Ab Tak Chappan 2 movie review

Ab Tak Chappan has become a cult classic. The 2004 cop action drama film is etched deep in the minds of people across the world, mainly because of Nana Patekar’s superb portrayal of Sadhu Agashe—a character based on the real life of Mumbai sub-inspector Daya Nayak. So when in 2012, I saw the first trailer of the sequel, Ab Tak Chappan 2, as a fan I was very excited to see the film. However, the film kept getting delayed and it finally got a release date, three years later. Still, being a Nana Patekar fan, I wanted to watch this film throughout till the end and here’s what I felt about the film…

What it’s about

The film picks up from where the first installment ends. But Sadhu isn’t in the police department anymore. He now lives in a secluded village in Goa with his son. Mumbai is under terrorist threat and the CM asks Sadhu to be back in office. After a lot of coaxing, he finally agrees when his son asks him to join back. He is back in form in no time and starts working in his usual way by killing gangsters after getting information from  informers. However, pretty soon, his son is killed by the mafia, just like his wife was. Post that begins Sadhu’s saga of revenge and how he tries to clean up the system by staying inside the police department.
