He comes in contact with Sub-Inspector Gokhale (Om Puri), who feels sorry for him, and not only offers to find his brother, but also employment at an Irani Restaurant. Bhaskar does find his brother – in the morgue – but decides not to tell his mother as this may break her heart. He decides to stay on in Bombay and undergoes training to become a police officer. A short time later he is also a Sub-Inspector working closely with Gokhale.

Kagaar: Life on the Edge Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Nagetive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.0 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 45.
N.Chandra captured the imagination of cinegoers and critics in 1986 with his path-breaking movie-Ankush. He finished the trilogy with Pratighaat and Tezaab in 1987 and 1988 respectively.This was undoubtedly one of the best trilogies ever made in Hindi cinema.After that however he never managed to re-create the magic he did in these movies.
Although with Style he managed to get the elusive hit he wanted but I guess its Kagaar which finally brings the best out of the man. Bhaskar(Amitabh Dayal) is an ace shooter of the Bombay crime branch.He gets information about the underworld kingpin Adi(Anoop Soni) on the New Year?s eve.
He teams up with his junior to catch the dreaded criminal dead or alive.On the way to the dock where Adi is expected Bhaskar tells his junior his story and his relationship with Adi.Bhaskar and Adi were childhood friends who stayed in a village and grew up together.Bhaskar?s elder brother had gone to Bombay few years back but never returned.He convinces his mother to let him go to the big bad city and find out about him.On reaching the city Bhaskar meets a respected sub-inspector(Om Puri).
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1.5 star out of 5 Star.
