Director: Apoorva Lakhia

Shoot Out At Lokhandwala is the story of police commissioner Khan, who chased out Khalistani extremists in a residential locality of Mumbai. Khan's fight went beyond the encounter as he faced inquisition from his own department and legal charges of human rights violations. The film also tells the story of Maya (Vivek Oberoi), an upcoming underworld gangster and his highly skilled partner, Dilip (Tusshar Kapoor). Drawing the attention of Khan and his newly formed police squad, Khan and Maya were men devoted to their professions. This thriller explores their personal obsessions and sacrifices. Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sunil Shetty and Arbaaz Khan take the roles of police officers. Abhishek Bachchan's character is the one who triggers off the whole incident. Dia Mirza is seen in a deglamorised role of Mita, an aggressive reporter while Aarti Chhabria plays Tarannum, a bar dancer.

Sanjay Dutt aka Sanju Baba is effective, Suniel Shetty is proficient, Amitabh Bachchan is lost, Abhishek Bachchan's role is hyped as he is just doing a small appearance, Arbaaz is natural, Tusshar leaves an impact, Viveik repeats his 'Company' act, looked repetitive; Rohit Roy is 'bakwaas', Shabbir Ahluwalia gets little scope to perform, Aditya Lakhia looses on footage. Female brigade led by Dia Mirza is fine, Aarti Chabria leaves her mark, Amrita Singh delivers a standout performance, Neha Dhupia was not needed and Rakhi Sawant is a hammy surprise.

On the whole, SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA will meet with mixed reactions.
