Having a great idea for a film does not guarantee success, particularly when the direction and the editing are of average level. Unfortunately, this is exactly the case with “Class of ’83”.
The script is based on the homonymous novel by leading crime journalist Hussain Zaidi, which in turn is based on the lives of real-life cops, like Pradeep Sharma and Vijay Salaskar, who trained under Dgp Arvind Inamdar when he was head of the Maharashtra Police Academy. The story is set in 80’s Bombay when crime was quite dominant, as a result of unemployment of young men due to an ongoing mill strike, which led them, en masse, to join organized gangs, whose ties with political authority were stronger than ever.

As far as originality goes Class Of 83 scores poorly. It looks like an encore of dozens anti-establishment angry-cop films we have seen over the years, when in truth Class Of 83 is The original Dirty Harry of Indian cinema. In the 1971 game-changing cops film , Clint Eastwood throws his police badge in the muddy water and deals with a rampageous killer as he deems fit.
Things are not that simple for super-cop Vijay Singh (played with suspicious stoicism by Bobby Deol). Unlike ‘Dirty’Harry Eastwood, Deol has to play the law enforcer within the rulebook. Also he is not a...
