| Nandu did not know what his fathers name was and his mother had died when he was born. He survived nevertheless and by the time he was 9 years old the corrupt world had filled in him, hatred so strong that he lost all feelings of compassion and humanity. With no other ambitions and goal and armed with only a will to survive and give back to the world what it had given him, Nandu took to the world of crime. He killed…his first victim was when he was just 9 years old….The opposition leader Bhushan Purohit hires Nandu for a unique job. He wants Nandu to make an assassination attempt on him while he would be addressing a rally to kick start his election campaign. Bhushan is sure that the attempt would create a sympathy wave so strong that he would tide over the elections to an overwhelming victory. The day of the rally arrives and everything is going according to the plan. Nandu locks his target but before he could fire a bullet rips through the forehead of Bhushan Purohit. Nandu is shocked. To his horror he sees Rocky's car being blown away by a truck which smashes into his car. Police surround the area and almost zeroes in on Nandu who in a daredevil fashion makes his escape into a running train. It is here that Nandu meets Shekhar. Shekhar is very excited as he is returning to his house after 14 years. He had run away as a child due to an incident and it was off late that he pined to go back home when he realized that his grandfather was still waiting for him to come back. He shows him the watch that belonged to his grandfather and which he had taken with him. He tells him about his cousin who was getting married and it would be a family reunion on this happy occasion. The train stops at a station. Nandu is shocked to see that the police have followed the train. They had seen him from the back and the officer looks at him and trains his gun towards him. As he takes the shot Shekhar comes in the way accidentally and is hit…Shekhar dies on the spot…as he falls down his eyes imploringly stare at Nandu…the watch in his hands falls down…the police converge into the apartment and find Nandu missing…The beautiful quaint house set in the midst of greenery is full of celebrations…the occasion is Baisakhi but more than that it is the expected return of Shekhar that has the members of the house in this state of happiness. Shekhar's grandfather, his three bua's, their husbands, the kids of the house, his cousin who is going to get married and Preet all are waiting to see him. Preet is the daughter of Shekhar's grandfather's best friend Arvind who had died in an accident years back and she has grown up in this house. She is full of life and colors, beautiful, buxom, innocent, energetic, and carefree. She also believes that she is the most beautiful girl one could come across.Nandu arrives and the kids assume that he is Shekhar. Emotions take over everyone as they welcome him. Preet is enamored by him from the word go and stares at him as if she is seeing a Greek god. It is an emotional high as Nandu meets Shekhar's grandfather. When he returns his watch to him tears well up in his eyes and he says that time had stopped when Shekhar had run away and now it had began back for him. At this point Nandu realizes that all is not as well as it seemed in the house…there was a lot of hidden pain in what the grandfather had said. His decision to stay here and find out more is cemented. The various family members are introduced and each of them is one of a kind. He strongly connects with the grandfather and the eldest bua whose daughter is going to get married and for the first time starts realizing what family and love of a family is all about. Preet starts wooing him and in his presence feels very conscious and wants him to notice her beauty. Among all this fun and happiness Nandu finds out the problems that the family are faced with and in his own way helps them come out of it. Soon he starts changing his opinion and softening and reacting to emotions…something which he had never felt before. He also starts falling for Preet. The case of Bhushan Purohit's assassination was hotting up and special officer from the CBI, Nandkumar Rane…popularly known as Inspector Rane, is given the responsibility of tracking down the killer. Ins. Rane has his own unique way of functioning and is a huge threat to Nandu. Soon enough Ins. Rane's investigation leads him to Shekhar's village where he meets Nandu. Will Nandu be able to come out of the crisis a winner? Will the family come to know about his truth? What would be the fate of Nandu and Preet's love story? Who was the real killer of Bhushan Purohit? "Ek – The Power of One" is a journey that Nandu undertakes and learns the true meaning of life in an entertaining narrative encompassing various emotions that comprise life. |

funny Nana  |
aaabbbeee |

| It was fun watching Nana Patekar after the grumpy role of Hattrick a while ago. Prety versatile. Bobby Deol is ok - would love to see him as a mortal someday. |

| A by the book actioner. No complaints from me if it's a bang-up Bollywood bad-guy turns good crime flick. The stunt-work was some of the best in any film, and Nana Patekar was suitably hilarious as the randy, womanizing, police inspector. Bobby Deol outshines his big brother in the action-hero department in this film. Great bhangra, too. |
