What happens

Shotru (Bengali: শত্রু ; English: Enemy) is a 2011 Indian Bengali-language action crime film co-written and directed by Raj Chakraborty. Produced by Ashok Dhanuka under the banner of Eskay Movies. It stars Jeet, Supriyo Dutta and Nusrat Jahan in lead roles, while Kharaj Mukherjee, Dipankar De, Biswajit Chakraborty, Saayoni Ghosh, Raja Dutta and Biplab Chatterjee played other pivotal roles. It marks the debut of Nusrat Jahan. The soundtrack and background score was composed by Indraadip Dasgupta, with screenplay and dialogues written by Padmanabha Dasgupta and Abhimanyu Mukherjee. Clashing with Dev and Koel Mallick starrer Paglu, it was an all time blockbuster at the box office, with a successful run of over 210 days in theatres. It received positive reviews from critics. Critics appreciated the social messages and portrayals with Jeet and Dutta's performance and stylized action sequences which plays a very pivotal role in this film. Shotru marks the second collaboration between Jeet and Raj Chakraborty. Jeet's memorable dialogue in the film, "Ami kono ishwarnoi je chhere debo aar rakshasnoi je mere debo, ami holam police, saala chhara aar marar majhkhane lotke rekhe debo" ("Neither am I the god who will forgive you, nor the monster who will kill you; I am the police, and I will hang you, scoundrel, for forgiving or killing"), has become a firm favourite with audiences. It was later dubbed into Hindi as Ek Policewale Ki Taaqat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
