Policegiri (2013)

Policegiri is yet another one of those supercop Bollywood movies, this time starring Sanjay Dutt as the infamous main character. I've previously only seen him as a bad guy, so it was a surprise to see him as the hero for a change, all dressed up in uniform and everything. He looks more like a normal police officer than most of the people in movies like this though, which might be part of why this movie doesn't get a higher score: it's somewhat normal. That special superhuman persona fades a little in the process, even if he does play a combo cop/goon, as his catchphrase boasts.

Take one, get one free.

The ground does shake when he puts down his foot, cars fly through the air, people fly straight through a windshield and out the other side, through gas pumps and signs and all kinds of things in this visually impressive mesh of action and truth. As always it's the fight against injustice and corruption that pervades the plot, and though it may not be a very original plot there's definitely plenty original stunts and fights! Nothing unique or obtrusively intense that leaves me wanting to raise the score a step more, but a good movie. Mind it!
