From
director Apoorva Lakhia comes Shootout At Lokhandwala, a
shocking, hypnotic look at a real-life disaster.
Storyline. On a calm summer day
in 1991, in the bustling Lokhandwala Complex, five
criminals including Maya and Dilip were counting 70 lakhs
in flat no. 32 B, when 286 policemen, headed by ACP Khan,
took strategic positions around their building. Gunfire
ensued and the entire nation witnessed the most talked
about daylight encounter lasting 6 hours that transformed
suburban Mumbai into a virtual war zone. Shootout At
Lokhandwala is the story of a seasoned cop, Khan (Sanjay
Dutt) who chased Khalistani extremists, handpicked cops
like Inspector Kaviraj Patil and Constable Javed Shaikh,
and dared to engage trigger-happy gangsters in a
residential locality of Mumbai.

Khan’s
fight went beyond the encounter as he faced inquisition
from his own department and legal charges of human rights
violations. Shootout At Lokhandwala is the story of an
upcoming underworld gangster, Maya, and his highly skilled
partner, Dilip. The two made extortion the buzzword in the
early 90s and dared to disobey the big bhai of the
underworld, drawing the attention of Khan and his newly
formed ATS squad. Both Khan and Maya were men obsessed, so
devoted to their professions that their personal lives
were a disaster.
Sanjay Dutt plays the role of Additional Commissioner
Aftab Ahmad Khan. Vivek Oberoi will play Maya Dolas, a
mafia henchman who is killed in a police encounter.
Tusshar Kapoor’s all set to play a negative role of
Buva, who was also killed in the shootout. Abhishek
Bachchan will play the role Abhishek Mahatre, another
police inspector who played a key role in the shootout.
Dia Mirza (Mita Matu), an earthy, refined and aggressive
reporter while Aarti Chhabria plays Tarannum a bar dancer
Tarannum’s case has been in news for quite sometime and
is still fresh in people’s minds. Arbaaz Khan will be
essaying the role of cop in the film. Every body has a
different look as the film is inspired from a real life
incident. This film is a must watch. |
