On a calm summer day in 1991, in the bustling Lokhandwala Complex, five
criminals including Maya and Dilip were counting 70 lakhs in flat no. 32 B, when
286 policemen, headed by ACP Khan, took strategic positions around their
building. A gunfire ensued and the entire nation witnessed the most talked about
daylight encounter lasting 6 hours that transformed suburban Mumbai into a
virtual war zone.
Shootout At Lokhandwala is the story of a seasoned cop, Khan, who chased
Khalistani extremists, handpicked cops like Inspector Kaviraj Patil and
Constable Javed Shaikh, and dared to engage trigger-happy gangsters in a
residential locality of Mumbai. Khan's fight went beyond the encounter as he
faced inquisition from his own department and legal charges of human rights
violations. Shootout At Lokhandwala is the story of an upcoming underworld
gangster, Maya, and his highly skilled partner, Dilip. The two made extortion
the buzzword in the early 90s and dared to disobey the big bhai of the
underworld, drawing the attention of Khan and his newly formed ATS squad. Both
Khan and Maya were men obsessed, so devoted to their professions that their
personal lives were a disaster.
Shootout At Lokhandwala explores the personal obsessions and sacrifices of the
two protagonists with absorbing insight, with some of the most riveting action
sequences to be ever filmed.
