We have seen Anurag Kashyap direct Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia) in Gangs of Wasseypur. But did you know that Tigmanshu Dhulia too has directed Anurag Kashyap in 'Shagird', a film of similar genre.
In this film Anurag Kashyap plays the role of a gangster by the name of Bunty Bhaiya, a hired gun for a politician. Though he hasn't acted as much in this film as Tigmanshu has in Gangs of Wasseypur, it's still noteworthy.
Watch Shagird a fast- paced action-packed cop drama that unfolds in the capital city of Delhi amidst the power of paisa and politics. Delhi Police Crime Branch Officer Hanumant Singh (Nana Patekar) - a respected yet feared officer whose tactics and ethics are questionable, mentors Mohit (Mohit Ahlawat) a new junior officer in his team. Their ideologies cross paths when a notorious gangster Bunty Bhaiya enters the fray. Together, Hanumant Singh & Bunty Bhaiya work for power hungry politician Rajmani Singh (Zakir Hussain), who rules the state using unfair means and will not let anything or anyone come in his way.
In this nexus, who stands right and who stands wrong? What crosses the line in the gray zone of law, crime & politics? Who wears a mask and who comes out a winner forms the rest of the story.
think i have seen the movie on TV ... the name hanumant singh and nana patekar strike a chord...Is there a scene where Patekar borrows the video cam from journalists and lures some crooks into coming out of their hiding or something?
ReplyDeleteThat's right. And then he shoots them..That's the movie.
