#FinalVerdict
Loosely based on S. Hussain Zaidi's book, The Class Of 83: The Punishers Of Mumbai Police, this Netflix India original film - produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and directed by Atul Sabharwal - has an archaic premise that offers no novelty. The film relies on the tried-and-tested recipe from commencement to conclusion. The tough life a cop leads, the politician-underworld nexus, the clash of ideologies... plots and sub-plots like these have been witnessed time and again. It doesn't work at all!
Class Of 83 is Bobby Deol's first tryst with an OTT platform but the screenplay (Abhijeet Deshpande) is far from inventive and everything seems conventional. A few moments do keep you glued and hooked to the proceedings, but the wafer-thin plot and lacklustre screenplay play spoilsport. What takes you by complete surprise is the crude humour (dialogues: Atul Sabharwal) that's integrated into the narrative. I mean, one doesn't mind the toilet humour as long as the situation warrants it, but it seems totally forced in the film.
Bobby Deol flaunts the attitude all through. Vishwajeet Pradhan and Joy Sengupta are simply brilliant. It's a joy watching Anup Soni in a negative role. Bhupendra Jadawat, Ninad Mahajani, Hitesh Bhojraj Malukani, Prithvik Pratap and Sameer Paranjape are absolutely flawless. Way to go!
On the whole, Class Of 83 doesn't give you the feeling of having watched a mazedaar entertainer purely because, besides being conventional and foreseeable, it is also stretched without any solid reason whatsoever (Editor: Manas Mittal). It will be outright rejected!
