Class of 83 Movie Review: Appreciated ‘Class of 83’ on Netflix
Mumbai Police and the Underworld … Hindi films are very popular. This subject has also entered the syllabus of the OTT platform from the big screen. Divya’s power in the web series is valid. So there was skepticism about whether Netflix would be able to impress the ‘Class of 83’ movie. Bobby Deol, Anup Soni and Joy Sengupta are the familiar faces in the film. In this case, the content has advanced the picture a lot. Serve smart with him.
The story of the film is based on S. Hussain Zaidi’s ‘The Class of 83: The Punishers of Mumbai Police’. Although told at the beginning of the film, the story is not exactly followed. The picture is just a shadow of the story.
1982 A new batch is undergoing training at the Police Academy in Nasik. That batch is the first batch of the new Dean of the Academy, Vijay Singh (Bobby). Although it is a punitive posting for victory. The dean of the worst five students in the batch is very eager to do the class. But his philosophy is not available! Coincidentally, Vijay had his first meeting with three of the five, outside the classroom. At first sight, Dean’s fist was on their foreheads. The story of how the five weakest members of the class made their mark in the Mumbai Police Force, or how they completed the dean’s unfinished work.

8/10
This plot of Hussein Zaidi may be familiar to the reader. Celluloid has also been seen before. However, Atul Sabharwal’s ‘Class of 83’ has made an unfamiliar impression on the familiar table.
The treatment of this photo in less than two and a half hours is very focused. There is not a single scene that has caused a rhythmic fall. In the first few scenes, the achievements and dialogues of the new cadres create a picture. Smart dialogue written by director Atul is the resource of the film. In this film, there is no jingle of shouting or chasing shots all the time as a cop-drama. The rivalry between the two emerging police officers, as well as the minister-gangster affair, has also come to light through small incidents. Minimalist treatment is the highlight of this film. There will be no tragedy in the life of a burnt police officer, what happens? But that emotion is also under control. There is no incident in the film. .Rather the fragmented events of Mumbai in the eighties, newspaper cut-outs, black-and-white video clippings have created a docu-drummer feel. The cinematography, set designing and detailing of the period film is admirable.
Many days later, Bobby Deol played the cover character in the film. But he is not throughout the whole picture. The side characters have also given him an ace in terms of acting. Bobby is no Singham or Simba here. However, his energy as a burnt-out police officer seemed a little low. She is restrained and beautiful in emotional scenes. Among the five students of Vijay are newcomers Hitesh Bhojraj (Barde), Bhupendra Jarawat (Shukla), Sameer Paranjape (Aslam). The narrator of the film is the character of Aslam. Joy Sengupta is good as Vijay’s friend-officer. It would have been nice to have more Anup Soni in the role of Minister Manohar Patkar.
.Atul’s previous notable works include the television series ‘Powder’ and the feature film ‘Aurangzeb’. However, the director is far from the light of publicity. When Bobby was given the lead role, his character might have been made stronger. .Vijay and Manohar’s clash would have been better if they were not just a glance and a few dialogues.
Police, system, law and order: Like the ‘Underworld’ series, the beginning of the film also teaches what and why the police do. This picture is admirable in terms of police lessons.
