The story
Satya Azad, an upright Home Minister wants to cleanse the country of corruption with his Anti-Corruption Bill. However, it fails to get enough ‘Ayes’, not only from his allies, but also from his wife Vidya a member of the Opposition, who votes ‘Nay’ in the Vidhan Sabha. When a couple of gruesome killings take place in the city, ACP Jay Azad is brought in to nab the murderer, never mind his motive.
What it’s like
Brisk, muscular and loud, with the polish of a big-budget Hindi commercial thriller: crisp daylight city streets, slick action staging, and a pulsing, drum-heavy score that rises into set pieces and drops out for tense interrogation rooms and political chambers. The vibe is hard-edged and righteous, a crime story that keeps circling back to questions of corruption and who gets to enforce justice. Pacing is fast and clearly plotted, with the dual-role twist and courtroom-and-street confrontations giving it a steady push forward. Intensity is high: the killings are gruesome and the action is physically violent, with fist fights, gunfire and vigilante retribution shown without much restraint, though the tone stays more slick than grim. Not a gentle watch, and not one for a quiet evening. It suits viewers who want a propulsive, morally charged action film for a weekend night, especially fans of star-driven police thrillers and revenge stories with a political edge.
