Whatever issues you may have with movies that subtly promote vigilante justice (and sure enough I have many), when was the last time you saw a cat and mouse chase in Bollywood, between a cop in the control room, and an offender, who’s out and about, issuing instructions over the phone, while holding a helpless police officer to ransom?

Think A Wednesday! (2008). Which starred Anupam Kher as the cop, and Naseeruddin Shah as the rogue at the other end, seeking a strange sort of justice in a vigilante thriller. There’s no question of comparing Kher and Shah to other actors, let alone each other.
