Story: The story of Maximum goes back to 2003, where the local police had declared a war against the underworld. Two brave officers Pratap Pandit (Sonu Sood) and Arun Inaamdar (Naseeruddin Shah) have been given the responsibility to root out the wrong-doers. The story is majorly based on the two cops, one journey and a struggle for 'maximum' power. But they are not alone in this game, there are other players as well. The conspirators moving at every level. Taking the dream through layers of emotions and betrayals to an unpredictable climax. While Pandit (Sonu Sood) is ambitious, Inaamdar (Naseeruddin) is shown conniving and silent.
Maximum lacks the vivid detailing and the plot badly lacks meat. The film is based on two Mumbai encounter cops, who are locked in a bitter and eventually self-defeating turf war. But, to one's surprise there isn't much dramatic conflict between the duo. What's more disappointing is that the film at times leaves you clueless as in what's actually going on.
Performance: Talking about the performances, Sonu Sood is an encounter cop of few words and many bullets. He's the blue-eyed boy of the Establishment. A man with all the greys and all the power. Sonu has an impressive screen presence, but fails to prove himself due to weak plot. Naseeruddin in his element is an experience that needs no definition. Naseer is just dynamic . No wonder Shah just steals the show with his power pack performance.
