The concept idea of "OFFICER"

The police learn from criminals to prevent their next crime. But
in the process some of them become criminals themselves.

This is the story of such one police Officer who went after
another Officer.

Though its business is preventing crime, the Police is also like

any other underworld Company. Legal aspects apart, the
difference between the two is that an underworld company is
primarily intended for making monetary profits whereas a police
organisation is meant to be duty bound and is intended to keep
on evolving a procedural system to fight crime. But any
organization is eventually run by human beings who inherently
like any other human being would have greed, ego and ambition,
due to which many times they try to overrun an organisation.

This story of "OFFICER" is about such people.

STORY FLOW

Pre-act:

INT. UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT. NIGHT

It’s night and a Scoda reaches an underground parking lot. A man

(Narayan Pasari) in his 40's opens the door and gets off. He
takes the lift and opens the door of a flat with his key and
enters in.

INT. PASARI HOUSE. NIGHT

He visits his aged mother in the inner room. While taking off
his shirt he gets a call. He sees the ID "Sawant Sir" and comes
to attention.

NARAYAN PASARI
Sir!

SAWANT
Where are you?
NARAYAN PASARI
just reached home sir

SAWANT
(silent for a while)

NARAYAN PASARI
Sir?

SAWANT
Can you just come down to my place?

NARAYAN PASARI
Sure sir.

Cut to:
INT. PARKING LOT

Narayan Pasari parks his vehicle in another apartment block

A servant opens the door and takes him to a man in his 50s
having a drink. Even though that man is in plain clothes their
body language tells us they are cops and we also can tell that
the man having the drink is a superior to Narayan Pasari by the
way he sits and talks. His name is Sawant.

SAWANT
Soda or water?

NARAYAN PASARI
No sir I stopped drinking.

SAWANT
Sure?

NARAYAN PASARI
Yeah.

SAWANT
Well Narayan Pasari. I just want to talk something. Do you
remember 5 years ago much before you went into the encounter
squad when we were at Gohwlchowki police station, I arrested
this guy called Rizvi?

Narayan Pasari thinks.

SAWANT
..in a trafficking case

NARAYAN PASARI
That long haired guy. He created quite a scene swearing revenge
on you?

SAWANT
Yeah the same one. He was inside for 4 years. Around six months
back he came out. (After a long pause). Somehow he managed to
get a pic of my college going daughter and morphed that picture
with the naked body of some other woman… (takes a deep breath) …
with her legs spread apart. And sent it to me. He also put her
personal number soliciting sex (taking a large swig of a drink
and banging the table with the empty glass). That motherfucking
son of a bitch knows that there is nothing I can do. Because to
make it a case, I would have to show it to my subordinates, from
where it will go to the media and eventually it might even go to
my daughter.
Narayan Pasari listens.

SAWANT
With whatever I managed to make of myself – my career, my name
and everything, I feel like an impotent bastard because of this.
There’s nothing I can do and he knows it (tears start to fall).
(After a long pause) Anyways just wanted to share it with
someone and I thought of you. Sure you won't have a drink?

NARAYAN PASARI
No sir. Thanks.

SAWANT
Sorry for dragging you out this late.

Narayan Pasari gets up.

NARAYAN PASARI
See you sir.

Off he goes.

EXT. ON ROAD DRIVING VEHICLE

Narayan Pasari while driving makes a few calls and takes a turn
into a lane. As he knocks on a door a long haired drunk guy
opens the door and Narayan Pasari shoots him in the head.
Narayan Pasari goes home and sleeps and early in the morning as
he is making coffee there's breaking news on the TV that an ex-
convict called Rizvi was shot dead and he gets a message. He
picks up the phone to see its from from Sawant ..it just
says “Thanx.”

Titles start rolling.

1. In a highly tense sequence in Mumbai an action team of

undercover cops headed by Narayan Pasari kill 7 gangsters which
also results in the deaths of four of the police team members.

