There’s nothing different about ‘Risk’. On the face of it, it’s the same cop and underworld saga, except for a twist in the tale. Also, be prepared for a lot of blood and violence. After all, you’re watching an action flick. But worse still, one sees all this happening in real life too, so in a way there’s nothing shocking about the film.

Another way in which ‘Risk’ differs from other underworld films is that it’s the story of an honest and upright cop Suryakant (Randeep Hooda). It’s his journey. Suryakant wants to wipe out Khalid (Vinod Khanna), an underworld don, who operates from Bangkok. But there are lots of hurdles in his path, one of them being the Police Commissioner’s link with the underworld.

At one point, he is falsely implicated for being hand-in-glove with gangsters and put behind bars until Khalid gets Suryakant his uniform back and uses him to settle scores with his arch rival (Zakhir Hussain). Very smartly, Suryakant eliminates part of Khalid's aides and also his younger brother (Yashpal Sharma) and his trusted aide (Makrand Deshpande). He even guns down the Home Minister. Khalid is arrested and deported from Thailand. But one thing seems a bit far-fetched. Is it so easy to kill a Minister (Anant Jog) in his house and walk away so coolly?
