While this film is replete with romantic scenes, musical songs as well as Action-packed dialogues and powerful 1-liners, the title of this movie should have been either KROOKSHETRA or KUKUKSETHRA. There are unnecessary item songs, romantic scenes, melodious duets as well as extended action scenes in this move which interrupt the flow of this well-directed,well- made movie. THIS MOVIE IS A GOOD FOLLOW-UP TO VIDHU VINOD CHOPRA's Mission Kashmir, which was released prior to this movie in the Diwali month of 2000. In this movie, Sanjay DUTT plays ACP Prithviraj Singh, a honest police officer, who always finds himself single handed fighting against the criminal, anti-social elements which have the support of the powerful, corrupt politicians and an opportunistic,money-minded group of police officers. The music and songs of this movie are very good, too. "Aapka Anna ", "JAANAM TERE LIYE " & "ARJUN HAI THU" r very ears-pleasing songs. It so happens that the corrupt, chief minister (OM PURI) misuses his political powers on a regular basis that his son AMBAR takes the law for granted and rapes his own personal secretary along with his best male friend. How ACP PRITHVIRAJ SINGH , who's been given this case solves this issue by keeping the important documentary evidences with him to prove the guilty chief minister's son a criminal in the court of law is the story of this movie. MAHIMA CHAUDHARY deserved more footage as well as a bigger role in this movie. SALIL ANKOLA, the ex- Indian international one-day cricketer makes his silver screen debut with this movie. Sunidhi Chauhan, Alka Yagnik, RAVINDRA Sathe and Kumar Sanu have all sung songs very nicely for this movie. Definitely, this movie is worth watching at least once in a lifetime. Mahima Chaudhury is very gorgeous, in this movie while SALIL ANKOLA puts up an above- average performance. OM PURI, SAYAJI SHINDE & SHIVAJI SATAM have all acted very well in this movie too. Sanjay DUTT was nominated for best actor in a leading role for this movie in 3 different awards functions- 2000 FILMFARE awards, 2000 Lux Zee Cine Awards and 2000 Screen Videocon Awards.
