The story is a typical Good cop versus corrupt police department and their political and rowdy henchmen. A honest inspector has a tangle with a politically well connected underworld don and that starts off an ego issue between them. The cop gets transferred to the big bad city where every one in the police department is corrupt and hand-in-glove with the thugs and politicians. The rest of the story is about how the cop combats his frustrations and eliminates the rowdy elements of the big city.
There was no need for a heroine in this movie and I don't know why good film makers see the need to include a pretty face even though the script doesn't demand one. If only Indian film makers were to see the potential of movies without song and dance routines, and heroines showing off their curves and skin I am pretty sure the industry would be able to attain new heights. But I guess right now the industry is still not mature enough... maybe the audience isn't also...
The industry won't be mature until it starts paying attention to screenwriters with new, refreshing stories, but that'll only happen when they open their close-knit circle (I'm a debut Bollywood writer...)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Singham (it's one of my upcoming reviews), but I've heard it's a lot like Dabangg in that it focuses on an all-conquering hero. I like the songs 'Saathiya' and 'Maula' so those are good reasons as any I guess to watch the film.
Sahasi have you checked out my blog Bolly Hoo Ha? I focus on the lighter side of Bollywood - poking fun, photoshops, and Zero Screentime Walas!
