Sunny Deol's Indian Clocks 24 Years
Subhash K Jha looks back at Sunny Deol's Indian, which released in 2001.
Directed by Maharajan, the hit action drama also featured Shilpa Shetty, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Rishi, and Raj Babbar.
Sunny Deol's larger-than-life image as the one-man anti-corruption bureau gets an ostentatiously refurbished stab at the box office in debutant director Maharajan's strife-torn saga of terrorism in high places.
After Gadar, Sunny once again slips into his tailormade role, rendering the part of the idealistic patriotic cop Raj Shekhar Azad with a ferocious fervour that gives him a deified image.
The crusader-cop's role is nothing new to Hindi cinema.