2. We see intercuts of newspaper and TV clips as the media hails

the work of Narayan Pasari for nipping this new gang in the bud
and calls the dead cops martyrs and hails Narayan Pasari's long
and exemplary track record. But surprisingly one of the news
reports from a sensational news channel called 10x suddenly
breaks out news that a writ petition is filed in the high court
that it was actually a fake encounter. The high court on the
basis of some prima facie evidence orders for a probe.

In a very stylized montage with unusual shots of Mumbai

intercut/dissolve/morphed with some newspaper headlines and
reports with relevance to the content, the below voice over
comes in.
As long as the notorious gangsters Dawood Ibrahim and Chota
Rajan were together they had an iron grip on the crime world of
Mumbai which ironically created peace in the city..That's
because none of the other gangs had the courage to tangle with
the D company and hence they were compelled to lie low. But the
1993 serial blasts caused a split between the two and the after-
effects of this gave rise to a number of splinter gangs who
started fighting among themselves and they were also hell bent
on proving their supremacy to the city and this created an
unprecedented upsurge in the criminal activities of the
underworld which resulted in innumerable contract killings and
extortion activities. An angry government took stringent steps
and all the gangs were slowly and surely decimated and destroyed
by a specially constituted squad headed by a man named Pasari.
It was Pasari's ruthless determination which resulted in the
killings of more than 300 gangsters between 1999 and 2004 which
practically and literally ran the underworld into under the
ground.

Then in 2005 the so called encounter squad was disbanded as the

government no longer saw any need for it and all its members
including Pasari were relocated on to various other jobs in the
police.

A few years after the dissolution of the squad a writ petition

was filed by a ganglord's brother Rajaya on Pasari in the Mumbai
high court on allegations of corruption, fake encounters and
racketeering.

On the basis of some primafacie evidence produced, the Mumbai

high court ordered for a special investigation team to be set up
headed by a young IPS officer (Our Hero) to investigate the
allegations.

3. We introduce the Hero in Hyderabad Police Academy beating

some policemen and teaching them defense skills.

3a. Hero gets to know that he is appointed as SIT Chief and that
he has to go to Mumbai.

3b. Hero comes home to his Daughter and tells her about his new
posting as the chief of Special investigation team and talks
what he knows about Narayan Pasari. He regrets that he is going
to investigate his favorite and the top cop. Hero tells her that
he himself is an admirer of Narayan Pasari from his training
days for his contribution in destroying the underworld and he
says that he feels sad that they are penalising Narayan Pasari
for the good work he has done. Daughter asks Hero if it is
necessary to do such a thankless job.

4. Hero and Daughter reach Mumbai and are greeted by heroin who
is a cop and her junior Haneef who both were known to Hero in
the academy.

5. En route to Hero’s new home, Heroine tells Hero that

underworld activities slowed down a lot until this shooting
incident just now. But Haneef feels Narayan Pasari should not be
taken for granted and tells an anecdote about Narayan Pasari
which comes as a shock to Daughter.

6. At home Hero tells her that he believes Narayan Pasari is

being framed by a nexus of police and underworld elements
because of their past enmity between themselves and also against
Narayan Pasari. Daughter asks Hero how he can be empathetic
towards a person who at the end of the day killed hundreds. Hero
reasons out that deep inside he understands that what Narayan
Pasari was doing is a thankless job of going beyond the law to
protect the law.
7. We see Narayan Pasari for the first time with his mistress
Shaalu. We get to know that Shaalu's husband is an ex-gangster
and was killed by Narayan Pasari long ago. While Narayan Pasari
is making love to Shaalu he gets to know that a special
investigation team has been constituted against him and an IPS
officer (Hero) has been given charge.

8. Hero goes to formally report to the JCP (Joint commissioner

of police) who is the same Sawant, who asked Narayan Pasari to
kill his daughter’s harasser Rizvi. Hero tells the commissioner
that he is appointed as the SIT Chief to investigate Narayan
Pasari’s case. We get to know that Hero will constitute his own
team and the SIT does not fall under the jurisdiction of the
Mumbai commissioner but is directly supervised by the Mumbai
high court. Sawant promises him full cooperation.

