Class of 83 review

Class of 83 is loosely based on a vel of S. Hussain Zaidi called Class of '83: Punishers Of Mumbai Police. It forms a fictional story using many real-life incidents of 80s India. se include  Punjab terrorism, AK47s finding its way to Mumbai, Datta Samant and struggle of cotton mill workers, ‘Naik and Kalsekar’ gang and finally, Dubai emerging as a favourite place of mobs. setting of Class of 83 is  80s and me runs throughout movie from poster to cinematography. 

What works?

Bobby Deol's acting is what works best for this kind-of cliched plot. His serious and righteous police officer, Vijay Singh who has to bear brunt of his senior's corruption, is almost pleasing to eye. Barring a few lacklustre scenes, Bobby Deol doubt seems to have come a long way from his previous uniformed characters like Tango Charlie. Among all corruption and decay in 80s Mumbai, Vijay Singh somehow seems to hold his he high and fight by means of vigilante justice.

rest of  Class of 83 cast is also to be hailed for lending beautiful support to plot. Joy Sengupta as DGP Raghav Desai is like a foil to Bobby Deol. Vishwajeet Prhan as a police acemy instructor comes with his own pack of brilliant acting. Anup Soni as corrupt politician once again win hearts after ar teworthy performance in Raat Akeli Hai in a similar role. debutant cets of Nasik police acemy also have delivered a teworthy performance. 

Ar brilliant aspect of Class of 83 is  amazing details with which 80s environment is recreated. sepia-tint furr ds to magic of cinematography. t to mention props like posters of Hero, Justice Chaudhury and Nastik at a random bus stop. 

What doesn't?

What mostly does t work is that director Atul Sabharwal moves too swiftly from one scene to ar. While one is yet to appreciate brilliance of a scene, next comes in distracting audience. Unfortunately, he seems to be in a tremendous rush to complete his plotline. 

Ar thing that does t work out for Class of 83 is that movie takes on many cliched cop-gangster. Also, verbal encounters seem more frequent than action ones. This ds to lacklustre quality of movie which follows historical events propelled by violence.
