Watch Special 26

Special 26 is a thrilling Bollywood heist movie released in 2013, directed by Neeraj Pandey and starring Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, and Manoj Bajpayee. Set in the 1980s in India, the movie is inspired by real-life events that took place in the country. The plot revolves around a group of con artists who pretend to be CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) officers and conduct fake raids all over the country. They manage to swindle a large number of people with their confidence and charm. The leader of the group is played by Akshay Kumar, who goes by the name of Ajay Singh. He is joined by P.K. Sharma (Anupam Kher), Joginder (Rajesh Sharma), and Iqbal (Kishore Kadam).

Their modus operandi involves selecting high-profile targets such as businessmen and politicians and conducting 'raids' on their premises. The team takes on the persona of CBI officers, complete with ID cards, uniforms, and a fake warrant. They manage to convince their victims that they are conducting an investigation for tax evasion, and seize a large amount of cash and jewelry from the victim's property.

The film takes an interesting turn when the real CBI gets on the trail of the fake officers. The CBI Officer Waseem Khan (Manoj Bajpayee), aided by Shanti (Divya Dutta) and Ranveer (Kajal Aggarwal), begins an investigation into the matter. Special 26 reveals the cat and mouse chase that follows, between the CBI and the fake officers.

The performances in the movie are superb, with Akshay Kumar at the forefront. Even though he plays a criminal, he does it with style, grace, and an underlying sense of morality. It's the sort of character you want to root for because you know he's keeping his honour despite his dishonesty. Anupam Kher, too, is brilliant as always, with his wisecracks and perfect timing. Manoj Bajpayee is convincing as the CBI officer in pursuit, and Kajal Aggarwal lights up the screen with her performance as Ajay's love interest.

The cinematography of the movie is impeccable, with director Neeraj Pandey capturing the locations magnificently. In addition, the retro music and the background score by M.M. Kreem add to the film's authenticity, taking the audience back to the '80s.

Special 26 is a well-crafted heist movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Not only does it offer a great level of entertainment, but it also has relevance in today's world. The movie highlights the fact that people are willing to trust an individual in uniform, without questioning their authority, and this trust can often be misused.

Special 26 is a must-watch for anyone who loves thrillers, heist movies, or great acting. It's gripping, entertaining, and will keep you guessing until the very end, making it one of the most memorable Bollywood movies of the decade. It's the sort of movie that will leave you thoroughly entertained and satisfied by the end.
