Manya decides to destroy the evil powers possessed by Haskar brothers, who were the root cause of riots Mumbai city was facing. At the same time, the city of dreams witnesses another set of bhais ruling over it - Zuber Imtiaz Haskar ( Manoj Bajpai) and Dilawar Imtiaz Haskar ( Sonu Sood). This episode opens the doors of underworld for Manya Surve and he leaves no stone unturned to make himself the strongest man to take revenge.Īfter meeting Shaikh Munir ( Tusshar Kapoor) and Veera in the jail, Manya decides to form his own gang, Hindu Gang. Manya's brother Bhargav Surve gets murdered in the jail in the hands of a criminal. This incident proves a drastic change in the life of Manya Surve, which compels him to show his gray side to the world and he starts living life on an edge. Manya gets wrongly accused of a murder and gets life imprisonment. So, in this blood-filled conversation, Manya recites the story about how he turned gangster from an innocent college-goer. This conversation takes place after Manya survives at least eight to ten bullets. The actual story commences with a flashback narration between ACP Ishaq Bagwan ( Anil Kapoor) and Manya Surve. One black day, the entire situation takes 360 degree turn when some gangsters attack Bhargav at his home. Bhargav Surve, who is Manya's brother, has his strings attached to the underworld. Manohar Surve, aka Manya Surve has many dreams in his eyes waiting to be fulfilled, just like any other layman. Vidya ( Kangana Ranaut) is his love interest. Plot: Manohar Arjun Surve ( John Abraham) is a common man from Mumbai. Negative Points: Vague storyline at some point of time, Lacks realism in certain scenes. Positive Points: Excellent script, Great character performances, Good direction, Power-packed action sequences, Fast and furious storyline, Foot-tapping music. His films are a model of machismo - women are only there to entertain, and occasionally to cry over their boyfriends’ corpses.One Line Review: Action, attraction, muscles, power, revenge, naachgaana and lots of high voltage dhishum dhishum, altogether designs the crime saga 'Shootout At Wadala'. But Gupta has always been what you’d call a man’s director. The inclusion of three sex-soaked “item songs,” starring adult film star Sunny Leone, Bollywood’s Priyanka Chopra and British actress Sophie Choudry (sporting some unnerving plastic surgery), also lessen credibility. Performances are broad, but effective, throughout. Zaidi’s nonfiction book Dongri to Dubai: Six Decades of the Mumbai Mafia, was the inspiration for Shootout at Wadala, but its basis in reality is undermined by Gupta’s overly stylized approach and too many camera tricks, though the ‘80s costumes are striking and the actors wear them well. Of course, the established crime bosses vow that this will never happen, and a long and confusing progression of setups, betrayals, massacres and acts of revenge takes place until the film’s bloody ending. He settles in Mumbai and swears to become the “lion” of crime there. Jail hardens Manya, so he escapes with a jailhouse friend in a thrilling scene featuring death-defying stunts atop and under a speeding train. Hussain Zaidi with Gupta, finds honest young college student Manya Surve (Abraham) unjustly accused of a crime and sentenced to life in prison. Shootout is a prequel of sorts to the 2007 Indian crime drama Shootout at Lokhandwala, which detailed another police action that took place in 1991 and was written by Gupta for director Apoorva Lakhia.
The film’s sex and violence - though coming as no surprise to those familiar with Gupta’s previous work, such as Kaante and Zinda - will set it apart from typical Bollywood family fare and top-liner Abraham (a bulked-up former model), though on his way up, hasn’t yet become a must-see box office draw, so box office prospects are limited both in India and overseas.
