Synopsis
Khakee (2004) is an Indian action thriller directed by Rajkumar Santoshi — watch it online on iFILM. The setup is one sentence: a small police escort ordered to move accused terrorist Iqbal Ansari from Chandangarh to Mumbai without losing him.
DCP Anant Shrivastav — "the Professor," played by Amitabh Bachchan near retirement and doing the heavy lifting in every scene — leads the convoy. Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan are positioned around the mission from different angles, and their loyalties take time to fully land. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Lara Dutta fill out supporting threads that keep raising the human cost of the job.
At three hours, Santoshi earns the runtime: the first act reads as procedural, the second starts pulling threads, and the third reframes the whole film. A Bollywood crime thriller that trusts its audience with a genuinely complicated plot. Stream Khakee (2004) online on iFILM.
