Policegiri movie is the remake of Tamil movie Sammy.Sanjay Dutt (Rudra) is playing the role of a rough neck cop with a bit of both the bad cop-good cop act which also gives comic touch in his character, whereas Prachi Desai (Sehar) will wear the image of a girl next door and is a software engineer who falls in love with Dutt and marries him.Rudra is a tough and charismatic Deputy Commissioner of police of a small town called Amalapur in Hyderabad.His mission statement is to, clean up the city of the scum of the earth and make sure that the public live in peace undisturbed.Seeing his macho looks, brave heart and honest nature, Sehar an unconventional beauty falls in love with him. But off the record, Rudra adapts a new policy of adjusting with the local goons so that he can serve the people in an effective way.Nagori Subramaniyam (Prakash Raj), is an underworld don(Kingmaker) who has the total control of Southern states, both in politics as well as Rowdyism.
Policegiri is same old story of a good cop vs a corrupt politician . But the change is that he's corrupt and uses it as a tool to clean the bad guys. Till here fine but the treatment of the subject is disappointing. Dabangg is a good example of a movie on a corrupt cop.
Sanjay Dutt is a bit too old for this role. He has a paunch and his scenes with Prachi Desai are too awkward. Desai is old enough to play his daughter's role. Dutt would have been a good choice to play this role a decade back. Prakash Raj is in full form and is excellent in his role as the villain. He spouts some excellent one liners and brings a smile when he is on screen.
The film has too many songs that slow the pace and Dutt's transformation from corrupt cop to an honest one is not shown properly. Equally baffling is Prachi Desai's background story of her marriage. Can't explain.
Policegiri could have been a good entertaining film had the script been a bit better.
