Sushant Singh and Mahima at 'Sehar' press conference |
Now for the story. 'Sehar' describes the journey of a newly-appointed 31-year-old S.S.P. of Lucknow, Ajay Kumar (Arshad Warsi), who is instrumental in bringing together a group of committed police officers under the support of the Special Task Force. The Force with a single agenda, succeeds in challenging the might of organized crime in Uttar Pradesh. And in the process, what unfolds is the ever-changing dynamics of Uttar Pradesh's siyaasat: Railway contracts, ISI involvement, politician-mafia-police-builder nexus, rigid red-tapeism and criminalization of University students.
Didn't we tell you that all this is nothing new to Bollywood. Every average Hindi filmgoer has seen this on screen before. To cut a long story short, 'Sehar' is a cop film set in Lucknow. So in more ways than one, it is old wine repackaged and sold (at least a desperate bid to) in a new bottle! Sounds clichéd like the film? |
