N. Chandra's KAGAAR, produced by Dr. Mrunalini, is the story of one long night.

Kagaar is the story of one long night. A night of suspenseful wait for a prey.. the hunter has waited for this moment all his life and although he knows that the end would be bloody and tragic, it is a call of duty he cannot ignore.. and as the world celebrates new year, and as his wife wait for him to get home, Bhaskar Sarnaik, the sub-inspector who has killed 70 men in encounters waits for the biggest catch of them all.. Because Adi meant more than just a law breaker to him.. Adi was his childhood fried from his village.. Adi was the man who ignored Bhaskar's pleas to return to the village and lead a peaceful life.

Director N. Chandra proves that he is most comfortable attempting a hard-hitting fare [ANKUSH, PRATIGHAAT]. However, KAGAAR lacks the hammer-strong impact of Chandra's earlier films, although a few sequences in the post-interval portions manage to keep your attention arrested.

Like always, Om Puri is efficient, handling his role with effortless ease. Nandita Das depicts the helplessness with precision. The sequence when an enquiry committee lands up at her residence and her subsequent outburst reinforces the fact that she's an actress of calibre.

Despite being pitted against seasoned performers, Amitabh Dayal succeeds in leaving a strong impact. The actor lends the right colours to his role and delivers a performance that's truly noteworthy. Anoop Soni is another actor to watch out for. He is highly competent.

'Kagaar' is crafted to be the year's most significant and emotionally disturbing film, it has been designed by the best technicians in the business. KAGAAR is a sincere attempt with several engrossing moments.