9. Narayan Pasari in an under construction building’s terrace

meets his gang of policemen and informers including gangsters as
he gets to know about Hero’s moves. He says that he’s the most
dangerous cop in Mumbai city and ridicules Hero saying what can
a Hyderabad police do to the most dangerous cop of Mumbai?

10. Hero calls up Narayan Pasari and asks for a meeting with him
to take a formal statement. Narayan Pasari comes and Hero
expresses his respect for him and tells him that he feels really
unfortunate to meet him in such circumstances. Narayan Pasari
says that he understands that it's Hero's job. Pasari leaves the
place without even shaking hands with Hero.

11. Hero talks about Narayan Pasari’s situation with his

associates Heroine and Haneef even as Daughter is present. Hero
says that he believes that what Narayan Pasari did could be a
fake encounter which could be justified on a necessity level.
When he tells Daughter that the police and judiciary by their
very nature cannot afford to have moral sympathy on lawbreakers,
Daughter retorts by asking what's the case if the very police is
the law breaker. As much as Hero tries to explain to her, her
logic is equally strong.

12. Meanwhile after talking to his unwell mother for a while and
putting her to sleep, Narayan Pasari on phone talks to his son
who stays in a hostel. We get to know Narayan Pasari's wife died
a long time back in an accident. He then speaks to Nakki on the
phone.

13. Intro of Nakki in Dubai who was an ex-associate of Dawood

but who now branched out. They discuss about Hero.

14. Hero meets Gorak a suspended ex associate but now a sworn

enemy of Narayan Pasari. Gorak tells him the truth about Narayan
Pasari and tells that in politice and mafia, nothing is what it
seems.

14a.Hero meets and investigates a few others in a series of

montages.

14b. Hero reveals his shock to Daughter that Narayan Pasari is

not what he thought he was and a witness Swamy is irrefutable
proof of that.

15. Hero with all the information from Swamy, prepares an arrest
strategy with his associates to arrest Narayan Pasari and his
associates.

16. Hero calls Narayan Pasari when he is with Shaalu.

17. Narayan Pasari is arrested in a nail-biting sequence:

Hero sends action teams to catch all the accused associates of
Pasari at once at different places except for the prime accused,
Pasari. Hero personally calls up for Pasari and manages to
arrests him in his office amidst high terror and tension.

Hero sends his action teams to catch all the associates of

Narayan Pasari at once at different places except for the prime
accused, Mr. Narayan Pasari himself. Hero personally calls up
for Narayan Pasari and manages to arrest him in his office
amidst high terror and tension: Hero gives Narayan Pasari his
case file and asks him to formally go through it. In the middle
of dead silence, while Narayan Pasari is reading the 25-page
case file, Pasari gets a text message which says that hero's
action team caught all the accused associates of Pasari.
Unfettered, Narayan Pasari shows no emotion and continues to go
through the case file. Hero, being certain of what the text
message is about, feels shocked to see Narayan Pasari not
reacting at all. Dreaded hero slowly opens his table’s chest and
reaches for his gun. He slowly brings the gun towards his lap
and points it towards Narayan Pasari. Narayan Pasari, sensing
what is happening, still doesn’t make a move. Terrified hero
takes his mobile out and texts his associates to enter the room
to assist him in arresting Pasari. Hero them explains the
situation to Narayan Pasari and asks him to call off the duty
and remove the badge. Narayan Pasari gets up and walks two steps
backward and asks if he can make a phone call. Hero agrees.
Narayan Pasari calls his woman and tells her that he will meet
her in the court during hearing. Narayan Pasari again asks hero
if he can make another phone call, but this time only to talk
alone. Hero disagrees saying that it can’t be possible because
after all he is arrested already. Narayan Pasari asks one more
time if he can talk on phone going to a corner of the room. Hero
says no to him and just then an associate moves forward to take
Narayan Pasari into custody. Narayan Pasari shrugs in conceit.
Hero gets up in a fit of terror and points his gun at Narayan
Pasari to stop him. The entire team of associates roundup
Narayan Pasari with their guns. Narayan Pasari looks at hero
with contempt amidst of this high drama while getting arrested.

