This is an outstanding movie, Must Watch
The story is basic, yet wildly fanciful - a young RajputaniladyGitanjali Devi (Ileana D'Cruz) has her ancestral gold reserveconfiscated from her palace by the government. The year is 1975 and we hear the voice of Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, declaring Emergency (while exhorting her countrymen not to panic). The maharani has earned the wrath of a grasping Sanjay Gandhi look- alike whowields tremendous power even over the Indian army;his reel name is Sanjeev.
The affrontedGitanjali Devi who is serving time in jail orders her brooding personal security in-charge Bhawani Singh (Ajay Devgn) to grab the lost booty back for her.
The loyal Bhawani, who is the queen's retainer and secret lover, setts together a band of four gangsters. The gang includedGitanjali Devi'strusted aide Sanjana (Esha Gupta).They set on the mission to waylay the high-value consignment when it is transported from Rajasthan to Delhiin an armored truck. The distance between the source and destination was to be covered in an eight-hour road trip. "Woh army hai, hum haraamihai," Bhawani declares, playing down the risk involved, to allay the fears of both the ageing cat burglar Tikla (Sanjay Mishra) and the happy-go-lucky gun-for-hire Dalia (Emraan Hashmi) that he ropes in.The gang of badasses takes several detours as the gold is targeted and trailed. A stereotype army officer, Major Seher Singh (Vidyut Jammwal), becomes a massive obstacle in the way of Gitanjali Devi's assault team. To find out more, I would recommend you watch the film yourself.
The inspiration of the film was certainly from the emergency era where perhaps similar events unfolded. Ajay Devgan portrays his character with ease; not only that, he makes a remarkable impression with the dialogues that have been penned by Rajat Arora. Emraan Hashmi is yet another delight. Vidyut Jamwaleffortlessly plays the role of an army officer.
Once again Milan Luthriamanages to live up to his promise; although this is not one of his bests! He is the man who has has delivered 'KachcheDhaage' and 'Once Up on a Time in Mumbaai' and this piece is nowhere close to his earlier work. Powerful writing by Rajat Arora comes as a savior. Numerous scenes are packed with metaphorical dialogues that will build the required tension without any drama. The background score, picturesque cinematography and crisp editing also make this a commendable thriller. This one deserves good audience, especially the ones who enjoy the thrillin the chase!
