![]() This is the kind of cinema that works purely on star power and this film has plenty of that. ![]() Though a little convoluted and inconsistent, it’s not too bad as Gupta peppers his narrative with Bollywood masala: item dances, colourfully filmy expletives, slow motion action sequences, dialoguebaazi and pop culture references and a score with a flavour of the Seventies. The film begins with considerable promise as we gear up for two sides of the story - the police side and the gangster’s account of how they got to the titular shootout. The shootout itself here forms only the last ten minutes of the film. This certainly is a much meatier film than the mindless action slow-motion film Shootout at Lokhandwala is not really one.Īpart from the similarity and the fact that both films are based on police encounters featuring cops and gangsters in designer sunglasses, the treatment and structure are quite different. Shootout at Wadala, which claims to be a sequel to Director Sanjay Gupta dishes out a film that’s inspired from real life and not movies of other filmmakers.
