PLOT: Zulfiqar Ahmed (Prosenjit Chatterjee), who happens to be a Robin Hood like figure and the most prominent member of The Syndicate - a powerful organization which oversees most of the happenings in the heart of the city. Basheer Khan (Kaushik Sen), a member of The Syndicate is a nationalist, a gangster and the best friend of Zulfiqar, who does not support terrorism.Kashinath Kundu (Jisshu Sengupta) is the wily and scheaming guy of The Syndicate, who have an ambition for power.

Now,Zulfiqar's nephew Akhar(Ankush),Tony & Marcuz are on a mission to take revenge.Corrupt police officer Laltu Das(Rahul Banerjee) is also by there side.

Rest of the movie is all about revenge tale.

PERFORMANCES: Prosenjit is good as usual.Jisshu & Kaushik Sen did a fabulous job.Rahul Banerjee is good.Dev is better than his typical tollywoody acting.Ankush is okay.Param & Paoli are total wasted. Nusrat is very hot.

MUSIC: composed by Anupam Roy and its not upto the mark category."Ek Purono Masjide" & "Ami Aajkal Bhalo Achi" are better than the other songs.

The film could have told a good story of brotherhood, hatred, love, friendship, betrayal and rise and fall of the members of Syndicate but somehow, the fake accents, the inclusion of love songs and the melodrama spoils most of the film.

Overall,Zulfiqar is mediocre film & its not in a worth watching category.
