Nigehbaan starring Sameer Dharmadhikari and Sandali Sinha is definitely not the flavour of the season. A romantic action-paced film revolving around police-underworld links is not a novel theme in Bollywood. The film is produced by Shantilal Bokadia and directed by Dilip Shankar of Kaalchakra fame.
Vikram (Sameer Dharmadhikari) plays a hot-blooded cop with the intention to eliminate the anti social elements and the criminals. Nisha (Sandali Sinha) is a human rights activist who stands up for the innocent victims falling in trap of the politics-police-underworld mayhem. Vikram and Nisha love each other inspite of their professional differences and consequently decide to marry.
But Nisha isn’t aware of Vikram being a sleuth cop until he kills her brother Rohit accidentally. She treads to seize the killer and is devastated when she faces the reality. She has to go by instinct or impulse, either choose him or expose him to justify his acts. She goes ahead and marries him only for further complications between the two!
Apart from the cop stories flooding the gates of Bollywood there is a silver lining with Dilip Shankar excelling in treating the subject and also in regard of direction. Representing the threads of police, politician and underworld, extortion and encounters, this is a full proof action flick. Another savior of this run-of-the-mill film are the fiery dialogues by Sayyed Sultan. They’ve the punch and set the screen on fire. The masses are certainly going to applaud to them. Himesh Reshammiya’s compositions are fine but don’t gel well with the narrative, being too mushy for a rough and tough film. A sneak peek on the characters of Sameer and Sandali Sinha shows that within the given dimension they’ve done well. Sameer looks and persona in the film flourishes with the image of a hard-hitting cop. Sandali Sinha does more than just screen presence. Other characters like Ashok Samarth, Ehsaan Khan, Akhilendra Mishra, Dinesh Thakur and Govind Namdeo excel.
More publicity of the project might have been a kind of boon for the film. With the cast and crew belonging to the unfamiliar and infamous category, the prospect of the film is at halt.
