2004 action film that brings together an ensemble cast for a gritty portrayal of police officers battling corruption. The film, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, offers a mix of intense action sequences and a narrative that delves into the challenges faced by law enforcement.

The movie explores themes of duty, honor, and the complex dynamics within the police force. While it received praise for its realistic depiction of police work, some critics felt that the storyline was formulaic and predictable. The performances of the ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Shatrughan Sinha, were generally well-received, adding depth to the characters they portrayed.

The film's soundtrack, composed by Anu Malik, complements the on-screen drama with its energetic and pulsating tunes. "Aan: Men at Work" may not have redefined the genre, but it remains a notable addition to the action genre of Indian cinema in the mid-2000s, offering audiences an engaging glimpse into the challenges faced by those committed to upholding the law. Story was kinda Similar to Khakee 2004 staring AK.

Golmaal 3 is a nonsensical comedy film that relies on slapstick humor and physical comedy. The film has a thin plot, but it is full of funny moments and memorable characters. The ensemble cast is in top form, and they deliver some truly hilarious performances. Ajay Devgn is particularly good as the hot-headed Pritam, and Kareena Kapoor is charming as the tomboyish Daboo.

The film also benefits from some well-choreographed action sequences and catchy music. Overall, Golmaal 3 is a fun and entertaining film that is sure to leave you laughing.

Here are some of the pros and cons of the film:

Force (2011)
7/10
An average Action film
6 October 2023
Force (2011) is a Hindi action-thriller film that is both stylish and substance-filled. It is a remake of the 2003 Tamil film Kaakha Kaakha, but it stands on its own as a well-made and entertaining film.

The film stars John Abraham as ACP Yashvardhan, a ruthless and dedicated police officer who is on the trail of a powerful and dangerous gangster named Vishnu (Vidyut Jamwal). Yash is a complex and conflicted character, and Abraham does an excellent job of portraying his inner turmoil.

Jamwal is also excellent as the villainous Vishnu. He is menacing and charismatic, and he is a worthy adversary for Yash.

The film's action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting. They are also realistic and brutal, which helps to ground the film in reality.

The film's story is also engaging and suspenseful. It does a good job of balancing the action and the drama, and it keeps the viewer guessing until the very end.

Force is a well-made and entertaining film that is sure to please fans of the action-thriller genre. It has strong performances from John Abraham and Vidyut Jamwal, well-choreographed action sequences, and an engaging and suspenseful story.

Here are some of the things I particularly liked about the film:

The performances of John Abraham and Vidyut Jamwal. Abraham is excellent as the complex and conflicted Yash, and Jamwal is menacing and charismatic as the villainous Vishnu.

The well-choreographed and exciting action sequences. They are also realistic and brutal, which helps to ground the film in reality.

The engaging and suspenseful story. It does a good job of balancing the action and the drama, and it keeps the viewer guessing until the very end.

Overall, I highly recommend Force (2011) to fans of the action-thriller genre. It is a well-made and entertaining film with strong performances, exciting action sequences, and an engaging story.

The only part of this movie i dont enjoy is its violent and depressing ending.

Compared to Shootout at Lokhandwala This movie lacks Romance and Comedy
6 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
In contrast to the Lokhandwala Shootout Romance and humor are absent from this film. However, this film is still enjoyable and packed with action. I still like this movie 15 years later. It would be considerably more enjoyable if MR Lakhia actors like Rohit Roy and Tushar Kapoor were brought back. As a Vivek OBEROI fan i did not apreciate him in this movie with such long hair. The end was very boaring though.. 1 great thing also was that unlike any other movies music does not appear every 5-10 minutes. The movie moves along at a good clip and is thrilling with lots of action. It also examines some difficult issues including the clash between idealism and practicality and the media's role in terrorism.

The performances of Mission Istanbul are among its strongest features. As the idealistic yet imperfect Vikas Sagar, Zayed Khan does a fantastic job. As the strong yet kind soldier Armaan Khan, Vivek Oberoi is also excellent. Shriya Saran, Suniel Shetty, and Anil Kapoor give standout performances in the supporting cast, which is also outstanding.

The action scenes in the movie are also intense and well-choreographed. They are not, however, extravagant or implausible, as is frequently the case in Bollywood movies. Instead, the action is employed to further the narrative.

A Masterpiece which will never be made again
13 September 2023
20 years later it will still evoke nostalgia in our hearts since it will be a masterpiece that will never be produced in the Bollywood industry.

I wish Mr. Rajkumar Hirani the best of luck with his upcoming films since he will always be among our industry's top directors.

One of a kind describes this film. A wonderful performer. Every age group will appreciate this film. I've watched Sanjay Dutt in gangster roles in numerous other films, but this is my favorite one of his after Vaastav. In the acting department, everyone has done a fantastic job. Additionally excellent and timeless is music. Sanjay Dutt's role in this film will undoubtedly live on long after his passing.