18. JCP Sawant to clear the air gives a media interview on

corruption of cops by becoming the face of the whole department.
He also makes a very antagonistic comment on Narayan Pasari’s
methods and character. Narayan Pasari watches this in his
custody.

19. Narayan Pasari is sent to jail and is kept in a cell along

with a gangster called Iqbal who he himself arrested in the
past. Iqbal humiliates Narayan Pasari. Rage is building up
inside.

20. A meeting happens among some politicos along with Minister

Sonaki. They are worried that if Narayan Pasari remains too long
in jail, he might reveal some truths during the interrogation.

21. Swamy the witness in Narayan Pasari's case is mysteriously

found murdered and his body is found near Hero's house which
obviously was meant as a warning to Hero. Daughter is terrified.

22. In the absence of the main witness, the court rules that the
prosecution failed to prove the case and acquits Narayan Pasari.

22a: Both Gorak and Hero watch the news report.

23. Nakki calls to congratulate Narayan Pasari and just then

there's an attack on Narayan Pasari in which he escapes but his
mother gets killed in the shootout.

24. JCP Sawant and Hero meet. Since Narayan Pasari was acquitted
the SIT stands dissolved and Hero is now working under the JCP.
Hero says that it looks like an attack of gangsters who once
worked with Narayan Pasari as but parted from him on bad terms.
JCP says that it is the need for the hour for the whole
department to keep check on Narayan Pasari’s increasing power.
25. Narayan Pasari being cleared of charges is released and
reinstated back into the police and he celebrates with Shaalu
and talks to his son on phone.

26. Narayan Pasari re-joins the police and formally meets the
JCP where even Hero is incidentally present in the room.

Hero and Narayan Pasari shake hands. Pasari hides his anger.

They discuss about the death of Narayan Pasari's mother. JCP

nevertheless feels happy for Narayan Pasari being cleared of all
the charges and congratulates him for his work and also assures
that since there's no underworld anymore there will be peace.
Hero is shocked at JCP’s drastic change in behaviour. After
Narayan Pasari leaves, JCP explains that he needed to do it.

26a. Pasari talks in a press meet and says that he is back.

27. The very next day the JCP is shot dead. This triggers a
panic wave across the city. Hero hears the news in shock.

28. No one takes responsibility of the assassination in the

media but privately a lot of sudden extortion calls and
mysterious threats start coming to the various rich and famous
people like industrialists to businessmen to politicians to film
personalities from a new underworld Organization.

28a. Gorak tells Hero that it's Narayan Pasari.

29. The top brass of the police and politicos have an emergency
meeting to discuss the new gang and in the meeting Hero looks at
Narayan Pasari while Narayan Pasari stays unflinchingly calm.

30. Hero discusses about Narayan Pasari with Daughter who tells
him that he cannot frame Narayan Pasari unless he finds another
strong evidence like Swamy. Daughter complains that ever since
they have moved to Bombay, their personal lives have been taken
over by this case. Hero takes his daughter for an outing to
cheer her up.

31. Narayan Pasari at home is crying even as he makes love to

Shaalu thinking of his dead mother. In the whole scene we feel a
sense of a psychopathic streak in Narayan Pasari.

32. Daughter wakes up from a nightmare and says that she has had
the worst nightmare ever which she feels will come true. She
says that Narayan Pasari could be vengeful and insists that he
should get himself transferred. Even as she tells him to stop
doing this thankless job, Hero calms her down.

33. The home minister formulates a new squad to hunt down the
new company and due to his track record and experience appoints
Narayan Pasari as its head much to the dismay of Hero and worse
is when he himself is appointed to work under Narayan Pasari.

34. Narayan Pasari makes a surprise visit to meet Gorak. He says

he suspects that Gorak was one of the forces behind his arrest
but thinks they should just leave their grudges aside. Gorak
agrees.

