No punch pulled depiction of the ambiguity of violence under the obligation of authority and justice. A brilliant work of Vijay Tendulkar in writing and Govind Nihalani in direction, was stupendously spearheaded by Om Puri n front of the lenses. Also, a flawless editing by Renu Saluja is worth noting.
The film has a strong take on the various shades of the role of police without outright declaration of right and wrong. Its a tale of the unforgiving, labyrinthine structure of a corrupt system where individual ideals are rendered worthless to the point that there is no escape under an illusion of freedom.
