    THE CLASS OF ’83 :THE PUNISHERS OF MUMBAI POLICE

    By- Hussain Zaidi

    The class of ’83 is a very well written book by Hussain Zaidi. The book is set in the
    1980’s Bombay Underworld Mafia’s reign , At a time when Mumbai was plagued by
    underworld gangsters like Dawood Ibrahim, Iqbal Kaskar and Chhota Rajan, Arun
    Gawli. Though years have passed since his stints at newspapers where he unearthed
    stories about Mumbai's most feared gangsters at a time when the underworld had the
    city in its grip, Zaidi’s storytelling skills have endured; he gives detailed
    characterisations and profiles, along with vivid imagery of the city in the time period the
    book is set in. This book romanticizes about crime, villains portrayed as anti-heros, as a
    result of which readers actually sympathise with the mafias irrespective of the heinous
    nature of their crimes. This was no to glorify any particular gang or gangster, but for the
    reader’s digest. the batch of 1983 from the Police Training School (PTC) in Nashik-
    trained by the legendary Arvind Inamdar and pradeep sharma produced a group of
    prominent encounter specialists who have been credited with bringing back the rule of
    law in the city.

    This book was made into an original motion picture, which was released on Netflix on
    21 august 2020. The movie’s lead actor Bobby Deol screened as vijay singh (fictional
    character of pradeep Sharma). Inspired from real accounts of the city’s first encounter
    specialists, the film depicts how the officers shrewdly planned and executed hits while
    staying within the system and following all necessary protocol. But then it quickly slips
    into a predictable rise-and-fall-and-rise narrative with egos and corruption breaking up
    the friends, and a last-ditch shot at redemption triggered by their mentor .

    The cinematography of “The class of ‘83” is perfect , the dialogues and monologues
    delivered are powerful and leave an impact, the scenes show the actual terror of
    gangsters and the rise of police officers from desperation to fearlessness. The lighting
    of the movie is warm and moody to strike the atmosphere of Bombay in the 80’s.

    “The premise of 'Class of 83' is undoubtedly an interesting one and the film does a
    commendable job of recreating the early 80s era –completely imbibing the look and feel
    of that time.” Said the times now review group.

    Overall this book and movie is something worth reading and watching to know more
    about the true heroes of our nation.
