Ab Tak Chappan

Films have forever portrayed law enforcement officers in India through a one-dimensional lens. They’ve either been portrayed as government servants who relentlessly serve and go beyond the call of duty or those who’ve let their morals slide in exchange for commercial gains. But Shimit Amin’s 2004 film Ab tak Chhappan is one that depicts the precarious position that encounter cops find themselves in while navigating a system that merely considers them as pawns in a game of chess. And this sharp action drama is our Lost and Found for today.
