A Cine Boutique Entertainment UK Ltd, Aron Govil
Productions Inc. and the production of Arun Govil, ‘Shoot on
Sight’ releases today. Starring the likes of Naseeruddin
Shah, Greta Scacchi, Om Puri, Gulshan Grover, Nafisa Ali,
Laila Rouass, Mikaal Zulfikar, Urvashi Chand and Rohan Chand;
the film has been directed by Jagmohan Mundhra. The movie is
about the real life incident of London when a Brazilian man
was killed by cops, |
|
suspected of being involved in London blasts.
Although the story is imaginary but when you watch
it on screen, you find so many questions unanswered.
The film talks about the investigation, which is
done on the killing of a Muslim suspect after the
London blasts that is carried out by a London based
professionally ambitious Muslim police officer. AS
the investigation progresses, it becomes crystal
clear that the killing was pretty unfair. The big
flaw is that the killer cop is wrongly made a |
|
 |
|
|
hero in the end. |

The movie begins when a senior cop Tariq Ali kills a
Muslim on a platform in the Charing Cross tube station. And
here the investigation oozes out. Ali has an English wife
played by Greta Scacchi and two kids. He has a close
childhood friend called Junaid who is an extremist. As soon
as the investigation comes forward, Ali cones under scan of
seniors and media. Soon it becomes clear that the man killed
was innocent. The director makes the audience believe that
Ali might have killed the youngster under pressure of his
boss, who felt Ali was getting biased towards people of his
religion as Ali was a |
|
Muslim born in Pakistan. And the story also
makes the viewers believe that Ali murdered the
young man because he liked to have a promotion,
which was not achievable for the Asians in UK. One
day, Ali’s nephew comes to meet him and here the
association of Ali with his extremist Imam friend is
published in the newspapers. In the last sequence
the Muslim cops is presented as a hero in the
newspapers and the investigation is imperfectly
concluded. |

Naseeruddin Shah as the investigating officer is
wonderful. Om Puri is competent. Greta is great. The rest of
the cast is impressive. The direction is ordinary. The
script is just about okay. The film has no attraction for
the audiences. An ordinary show. |
