Plot Summary
Garv
'Garv' is no different than any other cop stories which we have witnessed recently. The movie revolves around cops and underworld dons. There is nothing new in the subject, it's old wine in new bottle. The points in favor of the garv are its power packed dialogues and Salman khan. Director Puneet Issar makes an impressive debut as a storyteller. He has drawn competent performances from the cast and has handled the dramatic sequences with flourish.
Garv revolves around the life and times of officers in the Mumbai Police Force, spearheaded by Samar Singh (Amrish Puri), Arjun Ranawat (Salman Khan) and Hyder Ali (Arbaaz Khan). In a city where corruption has become the order of the day and garv a thing of the past, Arjun and Hyder, under the spirited guidance of Samar Singh, take up cudgels against the underworld (Mukesh Rishi), thus eliminating several 'Wanted' criminals.
The powerful people connected with the underworld don (Govind Namdeo, Anant Jog, Shivaji Satam) panic and plan out garv strategies to counter Samar Singh, Arjun and Hyder. Samar Singh gets his transfer papers, Hyder is eliminated and subsequently, the underworld-politician nexus targets garv Arjun's mother (Farida Jalal) and sister Rakhi (Akanksha). Arjun is compelled to take law in his hands.
The film garv begins on an exciting note, the corrupt politicians and their shrewd games are exposed, the underworld don and his evil plans come to fore, the encounters take place. It gives the viewer no time to feel restless. But the post-interval portions suffer from the scripting point of view. The forced romantic track and the reasons that compel Arjun to go on a rampage in the end glaringly stand out like a garv sore thumb.