35. Hero gets a tip from the people who have been following
Gorak and is shocked to hear about his meeting with Narayan
Pasari.

36. Just when Hero is enraged about Gorak, Gorak meets him and
tells he's just pretending to be helping Narayan Pasari. Hero
gets convinced.

37. Gorak immediately meets Narayan Pasari and tells him that he
met Hero according to the plan.

38. Haneef tells Heroine and Hero that as long as they can't
make their investigation on Narayan Pasari official, they have
no other choice but to enlist someone like Nayak in the
underworld to help track the support system of Narayan Pasari. A
frustrated Hero finally decides to meet Nayak and tells them to
arrange a meeting after much ado.

39. Intro of Nayak.

40. Nayak and Hero meet; Much to Hero’s surprise Nayak

introduces himself as the anonymous caller who helped Hero to
crack Narayan Pasari’s case.

Nayak tells Hero that he is working for Government only and

tells that nothing is as it seems in politics and mafia. Nayak
reveals his enmity with Narayan Pasari and says that he knows
Narayan Pasari is doing everything with the help of Nakki and
the only way to stop this is to kill him. But Hero disagrees
saying that they need to catch the nexus rather than just
Narayan Pasari himself and that's because the way the new
company is operating it’s impossible for Narayan Pasari to do it
alone without a considerable man power, financial and political
support. Nayak agrees to help and shakes hand with Hero. But
after Hero is gone we reveal that the meeting has been video
recorded by somebody in the gang.

41. Daughter gets to know about Hero’s meeting with Nayak and
goes overboard expressing her disdain. But he tells his Daughter
about the services Nayak is giving to the department. Daughter
questions her father of the integrity of the department. She
also questions his involvement with gangsters. Hero promises and
reassures Daughter saying that he will end it very soon.

42. Suddenly out of the blue Narayan Pasari cordially invites

Hero, Daughter and others to his home on the ocassion of him and
Shalu deciding to get married. Daughter suspects that Narayan
Pasari is planning to kill them all. Hero brushes it off saying
that Narayan Pasari is neither mad nor stupid.

43. While everybody is having a good time at Narayan Pasari’s

home, Hero tries to act normal yet hysterically searches every
nook and cranny to find nothing. In a dramatic contrast, Narayan
Pasari is busy detailing Hero’s Daughter about his mother's
recipe for a certain dish. Narayan Pasari gets emotional about
his mother. Daughter and Shailu have a chat. Narayan Pasari
hints to Hero that he knows about the Nayak meeting.

44. Hero immediately goes to Nayak to tell him that there might
be a traitor in his group. As Narayan Pasari knew that Hero
would contact Nayak now, he tips off Nakki about Hero secretly
meeting Nayak. Nakki sends his men there led by his main man
Yakub.

44a. As Hero explains about the infiltration in his gang, Nayak

singles out the traitor and calls his main man to hold on to the
traitor. But his man says that the traitor is already dead. As
Nayak is in shock, suddenly Yakub’s men start attacking. Amidst
a tense action sequence, Nayak manages to escape but Heroine
gets killed as she was accompanying Hero. Haneef's life is saved
and so is Hero's who barely manages to run out. Hero is enraged
with the death of heroine.

45. Hero reaches home slightly injured and Daughter is shocked

to see him in that state. She senses a change in Hero because
she never saw such rage in him

46. Home minister Sonaki conducts a meeting. Narayan Pasari

blames Hero for not disclosing why he illegally met Nayak.
47. Yakub informs Nakki on phone that Nayak got saved. As Yakub
requests for a second attempt to kill Nayak, Nakki tells Yakub
to do nothing and wait and watch.

48. Nakki calls Narayan Pasari and insists on Narayan Pasari to

finish off both Nayak and Hero before they do something to
counter them. Narayan Pasari counters Nakki telling that he
knows what to do and how to do. Nakki calls Haneef and tells he
wants to talk something about Nayak.

49. Hero is on vengeful mode knowing Haneef is found dead.

49a. Seeing the way Hero justifies his actions and association
with Nayak, Daughter feels tremendously worried to see a radical
change happening in Hero.

