Starring <strong>Sachiin Joshi, Gihani Khan, Vimla Raman, Prakash Raj, Mahesh Manjrekar</strong> Directed by <strong>Ankush Bhatt</strong> Rating: <strong>***</strong> If Chulbul Pandey in <em>Dabangg</em> were to be merged with Anant Velankar in Govind Nihalani’s <em>Ardh Satya</em> we would probably get Abhijeet Patil in <em>Mumbai Mirror</em>. Patil, played by entrepreneur-actor Sachiin Joshi, is the product of Mumbai’s underbelly. He is a cop. But he could well be on the other side of the law without skipping a beat.

It looks like Mahesh Manjrekar cannot stay away from villainy. Or maybe villainy can’t stay away from him. Having sworn off evil guys’ roles he is back at it full-throttle. This time he has stepped into Amjad Khan’s role of evil Zamindar Sher Singh Bandookwala in the remake of Himmatwala. The role has an interesting history. Amjad Khan badly needed to escape the iconic status accorded to his Gabbar Singh act in Sholay.
