Directed by Kabeer Kaushik

Naseeruddin Shah : Tum humhe bhool jaayo, yeh haq hai tumko.. meri baat aur hai. Maine toh
Sonu Sood : Mohabbat ki hai ? Toh aayo, nibhayo mohabbat.
Impressive star-cast, still the film didn't click because of a very slow screenplay, and a script that's very loose, the final 20 mins are plain stupid. I have seen director's make 3 hr long movies and still keep you engaged, and here a under 2 hr film fails to captivate you. Why did Kabeer opt to rush in the narrative all of a sudden in the end ?
As a director also, Kabeer fails in many sequences. Some scenes are needlessly kept long, while some should had been completely edited out. Pretty average Editing. Some of the dialogues are well written. Background score is decent.
The item song girl looks over-weight, though I like the song.
What is good about the film, is the performances.. Naseeruddin Shah shines as a bad cop (encounter specialist), love his scene with Sonu Sood "humne toh mohabbat ki hai", and then the scene with Amit Sadh "twinkle twinkle little star, How ? How ? aage kya tha".
Sonu Sood is impressive, I like the way he emotes through his eyes in some sequences, also his slow conversations with Amit Sadh.
Vinay Pathak once again proving, how good he is in non-comic roles.
Amit Sadh was very good, in a supporting role.. waiting to see how he does in next film 'Kai po che'.
Neha Dhupia was decent in a housewife role. Nice to see Mohan Agashe in a small role. Anjana Sukhani was kinda of in a friendly special appearance..
Overall, Maximum works only for the good performances. The story of rivalry between two cops, ends up neither realistic nor entertaining. Plus, the climax is a big let-down.
Verdict : AVERAGE
