Ghamasaan Review: A Riveting Battle Against Dacoit Brutality
‘Ghamasaan’ review: A riveting good-versus-evil battle · scroll.in

Ghamasaan is a film about a police team trying to catch a dangerous dacoit named Maharaj.

The story takes place in Uttar Pradesh in 2006.

Maharaj hurts and threatens many villagers, while powerful political people help protect him.

Police officer Aditya leads the effort to find him.

Aditya uses careful planning and help from villagers and local performers.

The film shows Maharaj as cruel instead of pretending he is a hero.

Arshad Warsi plays Maharaj, and Pratik Gandhi plays Aditya.

The reviewer likes the acting, storytelling and ending, but feels the film would look better on a bigger screen.
