'Satya
Bol' is a hard-hitting cop film. The action scenes are
good and this film will surely work well in the B &
C centers. There is also an item number by Perizaad
Zorabian to increase its mass appeal.
The film is about a
cop's life, debutant Manish Singh, - his initiation
into the police force and his transition from a meek,
soft-hearted cop into a toughie. He gets married to
a girl (Tina Parakh) of his mother's choice. All's well
until she detects the change in her husband. The last
straw is when she sees him beating up a criminal in
a ruthless manner on the pavement. That's when she decides
to walk out on him despite her pregnancy.
To trace our cop's story
from the beginning, he starts by wanting to be the honest
cop who does not accept any form of bribe. Circumstances
force him to fall in to the temptation. The transition
is gradual and mercifully there are no guilt pang shown
unlike in other cop films. He is constantly ridiculed
by his senior, Sayaji Shinde, for his meek nature.
One night in a drunken
state he manages to convince the senior that he can
extract information from a guy (an innocent guy really
but who is mistaken by his senior to be a dreaded underworld
guy' assistant) in the lockup. In a fit of rage, he
kills the man. To cover up for it, the cops fake an
encounter. However, Manish cannot get over his guilt
of having killed the wrong person. His first brush with
a gun toughens him up and he has no qualms in bashing
up people henceforth.
However, his altercation
with his wife and his close friend, Alex's death makes
him remorseful and he decides to quit the police force.
There is a final encounter in the climax where he guns
down a dreaded criminal and is honoured. There is a
reunion with his estranged wife and all's well that
ends well.
The film has a lot of
great moments and well-executed scenes. To top it, there
are brilliant performances especially from Sayaji Shinde.
He is brilliant as the tough cop who shows streaks of
soft-heartedness.
The main protagonist,
Manish Singh, is good but his facial expressions suit
his initial character more than the toughened cop. The
slight streak of cruelty is missing in his eyes or face.
An extremely talented
actor like Sachin Khedekar looks wasted.
This is a gripping film
and credit surely goes to the talented director, Sanjay
Upadhyay, who has finally made his debut on the big
screen. The only hitch is the film should have come
a little earlier when cop films were not so common.
But all said and done, this one surely stands separate
from the rest of the genre. There is nothing pretentious
about it.
