Movie review: Shootout at Lokhandwala


I saw this movie on Saturday, Movie based on a true story (rumors) about an encounter of a 6 gangsters by terrorist Squad (ATS) of Mumbai police. This movie is filled with violence shows how and in what circumstances the gangsters were killed and the attempt by ATS to justify their decision. Having a big squad of Bollywood stars; the movie rotates around Sanjay Dutt (Cop) and Vivek Oberoi (Gangster). Amitabh Bacchan is playing a role of lawyer in this film; I came to know this only after 2 hours of movie was finished or just 15 minutes before “THE END”. Probably this is first kind of movie that justifies the need of “encounters” and support police department for that. I would say it is a good directed serious type movie; not a must watch type unless you are a great fan of Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi and Tusshar Kapoor (Well is there any fan of last duo??) or you are fascinated about the Mumbai Underworld, encounters or the movie promos. Well I saw a lot of clapping for Sanjay Dutt & his dialog delivery.


It was nice to see Amruta Singh back on screen; although her entry scene was too much bold & aggressive, she done her part well, I am not a great fan of her, but it is always nice to see veteran’s comeback.

Songs are Ok-Ok, one thing I must say that that while entering in theaters I was humming the Song “E Ganpat” but the effective direction force me to leave the theater speechless thinking about the movie and everything other than the songs.

Dialog of the movie” Accha laga apun ko aap se milake; kam se kam ek to police wala aisa hai jisaki vardi me ab tak MERA BHARAT MAHAN hai”.

Is this the end of Mourinho era at Stamford Bridge?

After a humiliating defeat in penalty shootout from Liverpool, Chelsea is out of Champions League finals this year and future of Jose Mourinho is in real trouble now. The dream of Chelsea owner Roman of bringing Champions League to Stamford Bridge is shattered consecutively third times in a row under Jose Mourinho. This year’s draw was a easiest than last two attempts, as in 2005 against Liverpool; Chelsea wasn't that much strong as Chelsea is today and in 2006 they had to fought against Catalan giants Barca, with Ronaldinho, Etto, Puyol, Deco Barca has real advantage over Chelsea's Drogba, Lampard, Terry and Cole. In premiership also it is now almost impossible for Chelsea to snatch first place from Man U as they are having 5 point lead with better goal difference with only 3 games to go.

The only thing Jose has now is FA Cup, where they have to face rejuvenated & young Red Devils. In spite being a Chelsea and Liverpool fan I can find out a great difference between Chelsea and Man U. first of all the most important thing is missing in this year’s Chelsea compared to last year is passion for win. They seems playing just for making appearance, the fun & entertainment for fans is lost from Chelsea's game.

Jose is a great manager and he won't required any more proof for this but now his future is in real trouble with Chelsea and it seems that Roman won't give any more chances to Jose.
