The controlled Devgan is, as always, good to watch. Funnily, he's almost not there in the second-half, dominated by Pankaj Kapur who plays a reformed Chambal-ka-daaku, now an activist nukkad natak-kar. Eyes lined with kohl, and delivering thunderous dialogue with ease, Kapur is completely over the top, but completely memorable. Zariwala is more caricature than real, but again, like a good theatre man, keeps our attention with him. Devgan watches from the sidelines; as does his voice-of-conscience wife Vidya Balan, who desperately needs a voice modulation coach if she wants to stop sounding exactly the same in all her films. She has even less to do than him.
