Review of Khakee

Khakee (2004)
7/10
An Enjoyable Action Film with Plenty of Exciting Twists and Turns Along the Way
10 September 2022
This film essentially begins with the police raiding the home of a suspected terrorist named "Dr. Iqbai Ansari" (Atul Kulkarni) and finding--to their horror--a massive cache of weapons. Not long afterward, after capturing Dr. Ansari, a number of police officers are subsequently killed in an ambush while transporting him. So, recognizing the public outrage if he isn't brought to justice, a high-ranking politician by the name of "Minister Deodhar" (Sabyasachi Chakrabarty) endorses the appointment of a senior police officer named "DCP Anant Kumar Shrivastav" (Amitabh Bachchan) to travel to the city of Chandangarh and bring him to Mumbai to face trial. Along with that, four other police officers are also assigned to this team with one in particular named "Senior Inspector Shekhar Verma" (Akshay Kumar) being exceedingly corrupt. Not only that, but he is also quite a womanizer and these flaws in his character become rather obvious when he meets a beautiful woman by the name of "Mahalaxshmi"(Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) who becomes a target of these same terrorists and feels compelled to ride with the police on their way from Chandangarh to Mumbai. What they don't count on, however, is an armed force led by a highly skilled assassin by the name of "Yashwant Angre" (Ajay Devgn) creating havoc all along the way. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this turned out to be a rather entertaining action film with had more than its share of exciting twists and turns throughout the course of the movie. Admittedly, some of the action scenes were a bit unrealistic, but even so I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly.
