Mukhbiir is a thriller directed by the Mani Shankar
which revolves around the life and events surrounding an
Indian spy. Sameer Dattani plays the spy, while Om Puri,
Sunil Shetty, Sushant Singh, Rahul Dev, Jackie Shroff
and Raima Sen play the supporting roles
This story is about one
such young man who is an informer for the intelligence
department and the many masks he wears - enacting a
desperate drama where forgetting the lines means instant
death. This is the story of the many lives he has to
live... the many deaths he has to die... because
information is vital.
It's a gripping film about a
rare few men who choose to become hunted shadows so that
others like us may live in peace and enjoy the sunshine.
It is a film where the espionage meets the underworld -
the world that is all around us, yet beyond our grasp.
Ever present, yet never seen. True and credible in every
detail...
The story of the informer has never been told before.
That is because informers live in the world of shadows,
leading secret lives. After years of research to
understand the hidden trugh about them, here is one film
which takes you into their world, their life and
probably their minds...
Sammir Dattani has put in his soul in an excellence
performance. Om Puri is natural in his character. Rahul
Dev is good while special mention has to be made of
Sushant Singh who is impressive as a Terrorist. Suniel
Shetty, Raima Sen and Jackie Shroff hardly have anything
to do in the movie.
There are just few songs, no
irrelevant comedy in this well made film which has good
performances. The risks, losses and sacrifices the
central character has to go thru are beautifully
narrated in this slick film.
