Breathtaking performance & an app-laudable achievement for Nana Patekar is Ab Tak Chappan.Shimit Amin brings to us the most definitive cop movie Indian Cinema has seen after a long time.The movie shares the relation between underworld & police on screen.As well as one man commitment to his job as well as to other things.Dialog Delivery of Nana Patekar is sensational.Rest of the casting is perfect.Finesse though i think is added by Prasad Purandhare as Zameer.His acting & his dialog delivery seriously collides with the brilliance of Nana.Superb performance by him.This movie has no songs so this gives a Hollywood kind of an atmosphere.Dialog delivery are stupendous.The ending & the last conversation of Inspector Sadhu Agashe & Zameer just makes your day.Totally amazing ending.Also to go along slight soundtrack like the voice of great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan just adds that extra spice.There is no limit on what frequency i see this.Mostly when i have nothing to do,i switch on my DVD player just to see this movie.Definitive entertainment focusing on the nexus of police & underworld.

A familiar cop story told interestingly. It's the story of Sadhu Agashe as an encounter specialist and when he encounters a loss and then becomes more cold blooded and from cop to fugitive becomes lethal. Written and directed well by Shimit Amin, a director who writes well and directs the same superbly, this was his debut and how? Taking a well treaded path and make it more interesting and exploring a few niche things. The plot isn't original but the taking is. The way the climax is held and even 5 minutes before that, I did not expect it to end so menancingly as it is done, I must applaud the director here. The cinematography is too very stereotypical and follows its predecessors like Satya and others. The art direction, the costumes and the background score are good and simple, background went a bit overboard at times yet its just there aptly. Now Sadhu Agashe is a character that was as said 'inspired' from real life encounter specialist Dayanak just that the whole plot is fictionalised to take us through an engaging ride. Sadhu Agashe and for that matter most cops here are shown as sensitive and humane, like the Commissioner of police asking Sadhu, "how is your son's fractured hand?". Not sure if police are so humane but I will give in to most of such eccentricities in a plot that is a cold blooded revenge act. It has got a psychological thing as Sadhu Agashe tells his story through the induction a new cop into his team. More psychological would have more it less accessible and more interesting though, I liked it still the way it stands out now. Had production values been enhanced this was for sure then been a better watchable film. I will go with 3/5 for a good movie that could have been so much more. Watch it for Nana Patekar nevertheless

I love the way he experiments. Ab Tak Chappan was a thrill to watch just as much Satya and company was. Jatin the new comer also lived up to his role and Nana Patekar was at his best. Suchak was really irritating but I think he fit the character he was playing - he had really ugly teeth. The story has a great progress and no songs in the movie makes it better. I only wish he signs up Urmila for his other up coming movies. I think they are the best director and actress combination I have seen. I have not seen Naach as yet but I am looking forward for it. I for some reason don't find Antra Maali that exciting to watch on the screen - unlike Urmila.

Shimit amin, the new grad,drop out or student of the so called RGV school of film making has done a commendable job with this movie.His direction has been absolutely immaculate.The director had succesfully managed to keep the tempo of the movie very gripping without diluting it with songs,or offtracking the movie as we had seen happening umpteen number of times in BOLLYWOOD.It has been quite a favorite situation for BOLLYWOOD to provide the cop an unforgetting moment like losing his lady love and the protagonist is made to avenge out of that emotional setback.This is where this movie stands out from the rest of the BOLLYWOOD COP MOVIES.The conversation between sadhu and the main bad guy living overseas ends up being the best scene reflecting the plottings and counter psychological plottings that get weaved between the cops and the underworld for gaining their respective supremacy .The lighter moments shared amongst the cops(like commenting on shoaib akhtar)were dealt with utmost aplomb.all in all a very good movie to be watched.i definitely recommend this for international viewers.

Nana Patekar, the "Morgan Freeman" of Indian Cinema, has given some great perfs. as a village head in "Shakti", a mute in "Khamoshi". No one with an eye for good acting can miss the brilliance of this performer. A good script,a good supporting cast like Revathi, Yashpal Sharma, a crisp editing and direction makes this movie a winner. There are some great scenes and dialog-like when he first meets Zameer and explains him the "nuisance value," when he invites his subordinate for dinner and cooks "Sambar". The movie is dominated and sustained by Patekar, who takes you into the web of underworld-deceit,deception and corruption which may border on exxageration at some point but the outline to some extent is real life dilemma faced by the law enforcement. The word "Encounter" is a misnomer but it is accepted as most accept the word "Bollywood". Any movie that can hold your interest with one actor and a clever dialog is a good movie and coming from an established film House-it is even better.

A really realistic, sensible movie by Ramgopal Verma . No stupidity like songs as in other Hindi movies. Class acting by Nana Patekar. Much similarities to real 'encounters'.

Nana Patekar once again proves that he is the best actor working in Bombay without a doubt. His recent movies involved shouting his lines that does not bode well for the theater trained thespian. One wonders why he is always not given his accolades during awards season. "Shakti-The Power" was one of his flicks that was an utter disapointment along with Kohram (a missed oppurtunity to create screen magic with Amitabh Bachchan). But Patekar exudes a cool calm in this film playing a cop on a sort of social justice journey. Ridding the streets of Bombay of underworld dons in fake encounters, Patekars character takes control of the screen (and the viewers attention) and never lets go. The editing is tightly paced and there are no annoying songs to distract from the story. Along the same lines as the modern day cult classic "Company", the movie is well acted, directed and should have a long shelf life on DVD. The final ten minutes that see Nana and the main villain talk at his offshore haven are bound to be part of Hindi cinema classics. Won't be dissapointed with this cops and robbers flick.

Satya was excellent.... Company was just as good but more polished, probably owing to the money earned from previous movies. Ab Tak Chappan however is even more entertaining. The dialogue is gritty, crude and at times hilarious. Nana Pataker shines yet again in a role that only he can fulfill with authority but the supporting cast are very talented. Direction is tight and the story evolves at a satisfying pace with a very dramtic climax. As a depiction of reality it may be over-dramatised but at the end of the day it's a movie so the balance is spot-on. I've ordered my DVD and can't wait to see it again at home. As a lover of these type of gangster flicks, this is very gratifying and comes highly recommended for the refreshingly "non-Yash Raj" Bollywood gangster flick lovers out there.

An excellent movie and a definite must see. Great plot, screenplay, direction and cast - with just the right amount of Nana. Goes to show that Bollywood can produce movies of cinematic brilliance second to none. I saw shades of Training Day in the beginning of this movie (corrupt cop showing the ropes to a rookie cop), but the similarities ended there. IMHO, Nana did a way more credible job than Denzel's overhyped and overrated Oscar winning performance. A very serious and realistic movie, but not very dark and it did not treat the subject with a heavy-hand. I think this was why the movie moved along at a good pace, and always kept the viewer involved. Gets bonus points for having a white person on screen that can actually speak English [if you've heard white people speak English in Hindi movies, you know what I'm talking about]. A very solid 9/10.
