I must say this is the most violent bollywood film I've seen. I have not watched many of them because our regional channel show these films on a Sunday night around 2 am. I could not sleep one sunday night. I started to watch Ghaath and I got hooked for the next 3 hours. It's about a young man whose hopes of becoming a policeman are crushed when he gets drawm into a fight with a police inspector. Very entertaining. Funny enough you always find a familar face who acted in English speaking film like Om Puri (East is East).

Re-defining P.O.L.I.C.E.
gunwanti20 August 2004
A very well-made movie, reflecting the current corrupt times in India, especially in Bombay City.
Of particular interest is the definition of "P.O.L.I.C.E.", which is supposed to mean P - Polite, O- Obedient, L- Loyal, I- Intelligent, C- Courteous, and E - Efficient.
In this movie a corrupt police inspector I.M. Ghodbole (Mukesh Tiwari) passionately re-defines P.O.L.I.C.E. as P- Power, O- Order, L- Liar, I- Incompetent, C-Corrupt, and E - Encounter. Unfortunately, as is systemic racism deeply embedded in Canada and the United States, so is corruption in India. There are solutions, but those solutions need tough love, and a will to change things for the better. This movie justifiably states that the courts and the law are available for a few affluent individuals; that people in power are above the law; and a non-existent media. Just my two cents.
