Desi Kattey traces the story of two young boys (about 14-15 years of age), Pali and Gyani (Jay Bhanushali), who make country guns to earn their livelihood. In the process, they become expert shooters and good friends. Neither do they hesitate to shoot at their employer, who snubs them for the way they deal with customers, nor do they hesitate to fire at the local goon, whom they despise for ill-treating Pali's love-at-first-sight Guddi (played by Tia Bajpai).
The movie goes on to show the two becoming the right hand men of a criminal Judge Sahab, who also has the backing of a politician. However, despite their loyalty to the Judge Sahab, they are fraudulently put behind bars in a booth capturing case by another of Judge's men. They are bailed out by Major Sahab (Suniel Shetty), who has been following them all along appreciative of them being expert shooters.
Having been released by the Major, they go to his home, to take training in professional pistol shooting. It is at this juncture that they meet Judge again and are faced with the predicament of going the right way (with Major) or the wrong way (with Judge). The friends part ways - one going along with the Major and the other going with the Judge (who is now a minister) to become his right hand man.
The movie explores the good versus evil angle, however, the ending in the end is very predictable and preachy. The movie puts to test, the friendship between Pali and Gyani on account of their differing ideologies. While it does a fair job, there is always scope for improvement in the script by stretching the "test of friendship" angle further
Also, the reason why the Major is so keen to groom these shooters and goes out of the way in getting permissions is not ably articulated in the movie. Perhaps a dramatization of his background would have helped create that emotional connect better.
Suniel Shetty's character has not been exploited well in the movie. Jay Bhanushali, Akhil Kapur (Pali) do a great job and so does Judge and Ashutosh Rana (playing the politician). The soundtrack of the movie is good, some tracks are soothing. However, the tracks haven't been popularized by FM radio too much to have much of recall.
Two and a half stars to this movie - makes for a one time lazy watch.
