‘Aurangzeb’ is a crime drama, focuses on the land mafia and the enmity between two authoritative factions: Police and mafia. The film marks the big screen debut of Atul Sabharwal, who directed a crime show, ‘Powder’ for Yash Raj's television unit. The director knows the technicalities right, but he falters and falters big time, in narrating a gripping story in a concise format. Resultantly, the film tests the patience of the spectator in the second hour and the impact of several brilliant moments gets washed away in the process. The flick catches your eye initially. There are numerous characters in this cat and mouse saga and the storytelling, although slow-paced, keeps the spectator glued to the proceedings. On the whole, the movie has a great premise, but great plots don't, generally, translate into great films. This one's way too lengthy and mediocre (second hour) to leave any kind of an impression whatsoever. Can be seen only for the major characters otherwise the flick is very disappointing!
