Hanumant Singh is the quirky cop in the police department. He is a man of action who delivers most of the time but he has unusual ways to accomplish his mission. More importantly, he doesn't think twice before hobnobbing with corrupt politicians and gangsters and taking bribes for services rendered. Trouble begins when a new and seemingly honest recruit joins his team.

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
silvan-desouza Sometimes some films are not even watched by people as promos don't excite them or perhaps lack of stars who draw audiences and make crap films. By the promos i felt the film was another cop films done to death but the film is totally different. It shows cop in the worst light ever and yet it comes across as realistic and not caricatured. The film has several twists and turns and keeps the viewer on tenterhooks, most characters have grey shades Even the innocent guy whom we think will never go wrong, takes an about turn There are some flaws like the kidnapping part could be much better and more better depicted. In all fairness the film is entirely hatke and shows us some never seen before scenes Direction by Tigmanshu Dhulia is superb as always There are no songs in the film and thats a relief The tributes to old songs(Nana keeps giving trivia of old film songs) are well wovenNana Patekar is yet again flawless in his role only he could play. He is simply outstanding Mohit Ahlawat after no show in James and Shiva shows some talent this time, he is more loosened up and gives a good performance Tigmanshu Dhulia is known for extracting best performance anywayz Rimii is superb as usual, Anurag Kashyap makes a brilliant debut(surprising Tigmanshu made his debut in Anurag Kashyap's GANGS OF WASSEYPUR) and does a superb job though his role could be more meatier Zakir Hussain is superb though he has done such roles many times Vishwajeet Pradhan is unintentionally hilarious in a small role, Virendra Saxena is superb rest are adequate
saish746 Old and dated Shagird Nana Patekar plays a smart cop who is not honest but likable. He mouths smart and witty dialogues, Kills anyone for money, wires money to New- Zealand and takes the politicos by his stride. Ab tak chappan guys is more witty and plays more dangerously for more green bucks. But the buck stops here with loopholes. Haasil director Tigmanshu Dhulia who once made a good college - political drama, doesn't go strong with Cop-politicians game. Indeed he calls it Chor -police khel rahe hai. The casting was good from the likes of Dil se and Bandit queen and so was the screenplay. The witty humor and rustic north Indian touch were fantastic . Although a senior inspector mouthing those lines may look unreal but was good. The Tarzan one was really hilarious.The casts include Mohit Alawat, a tall and handsome hunk into the police with the unfading dearth of mysteries around him. He is one actor play best without dialogues. Other casts like Zakir hussein was brilliant. Looks like the casting director Tigmanshu Dhulia himself picked the whole casts from Ram Gopal Varma's factory and it strikes a general note. Anurag Kashyap tries hard to play a cool Allahabaadi criminal and mouths some silly humors too. He was fitted in the character. Only misfit was the female protagonist, Rimi Sen, who plays a modern journalist from Aaj-tak covering all king of stories and wears a spaghetti top. The loopholes continues with senior Inspector holding a press conference, in-charge of terrorist kidnapping case, cops beating terrorists in tihar jail, embezzling crores of cash crops and many more. But when I treat this movie as Masala action twister, it doesn't betray me.The twists are boggling but story is flat. Nana Patekar plays Hanumant singh like the way he is. He got most of the screen space and screenplays and he did quite a good. He lacks when he cries and fails completely. There was no need to bring the old muse Hrishita Bhatt for kissing old politicians, Thank God, we were saved from another item number.The music and background score didn't made and mark and went unnoticeable. Not so Far yet Not so Near.It lies in between Haasil and Charas.
Irfan Afzal (Mr-afzal) Ít seems, no we ARE living in an era, where the majority supports commercial, soulless, romantic crap ass movies, with no message at all, except for telling us that the industry is pretty much dead. Best bollywood production until now of this year, or hell yeah last year as well, better then those show off movies of salman khan like dabangg, ( chosen as the best movie of last year, disgusting), Nana patekar is the best actor their is no doubt, and has worked out his character very well here, didn;t expect less from him, i watch character movies with soul, anyone who can relate do this instead of commercial society depended sheeps, should no no MUST watch this movie.
Prakash Hulivahana Muddegowda No nonsense no song movie taking place in Delhi starring Nana and Mohit Ahlawat. Hanumant Singh (Nana Patekar) Police officer, with differing principles, newly joined police officer Mohit (Mohit Ahlawat) ethical? play out this drama in a background of politics and goons. Hanumant Singh & Bunty Bhaiya (Anurag Kashyap) work for big political leader Rajmani Singh (Zakir Hussain), an usual corrupt leader.Numerous twists and turns dominate the movie with Rimmi sen playing the role of a journalist. Money plays a dominant role throughout the movie. Movie is well made without any heroes or villains as all are gray shady everyday characters.
