Synopsis
POLICE FORCE-AN INSIDE STORY brings out the internecine quarrels within the police force in a natural and realistic manner.
It is a strong film with a strong content and puts the police force on a high pedestal note. It takes us to true meaningful Hindi cinema when drama reigned supreme and the clash of powerful ideas and resolute personalities determined the theme. Dialogues formed integral part of the story. They reflected the tough struggle of determined individuals and the manliness of a world of true grit.
In many ways, the film marks the comeback of underdog hero. Akshay Kumar plays an under trainee police cadet Vijay. He is seen not as a super hero killing and romancing at will but an ordinary middle class small town boy. He gets sucked into circumstances not of his making but of a political system where the leaders have turned the battle of the ballot into distorted opera of guile, opportunism and murder and also of a political system where people at the top crush the dreams and idealism of their own upright cadets.
Police Force-An Inside Story is also far removed from stereotypes peddled by Hindi cinemas. Corruption in the political system is represented as a well oiled operation performed by normal human beings. Raj Babbar is Rattan Sethi, a politician who astutely subverts the political system at will. But he is also a man with taste of flowers and beauty.
