Based on True events leading to the famous encounters at lokhandwala in 1991, Shootout at lokhandwala is a gritty, macho & very commercial portrayal of events that took place leading to the encounters.
Sanjay Dutt plays ACP Shamsher Khan who was charged with working for Dawood Ebrahim, the movie lets you decide whether that indeed was the case, Sanju puts in a bravura performance, hes never been cooler. Vivek Oberoi as Gangster Maya Dolas is also fantastic, great to see the lad back in form, he reworks the magic of "chandu" from company. Suneil shetty & arbaaz khan are both also first rate as sanjus sidekicks.
The real weakness of the movie lies in the rest of the gangsters especially Tushar Kapoor, cmon no ones ever going to take him seriously as a Bhai?! There are 3 Mujra songs which further slow down proceedings, but having said that Shoout out at Lokhandwala is a fantastic Commercial thriller, i give it an 8.
