RKS has made several great films like Ghayal, Damini, while GHATAK too was good, He made TLOBS with Ajay Devgan giving him a national award KHAKEE is the first time he works with BIG B and the film was hyped a lot and people expected a lot from the film. KHAKEE is known for many reasons, first of all it resurrected Akshay's career and people noticed his comic timing for the first time. It also was considered one of the best films made on cops. The film does have some issues more on that later. The film starts off well, the director tries to establish most characters possible though he does stick to clichés too like Angre's character could be better, even ther eare lot of clichés and filmy dialogues yet the film is hardhitting, especially when AB fights against the system, the attack on the cops while going to chandangadh though at times there are some filmy stunts which look odd. The film also suffers due to the forced song and dance yet must say this is one of the best cop films in bollywood. The twist at the interval and at the finale do shock you too.
Direction by RKS is great Music seems forced though VAADA RAHA is good
Amitabh Bachchan is simply outstanding in the role, the trauma, pain is all well brought out, his scenes in the police station, his confrontation with ANGRE are all fantastic. Sadly he didn't receive any award for his act. Akshay Kumar's comic bone got noticed in this film and after this in MSK, he is simply terrific in his role though at times his role does tend up to be silly yet he is also fab in the dramatic and emotional scenes, his pre interval clash with BIG B is superb and also his pre climax scene. Aishwarya Rai hardly gets scope though her pre climax twist is well handled. Ajay Devgan does get a clichéd role but he is superb in his negative role again after Deewangee, his face offs with BIG B are simply outstanding.Tusshar is sincere though at times his dialogue delivery does seem forced. Amongst rest, Prakash Raj has a brief role and is good though his voice is dubbed, Sabyasachi Chakravarthy is excellent in his role, Atul Kulkarni leaves a mark, Jaya Pradha is as usual in a brief role, Tanuja is good in her role, Kamlesh Sawant, Ashwini are fab Rest are okay.
