Naajayaz 1995 |verified|

Naajayaz is not a great film, but it is a fascinating one. It sits uneasily between a commercial potboiler and an art-house tragedy. Ajay Devgn and Naseeruddin Shah’s volatile chemistry carries the picture over its narrative holes. If you want non-stop action, look elsewhere. If you want a brooding father-son tragedy with excellent music and solid acting—despite its 90s absurdities— Naajayaz is worth revisiting.

At its heart, Naajayaz is a quintessential gangster drama, but with a twist of Greek tragedy. The film stars as Jay Bakshi , a tough, no-nonsense Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP). Jay is honest, fearless, and hell-bent on cleaning the streets of Mumbai’s underworld. naajayaz 1995