50. Narayan Pasari addresses his team and tells them that Nayak
as the head of the new underworld and he also produces the
videotape of Hero's meeting with Nayak. Hero is suspended
pending enquiry.

51. Hero reaches home and tells Daughter that he has been
suspended. She says that she does not seem to recognize the man
her father has become. She says she wants to go back home. He
apologises and pleads with her to stay back until he finishes
the case.

52. Narayan Pasari and Gorak discuss the case of Hero sitting
in the front seats of the car with Narayan Pasari driving. As
Narayan Pasari artfully extracts the answers he needed about
Hero and Nayak, a man in the back suddenly puts a garrotte
around his neck and starts strangling Gorak. Narayan Pasari
tells a dying Gorak that since he was not really sure whether he
was his or Hero's man he doesn’t want to take a chance.

53. Hero gets shocked to hear of Gorak's death but since he

believes that he is Narayan Pasari's man he doesn't suspect
Narayan Pasari.

54. Nayak calls Hero and tells that his gang is finished off
overnight. He tells that Narayan Pasari is hellbent on
destroying them and urges to kill Narayan Pasari before he kills
him. Hero lies to Daughter when she asks what the phone call is
about. As she senses it, he feels almost dead.
54a. Just then somebody leaks the videos of Hero meeting Nayak
and Hero is outright accused by the media. A tv channel demands
a new investigation to be started on Hero.

55. Nakki calls Hero to say thank you for making it easier for
his gang by finishing Nayak’s gang. Nakki also tells him he
knows that Narayan Pasari is behind the whole plan, including
Gorak's death, and asks Hero if he is interested in working with
him towards finishing off Narayan Pasari. He convinces Hero that
he feels Hero will be a better option for him. Hero declines.

56. Nakki on phone tells somebody that they don't have any use
with Nayak anymore.

56a. Nayak is dead. Hero pushed to the edge decides to

collaborate with Nakki and finally contacts his man Yakub for
weapons, men and information. Yakub calls Nakki and tells that
his plan has worked.

57. Hero goes on obsessively about finishing off Narayan

Pasari’s network. An infuriated Hero plans the ending of Narayan
Pasari’s network and in a montage that follows him destroying
Narayan Pasari’s power centre, he finally meets the home
minister Sonaki and provokes him to reveal everything he knows.
As Sonaki starts talking, he gets mysteriously shot dead. Hero
flees.

58. Narayan Pasari comes to meet Daughter and tells her that
Hero has killed Home Minister Sonaki. He tells that it’s Hero
who killed Gorak too. Daughter is shocked.

58a. Yakub tells Hero that he established contact with Shalu and
she's willing to snitch on him for a price. As both Hero and
Yakub leave for Shalu, just then Hero's phone rings.

59. Narayan Pasari from Hero’s home calls Hero and while Hero is
listening, Narayan Pasari explains Daughter that he already
knows that Hero’s next target would be Shaalu who holds some
information with regard to his network and tells Daughter that
he had to kill Shaalu before Hero could find her. Both Daughter
and Hero are shocked. Now Narayan Pasari accuses Hero of being
in cohorts with Yakub and threatens Hero to kill Yakub in a
blood curdling sequence of high tension. Hero finally kills
Yakub and then shouts at Narayan Pasari to leave his place.
Narayan Pasari says he is just having a casual chat with
Daughter and tells Hero to come and discuss. Narayan Pasari
hangs up and Hero rushes in panic to save his Daughter.
60. Narayan Pasari then tells a panicked Daughter that Hero is
working with Nakki now and asks her what the difference between
him and Hero is. He then asks about Hero's behavior at home and
other questions to prove his claim. Daughter accuses Narayan
Pasari of lying, manipulation and deceit. In a heated moment, he
shoots her and as she is lying down critically injured, he
agrees with her accusations and also tells that he used
everyone. Then he explains how the department can consume an
individual and tells how Hero became the reason behind the
murders of his mother, Sawant, Heroine, Swamy, Gorak, Nayak,
Shalu and many others and how he remains the blockade in the
process of him wanting to become both the next JCP and the head
of the new underworld. As a shocked Daughter is dumbstruck,
Narayan Pasari makes a call to Nakki to make a deal and just
then Hero arrives and a chase ensues which results in the death
of his daughter.

