Storyline

Inspector Vijay Verma is a very lonely cop whose only family is a younger brother Ajay Verma who is studying abroad. He also has two good friends Shekhar and Seema. One day when he arrests the criminal mastermind Jojo Braganza, he is shocked when Jojo is released from police custody because his corrupt lawyer shows the court a video tape showing him at a completely different place so therefore he couldn't have committed the crime. From this day on they become enemies and Vijay is hot on Jojo's trail every time he commits a crime. One day while watching a film called Seeta Aur Geeta, he realizes that two people can be at different places at the same time if they are twins. He realizes that Jojo has a twin brother called Tony who covers for him each time he commits a crime so he can get away with it easily. He successfully gets Jojo arrested and put in prison. However Jojo escapes and hides out at the house of Shekhar and Seema. When Shekhar realizes that Tony and Jojo are wanted ... Written by gavin@sunny_deol2009@yahoo.com

Good
4 May 2009 | by (India) – See all my reviews

Ramesh Sippy who directed Bachchan in SHAKTI and SHOLAY and many more films The film AKAYLA has Amitabh playing a drunk cop The story isn't new or fanciful but it's well handled

The film also has Amitabh-Shashi after a long time together and for the last time perhaps together Shashi played Bachchan's senior officer in this, looking overweight and old though he is just 4 years older to Bachchan in real life Bachchan too looked old and his wrinkles showed

The film slows down in between and drags but catches your attention at times while at times it succumbs to mediocrity

Direction is good at times and bad at times Music is okay

Amitabh excels like always, using his expressions to convey a lot Aditya Panshcoli is okay, Shashi Kapoor is okay in a small role the villain hams it up
