Ansh - The Deadly Part is supposed to be the launch pad for southern star Abbas, however the films content is nothing but of the plenty of Mithun - Dharmendra kind of action, crime and punishment potboiler.

The main protagonist of the films are, DCP Bhagat Pandey an honest IPS officer who is transferred to Mumbai for being too honest. Inspector Sukhdev Singh earns a jail term for his honesty. Last but not the least, Raj Guru a collegean who becomes a gangster, thanks to the corrupt system.

The names sound fimilar, they have to for they have been deliberately taken from the famous trinity of martyrdom Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukhdev. Then there is the rival gang, Govind Edda (Sayaji Shinde) and Babu Bakshi (Milind Gunaji), thriving under the patronage of corrupt politicians. Put these together, stir well and you have Ansh - The Deadly Part.

While DCP Bhagat Pandey (Om Puri) remains honest to his profession throughout the film, Sukhdev Singh (Ashutosh Rana), disgusted with the system, decides to take the law in his hands (after he is proved innocent with the help of DCP Bhagat Pandey). Raj Guru (Abbas) takes over from the large-hearted underworld don Dawoo (Ashish Vidyarthi), with Munna Bhai (Rajat Bedi) as his right hand man. Of course, circumstances bring all three together for the hurried climax. To bring in the mandatory romance and songs, there are Sharbani Mukherjee as Shweta --- a bar dancer who Raj Guru saves from the clutches of the evil Govind Edda --- and Shama Sikander as Kusum (Raj Guru sacrifices his love for her after he takes over from Dawoo).

After having worked in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam films, southern star Abbas makes his debut in Bollywood with Ansh. He had earlier made an appearance on the Hindi screen with Duniya Dilwalon Ki, a dubbed version of his Tamil film Kadhal Desam.

Despite boasting of names like Om Puri, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sayaji Shinde and Ashutosh Rana. They all play their parts well, but that's about it. Nadeem-Shravan have clearly not spent much effort in composing the score. Some technical finesse and a tighter script could have helped the film. The only person who seems to have made some kind of progress with this film is writer-director Rajan Johri. His debut film, the Puru Raajkumar starrer Uljhan, had only managed to secure a DVD release.

Ansh may not find an ‘ansh’ on this weeks entertainment schedule what with some sweety screaming ‘khallas’ in the neighbouring cinema hall.