60a. Hero pleads Daughter to forgive him but Daughter dies after
saying she hates him for getting her into this situation and she
also says that she is relieved to die.

60b. After she dies Hero chases Narayan Pasari into an under
construction building and beats him to death. We see the same
psychopathic streak in his eyes which Narayan Pasari had. Pasari
is dead.

61. As the police and Ambulance take away Narayan Pasari's and
Daughter's bodies Hero sits there on the steps and starts
crying. From his close up the camera goes up to show the skyline
of Mumbai and the end credits roll.

The End
 CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

Narayan Pasari

Aged 41. Encounter cop. A waif with a switchblade soul. He is

the most celebrated top cop that could be the greatest gangster.
As smart as a cop can come, his reputation as the toughest man
on the forces has been well earned. His simplicity and brevity
are what make his character unforgettable.

Looks: Square-jawed, strong build, sturdy, muscular, barrel

chested, a born fighter with something wary around his eyes.

He moves with the stocky, stiff-legged gait of a former athlete.

His peppy, upbeat demeanour just barely masks a seething sense
of beastly danger and frustration continues underneath his skin.
A face so long out of the sun, it seems almost leached - except
for the glittering eyes, and the wet red mouth. His voice is
cultured, soft. When he begins to exchange dialogue, it's clear
that he is polite, brilliant, but fiendishly complex as he
quickly controls the situation by delving into anyone's psyche,
illustrating their weaknesses. If contemplated, his life could
be considered sad - his wife and mother dead, he is out of job
and imprisoned, etc. but with his style, attitude, charm, and
impeccable timing in personality he turns any depressing or
disturbing situation into a glamorized sequence that leaves us
wishing that we were him. He kills with a chilling ease that
could make any of his team members shudder. His appearance,
presence, and actions make him the ultimate image of evil. It is
this lethal and mixed combination of anticipation, action, and
dialogue which creates a suspenseful, unique, and hauntingly
unforgettable character. Wears clean-cut casuals, jeans, pleated
khaki pants, golf shirt/tshirt and boots.

Sawant

Aged 50, JCP of Mumbai.

Looks: A tall unctuous man with a high domed balding head and a
perpetual expression of moral superiority.

He has a daughter whom he is extremely protective about. His

presence is authoritative and commanding from the first moment
his silhouette is seen in the introduction, maintaining power in
the scenes by his actions and attitude. He looks placid but
there’s a sense of danger in him - he’s scarred on the inside.
His personality not only illustrates many complex and
dichotomous character traits, but also plants some of the main
themes of the movie: manipulation, opportunism and control.

Hero

Aged 35.

IPS and SIT chief. A young man who knows more about living
inside the system than living outside one. He is dressed well
and there's a slight show of restless intelligence and well
brought up. Capable and strong willed. Handsome, well groomed,
clean shaven, wears formals and spects.

Daughter

Aged 6. Daughter of hero.

Modern, sophisticated, and jaw-droppingly beautiful. Sweet

looking and a girl next door face.
Heroine

Aged 34, a batchmate of Hero during training days, he is also

one of Hero's most trusted associates.

Even though a subordinate to Hero, Heroine for all his

experience and wisdom gets from Hero a respect as high as any
superior can get.

Haneef

Aged 31. A batchmate of hero during training days and also one
of hero's most trusted associates.

Medium built and has an attractive babyface - an aura of

innocence.

