Salute for BC Patil...!: Review

Police story films have been seen by us long-long ago, each time such films comes with same theme, without anything else. Added to such category is BC Patel’s ‘Salute’. But for a change, he has taken his own life story for this movie.
An sincere Assistant Commissioner of Police, who fights against politics, which restricts him to do so, one day he enters politics and continuous his fight towards it. Meantime we can see lady police officer, who falls in love with ACP, brother-sister sentiment….Yes you should know what are the problems such person will face to achieve his goal. Blending of such situations, love, songs, etc., etc., is ‘Salute’.
You shouldn’t get tense about the story because the story had been said long back. This can be said as that BC Patil is a one army man, who provided, story, script, acted, produced, directed…. So hence no chances for new talents. Coming to casting BC Patil as known has done his work neatly; Ashwini tried to reach Malashri’s level, but not reached, comedy by Dingri Nagaraj, and leading actors are not bad, music is average in three songs, dialogues, editing, camerawork, fighting are not so good.
‘Salute’ is for those, who haven’t seen police story films in past, if you have not please….
