Storyline

On a calm summer day in 1991, in the bustling Lokhandwala Complex, five criminals including Maya and Dilip were counting 70 lakhs in flat no. 32 B, when 286 policemen, headed by ACP Khan, took strategic positions around their building. A gunfire ensued and the entire nation witnessed the most talked about daylight encounter lasting 6 hours that transformed suburban Mumbai into a virtual war zone. Shootout At Lokhandwala is the story of a seasoned cop, Khan, who chased Khalistani extremists, handpicked cops like Inspector Kaviraj Patil and Constable Javed Shaikh, and dared to engage trigger-happy gangsters in a residential locality of Mumbai. Khan's fight went beyond the encounter as he faced inquisition from his own department and legal charges of human rights violations. Shootout At Lokhandwala is the story of an upcoming underworld gangster, Maya, and his highly skilled partner, Dilip. The two made extortion the buzzword in the early 90s and dared to disobey the big bhai of the ... Written by Becca

Trivia

The film is based upon the real-life gun battle between gangsters and Mumbai Police, which occurred on November 16, 1991. See more »

Goofs

In the scene just before the shoot out, when the anchorwoman is interviewing an actress, the table has a Pepsi bottle on it. However, this Pepsi bottle looks like the redesigned Pepsi bottles from the late 90s: since the film takes place in 1991, the bottle should have been the older gray/white style. See more »

Quotes

Dhingra: [interrogating the cops involved in the shootout] You mean all the charges against the ATS - lockup tortures, public shootouts, encounter killings - are all lies?
Javed Shaikh: The truth is not something that you read about on some piece of paper. The truth is something that you find out on the streets of Bombay.

OK Movie
17 December 2010 | by (Heraganahalli, India) – See all my reviews

The movie has a big star-cast but short on acting. The movie is based on rumor. This is the underworld of Mumbai Bhai's akin to the Mafia. The movie is a a long flash back defending the action of the Inspector of police where his modus operandi is questioned. The movie is one time watch for the action-ruthless and daring among the factions. Extortion is norm and payoff is spent on dance bars and biriyani. The movie that I really appreciated was "Chandni Bar" which shares similarities in a way but really well directed by Madhur Bhandarkar who seems to have some kind of hold on the Mumbai sub-culture. Inspite of the high priced above the line cast-there is not much scope for acting by any one in particular and no one really stand out nor make any dent. This is not a movie that I would brag about.
