The film features an ensemble cast that includes John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Kangna Ranaut and Ronit Roy. It is the sequel to 2007 Bollywood film Shootout at Lokhandwala. The result is yet another unsatisfying compromise. Shootout at Wadala is an upcoming Indian crime film written and directed by Sanjay Gupta. A worthy attempt at serious cinema remains constrained by the trappings of the ‘masala’ formula.

Performances from a veteran largely male cast (including ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ quizmaster Anil Kapoor) vary, with Abraham proving yet again that he is more brawn than brain.Īs Indian cinema celebrates one hundred years of production this month, this violent film represents its current confused state.

After the guns, Gupta brings on the gals with the inclusion of three unnecessary saucy ‘item’ dance numbers including one featuring a real life busty porn star. He whacks us with gore galore (the film is rated 18 in the UK) with endless bloody shootouts, fist fights, stabbings, and violent rape sequences. Director Sanjay Gupta proves that he still has his Tarantino hangover.
Since this is a mainstream Bollywood film, do not expect any serious attempt at studying the socio-political backdrop of the era, or a character study exploring what drives an angry young man to crime. Based on true events, it charts the rise of the notorious gangster Manya Surve (John Abraham) from hard working college kid to ruthless crime boss, culiminating with his killing at Wadala, a Bombay suburb, by the police. Gang warfare in early '80s Bombay (now Mumbai) is the subject of this latest Bollywood attempt at gritty political cinema. Kangana Ranaut, who registered her first hit this year with Shootout at Wadala, says the ups and downs in her filmy career have all been worth it as she got to work with big names and bigger projects.
