What an interesting if offbeat movie! Paan Singh Tomar is a dreaded wanted criminal. His antecedents have nothing
to do with the same. Here is an erstwhile regular family man who used to be a
faithful soldier of the Indian republic and a champion long distance runner, who
comes back from war to find that there is a serious land dispute involving his
property. The hapless man heads off to the police – and finds them utterly
unwelcoming and dismissive of his many sporting exploits. Thus starts a
transition from a champion middle distance runner to dacoit – and ruling the
Chambals thereafter. But does Paan Singh Tomar eventually escape a highly
warped and unfair police system? Watch
this movie, with a sterling performance by the
protagonist (Irfaan Khan), to find out.
