MartinHafer No matter how good or bad "Khakee" is, I would like to point out that in the States you can get it from Eros Video--the WORST DVD manufacturer I have ever seen. The MENU button won't take you to the movie but forces you to watch previews. Then, after you finally get to the MENU screen and push the PLAY button....you are then forced to watch MORE previews before the film begins. If I know a film is provided through EROS, I generally try to avoid it...and there are other producers of Bollywood films that read the viewer better.The film begins with a suspected ISI (Pakistani) terrorist being arrested by the police and the police beating the man to get a confession. Next, as the man is being taken to some prison, terrorists attack the police convoy and many die. You assume the prisoner escaped...but in the next scene you learn he hasn't and they want Anant (Amitabh Bachchan) to leave his post teaching at the police academy and be responsible for moving this dangerous prisoner. He's relieved because he feels that he's wasted his career in a way...doing nothing all that important. But on the other hand, he is getting older and nearing retirement...and he can finally spend time with his long-suffering family. Quickly Anant makes the decision--to do his duty and make everyone proud. However, after he begins his mission with a small group of police, it soon becomes apparent that there is FAR more to the story and there really isn't any terrorist!! So what's REALLY going on and will Anant and his men survive an all out blitz on them?This film has a theme that might seem surprising to Western audiences but which is very common in Indian films...corruption. The notion of the police or government officials being evil is a common theme in Bollywood pictures and the audience, most likely, just too this portion of the story in stride. The overall film is quite good...like a variation on the excellent old Hollywood film "The Narrow Margin". My only complaints, and they are quite few, are the one baddie, played by Ajay Devgn, is both way too cool to be realistic as well as way too indestructible. Again and again, dozens of bullets fly at him but never hit him---and this is a bit ridiculous. But this also did make for some neat (but dumb) stunts. Well worth seeing and I especially liked seeing Bachchan's character being not so perfect in this one...an older man who isn't supposed to be in his prime.Oh, and incidentally, Bachchan's real-life daughter-in-law to-be, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, as well as Askay Kumar co-star in this film- -giving it a rather impressive cast.

tharukshan12 Cop thriller films are very usual in bollywood cinema, and it's has been given in various angles as well. However, Khakee is something which not focuses on one individual cop, and rather it focuses on a team of 5 cops. It tells the story of a police team which is assigned to transport an ISI agent to mumbaai, and what are the barriers they are going to face on their ways. When the film is about to begin, no one knows that this film is going to hit bull's eye surely which is because anticipating a unique cop film is very rare among audience. OK, let's talk about the film characters and their roles briefly. First of all, amitabh sir as anant catches the glimpse of us easily without executing much from him role. And of course, Akshay makes the show fun by his usual comic timing sense. Beyond them, there are two pivotal characters : Yashwant (Ajay) and Mahalaxmi (Aish). Aishwarya has been acting in romantic roles for many years and her role in this film is something innovative, hence the suspense should't be broken obviously. OK, now talk about the character played by ajay, Yashwant Angre. Before this film, ajay did a supreme negative role once in deewangee which turned out to be a blockbuster hit, thus he won numerous awards and encouragements as well. In Khakee, ajay plays a devious cop who vows to take revenge on anant (amitabh). When playing this character, he seems to be very vindictive and dangerous. His dialogue delivery, facial gestures and action styles are really impressive and pleasing more. Even though he plays the role of a villain in this film, he is a key point in this movie. Without him, this movie couldn't have been made as a seat edge thriller. Khakee is a solid entertainer and suits for all age people except young kids. Go for it and have unique entertainment from top to bottom.

varghesejunior An over 2 and a half hour entertainer, this film promises to keep you over the edge.The concept is simply amazing, with superb acting on the apart of all actors, mainly Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, music is melodious and dialog delivery thunders throughout the film, with amazing fast paced action sequences.Story is about a police team that is given the mission of escorting a deadly terrorist to Mumbai with ISI aides behind to release him at any cost. But things turn out to be not what they seem to be for anyone. And the climax is something no one can expect.Even if there was no choreography, it would not have really mattered in this film. The film mainly depicts the lives of police officers and the corrupt political system in India. Akshay Kumar's performance is definitely commendable, and is probably the next best actor to Amitabh Bachchan.Don't miss Khakee. It's really cool.

Biswajit Tripathy The movie starts with police catching a dreaded terrorist Iqbal Ansari. He has to be brought from Chandigarh to Mumbai. But then there are certain peoples who don't want it. The story describes the main casts attempt to get the person and their turbulent fight for justice.Anant Srivastav (Amitabh) is a honest DCP who must complete his duty against all odds. His promotion has been denied, his increments have been stopped because he is not able to please certain section of people. He has been given a job to bring Ansari to Mumbai. He is accompanied by Tushar Kapoor (Sub Inspector Ashwin Gupte), Akshaya Kumar (Sr. Inspector Shekhar Verma), Constable Kamlesh Sawant (Kamlesh Sawant). His job is not easy as there are a lot of hurdles waiting for him in the road. Ajay Devgan (Yashwant Angre, a Former Police Officer turned Terrorist), Mahalaxshmi (Aishwarya), ACP Naidu (Prakash Raj), Minister Deodhar (Sabyasachi Chakravarthy) are the peoples who don't want them to return. Because if Ansari opens his mouth then a lot of peoples are going to be screwed. On the fight between good and bad of course Constable Kamlesh Sawant dies so as Shekhar Verma. But finally good prevails upon bad and DCP Anant Srivastav wins the battle.Produced by Keshu Ramsay and Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the movie has a nice story written by Santioshi and Shridhar Raghavan. Lara Dutta has got a nice item number Aisa Jadu dala re which was a hit among masses. Nice thrills, action and cinematography.
