- Quotes
[DCP Kishore Kadam at Nariman Point. Rohit and Munna come to meet him]
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Hello Mr. DCP.
DCP Kishore Kadam: [sarcastically then after a brief pause] Mr. DCP... ? If DCP Kishore Kadam wished to see you, he'd call you to the police station. Your father's friend wants to talk to you. You didn't do a nice thing by killing MLA Madhukar Dixit.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): I'm told the assassins haven't been caught yet.
DCP Kishore Kadam: One is right here, before me. Munna, the orphan. The second is the handsome one and the baldie who's standing by your car.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): So arrest them.
DCP Kishore Kadam: I can't.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Why not?
DCP Kishore Kadam: You know why I can't.
Munna: Did you call us here to enjoy the cool breeze from the sea?
DCP Kishore Kadam: If I could help it, I'd shoot you and toss you into this very sea.
Munna: And I'd invite you to kill me.
DCP Kishore Kadam: [In an angry but soft tone] Hey! Watch your tongue.
Munna: Or else?
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Hey! Munna, quiet. Quiet.
DCP Kishore Kadam: Now look Rohit. This path you're walking on will take you only to death.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Which path doesn't lead to death?
DCP Kishore Kadam: Like father, like son. Power brokers like Digamber Patil are loyal to no one. You have his blessings today. The day you don't, you'll die a dog's death.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Ever since I've chosen this path, I've always been prepared to die. If I wish I can have Digamber Patil finished off in an hour. I can topple the Chief Minister Ajit Rao Desai in a single day, if I wish.
DCP Kishore Kadam: You're under an illusion. If we receive the CM's orders, you guys will be in your graves within 24 hours. After ages we have found an honest and upright CM. But dogs like Digamber Patil won't let him work with honesty.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): But he's still in his chair, isn't he?
DCP Kishore Kadam: Yes. Because the day he finds the opportunity, he'll clean out all the filth. You won't find a place to hide in the whole state, even if you look for it.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): Will the scores of Digamber Patils let him occupy the CM's chair till then, Mr. DCP? Today corruption is a part of our lives, DCP, and honest man is a liability.
DCP Kishore Kadam: But, one day honesty will triumph. Honesty will win.
Rohit Raghunath Shivalkar (Boxer Bhai): You're fooling yourself. I must leave now, uncle. Should you ever need me, do send for me. I have contacts up there.

Lyrics by Anand Raj Anand
Performed by Bali Brahmabhatt, Jolly Mukherjee
Following "Vaastav", Hathyar traces the story of slain Raghu's family. Ostracized by society because of Raghu's deeds, his family has a tough time making both ends meet but they manage to live on. Soon Raghu's son Rohit follows his father's footsteps, kicking the 'fracture haddi' gang guys and thrashing and killing all his enemies and those who disobey him, but alas, these "days of glory" may not last long.
Direction is good, all actors have acted well, music is unremarkable, unlike Vaastav that had excellent soundtrack.
Worth a watch. I personally feel the end of the film could've been better, instead of following the same moral of "Crime never pays".
