    Gangster movies - this genre has been done to death. Films like PARINDA [Vidhu Vinod Chopra] and SATYA [Ramgopal Varma] stand tall on this list. But, of late, the genre has taken a backseat since people aren't too keen on watching bloodshed and the same old saga of an innocent taking to the world of crime. BAABARR belongs to the same genre, yet is an exception. It shows how people, even kids, live by the gun and die by the gun.

    Every once in a while, you find yourself surprised by a movie. Baabarr is such an experience, at least till mid-point. It's authentic, true to its milieu, a dark, gritty, violent view of lawless middle India. When a policeman investigating a crime asks 12-year-old Baabarr his name, the child looks him in the eye and says, 'What's yours?' He's street-smart and seething at all too young an age. We are never sure what makes him so angry and violent

    In the badlands of Uttar Pradesh, death often comes cheap. Just like the kattas (locally-made guns) manufactured and sold in the mean bylanes of hundreds of qasbahs across the state. It's a recession-proof cottage industry. In the badlands of Uttar Pradesh, death can also come for the flimsiest of reasons. Even a row over a gilli-danda game can spiral into a murder as it happens for Baabarr Qureshi. And the event can just be a great career move in extortion and contract killings.

    The gangster-don is seen chilling at his home. The final sequence of Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya, where the police is pounding upon the protagonist, plays out on the television screen. The wife in the living room can’t stop sobbing and worrying for her husband’s fate. The husband, it turns out, looks a bit like Bhikhu Mhatre himself. Just a few scenes before, this hero had survived a bullet pumped into his forehead, with the gun at kissing length from his skull.

    When a film is titled Baabarr, it sure spells strange. This one also spells non-stop violence, bullets, shooting, criminals, killing, guns, bullets, cops and yet more bloody violence. Set in the small town of Amanganj, Baabarr is a story culled from the volatile mix of poverty, corruption and crime that pervades much of Uttar Pradesh. Baabarr Qureshi is the youngest of a bunch of five thug brothers, headed by Shakti Kapoor. Baabarr learns young

    It's all about murder, mayhem and everything in between in India's largest state. Baabarr (Sohum) is the youngest of a family of butchers. Pretty lawless as they go, he finds it simpler to wield a gun than a pen, and follows his brothers into crime. In time, he supersedes them all in number of kills. But he's kind of a wild thing, one that shoots first and asks questions later. Soon enough, encounter specialist (now the SP) Dwivedi (Mithun) comes to threaten him with dire consequences.
