rid of crime and criminals. poor hybrid of the 2 distinct plots made the story pathetic. the "petty criminals" were too petty to arouse any viewer interest, cause they danced and relaxed most of the time in the bar to pose any serious threat to the existing don or to really trouble the law and order of the city. the dignified policemen were just too naive in their approach, planning and execution that they deserved to die at the shootout instead of the criminals. but as said before, the "petty criminals" were too petty!!overall, you should strongly recommend this movie to your friends, if you have wasted your time on this already. Why should they be spared of the torture :-)
