The film based on true rumous was a blockbuster and changed the direction of Vivek's career. It had stellar performances by Vivek Oberoi, Rohit Roy, Shabbir Ahuwalia (newcomer), Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty and Arbaaz Khan.
At the beginning of the film, it started very slowly but then eventually became faster. Abhishek does a special appearance in the film and dies within 2 minutes.You can say this is a men's film as it hardly concentrates on women - neha dhupia, aarti chabbaria, dia mirza, amrita singh and rakhi sawant.
The climax makes your heart beat.Shabbir gives a good performance as the gangster who is haunted by ghosts. Rohit Roy is natural and known as 'Phatu'. Tushhar Kapoor tries to look hard core but ends up scaring nobody. The entire film belonged to Vivek, he hit the mark this time which has got him offers from even Karan Johar.
Music of the film is by Anand Raaj Anand. 'Unke Nashe Mein' has been acclaimed for it's lyrics. 'Mere Yaar' got no attention. 'Ganpat' was one of the best songs of the year sung by Mika and Aanchal. 'Aakhri Alvida' is a soothing song which makes you go through all the moments of the film. On the whole Shootout at Lokhandwala is what we call action and entertainment.
