A cop or a thug? Hanumant Singh is one of Delhi’s exemplary police officers. Being constantly at the forefront of the attack, every day he risks his life under a hail of bullets. He is never nervous, hesitant, and he doesn’t spend much time making decisions, no matter how important they are. He is not worried about the crisis, he is calm for the future of his children, his pockets are full of money, his hands are elbow-deep with blood.
Because he's not an ordinary policeman, but a werewolf in errands with a high-ranking government official, Rajmani Singh Yadav. You can say that he is his staff killer, chain dog, the algorithm of his actions is simple: received the task, get to work, call when I am finished.
And for money, he can do anything, because he cares about his family, because it is his personal and career choice, because he is 100% sure that he does everything the way he should, without bothering about the explanations and validity of his actions to anyone, to journalists or to the authorities.
In his work, he is not afraid to be called rude or arrogant, cynically shooting criminal elements on the spot does not bother to read them their rights. “Couldn’t you just arrest them?” “Yes, you could, no question, but here’s the trouble, the handcuffs forgot” – that’s how, with an admixture of black humor, our hero allows himself to joke. He has his own guard, a close-knit team of several people, connected by many years of experience of working together, entangled in mutual responsibility and common illegal business. At any moment, at any time of day or night, like obedient sheep on the orders of the chief, they are ready to clearly and confidently execute any commands of their commander-in-chief.
And rest assured that all means will be used to achieve their goals.
In general, this film reminds me of a suburban train, the further it goes, the fewer passengers.
If anyone remembers the domestic thrash about the dashing 90s Blunts, there is about the same situation. The difference is that these are the Indian dashing 2010s.
The film is called "The Apprentice," a young boy named Mohit has been transferred to Hanumant Singh's department and is ready to learn.
This is another association.
, only with another picture, which probably many have seen and know, it is called “Training day”.
But “The Apprentice” is not a remake of the famous action movie with Denzel Washington.
The cross-cutting theme of both films is certainly corruption, both in law enforcement agencies and in state bodies.
The film is about people exposed to power, living a double life in a country beyond the mirror, lost human features, a film where the system turns a person into nothing in this stone jungle, and a person in the struggle for survival and a place under the sun turns into a killing machine, where family and friendships play absolutely no role, where no one knows what humanity, honor and duty is an empty sound. Where the notorious roots on which a person rests and stands on the earth begin to suck all the juices not from the earth, but from yourself, turning a living person into a living dead person.
