 INTERFERENCE OF POWER &
POLITICS
In his stint as investigating officer in the Mumbai crime branch, Aamir Khan as ACP
Rathore had to face interference of power & politics many times.

His senior did not allow him to work with one of the police office, Inspector Salim Whom
he did not consider trustworthy. He solved this problem by going out of the way and asking
him personally for his help.

Just before leaving for the final raid in a border are in Rajasthan ,he got his transfer orders
due to political reasons. He solved this problem by taking his senior into confidence .

While dealing with an ISI officer who was officially a diplomat, Aamir Khan as ACP
Rathore got him killed by Naseeruddin Shah as Gulfam Hassan and managed to plant
evidence against him

The movie in totality follows Management By Objectives (MBO) model to overcome

Interference of power & politics.