Swamy

A fiftyish man with rumpled look and relaxed manner which

suggest that casualness runs deep in him. Everything about him
embodies a comical laziness - from his appearance to the fact
that he is not sure whether he should help the department or
not. But what is most striking about him is that he was an ex-
associate of Nakki the Dubai fled gangster who parted ways and
became an arch rival. He is also very much pissed off at Narayan
Pasari as he thinks Narayan Pasari is playing double games.
 Shaalu

40, once extremely beautiful, in her late thirties she’s still

very striking with an almost soldierly quality of “anything’s
possible when you’re in control.” She makes herself comfortable
at Narayan Pasari's place even though Narayan Pasari killed her
husband. Her appearance is even more eccentric and over the top
than the monstrosity of Narayan Pasari and that's what which
made Narayan Pasari fall for her. Shaalu bears a slight
resemblance to Daughter, but is not as overtly attractive. She
does, however, have a definite carnal appeal and air of
confidence that Daughter lacks. Her physically intimidating
attributes masks a very complicated and dangerous anger. She has
trouble making eye contact and sometimes it is hard to tell
whether she is talking to you or to herself. Just to physically
demonstrate her emotional state: She leaves her used clothes on
Narayan Pasari's bedspread, tosses her cigarette carelessly in
the trashcan, throws Narayan Pasari's gun in the fish tank, and
even mocks Narayan Pasari at times. And when Narayan Pasari is
reluctant to respond, she takes control by throwing him across
the bed, forcing him to react. There is a curious style, a great
sense of high voltage about her attire. She is usually dressed
in black no matter what she wears. And also she shocks by
wearing some unusually shocking clothes for the wrong occasions
- house pajamas, leopard-patterned scarf, turbans of same
material, etc.

She drinks when under pressure.

Rizvi

Early forties. A long haired and a usually drunk guy specialized

in trafficking.

Pasari's mother

Late sixties. She usually sits in a chair, staring ahead. The

light is gone from
her eyes, her face is a blank mask.

Narayan Pasari's son

Eight years old. He is big for his age and slightly plump and
has frizzy hair and wears black rimmed glasses. He studies very
earnestly.

Nakki
57 years. A Dubai fled gangster.

Just with phone calls he gets into head and can manipulate the
whole underworld. Anticipation is built in every step on the way
to Nakki. Every character in the story anticipates his physical
introduction because of the danger and mystery already
surrounding him throughout the film.

The police department describes Nakki as "a monster." His

associates like Yakub describe him as a man in late 50s, who
refused to let go of his youth ever since. His rivals like Swamy
and Naik describe him as darkness and shadow.

He clearly demonstrates the power of anticipation and when it

leads up to his introduction, we finally get to see him with
thick glasses, thick moustache, long hair, appearing all in
black. His voice makes the moment even more dramatic. He
immediately commands respect as everyone stand at attention.

He is probably the coolest 57-year-old on the planet.

Gorak

He is 38 but his eyes are much older. Underneath his

tranquillity lurks something wounded... and dangerous.

Narayan Pasari's once associate and close friend, and now a

double cross.

Wears clean-cut casuals, jeans, pleated khaki pants, golf

shirt/tshirt and boots.

He is a man to be feared. Also he is extremely good with gun.

Iqbal (36)

The smoothest, coolest gangster son-of-a-bitch you’ve ever seen.

Arrested by Narayan Pasari in the past, he orally confronts
Narayan Pasari when placed in the same lock up with him.
Although he is extremely charismatic and likable, Iqbal has a
self-destructive nature and an inability to conform to
authority.

Home Minister Sonaki

A politician of 60 with the attire of a Hollywood action
veteran.

Naik (55)

On surface he looks like he is detached, unkempt, scruffy beard,

glasses, a veteran of hopelessness as if he gave up before the
world did. But underneath he is a bantering rival to Narayan
Pasari and Nakki in ambition - just lacking the means to
overthrow them. The mere mention of the names Narayan Pasari and
Nakki changes Naik's mind quickly. He's terrified yet scared to
show it.

Eventually, with the help of hero, Naik tries to draw power and
secure his superiority. He has a daughter Sweety whom he is
extremely protective of.

Sweety (19)

Daughter of Naik.

Disobedient hair. Eyes shining with promise and possibility

Yakub (42)

Key aide of Nakki.
