Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007)
Akhilendra Mishra: Tripathi
Quotes
-
Tripathi : [to Aftab Ahmed Khan in the film's opening scene] This is an abject abuse of authority Sir. Which police manual in the world specifies that you can lay siege to a civilian locality and engage in a deadly gunbattle ? Khan and his associates will have to be bought to the books.
-
Tripathi : [Furious at the gangsters coming out of their hideouts to threaten the police officers] When the hell would you morons stop behaving like streetside criminals ? This is exactly what Khan wants, that you people lose your heads and come directly on his radar.
Buwa : [In a raging tone] So what do you expect us to do, sit like eunuchs ? Scream "aiyo bali" with clipped hands ? That scum
[referring to Sanjay Dutt]
Buwa : either threatens my Tanu or his
[Vivek Oberoi's]
Buwa : mother. We ain't just watching and waiting.
Tripathi : Do I need to remind you that Khan has till date shot dead 26 armed operatives like you.
RC : [In a sarcastic tone] 30. We all have together shot 30 dead till date.
Tripathi : [In equivalent sarcasm] If Khan shoots 5 of you, his tally will reach 31. And to exert pressure to drill you out, he has started keeping surveillance on your families.

Shamsher Khan : [Discussing the strategy with Arbaaz Khan after surrounding Lokhandwala complex] We've cordoned off all exit points. All our men are in position. Now we've got to attack in full force.
Tripathi : [Arriving on the scene to attempt rescuing the gangsters after the bribe offer from Vivek Oberoi] Khan, what the hell do you think you're doing ? Which chain of command are you following ?
Shamsher Khan : [Aware of Mishra's intentions] This is my jurisdiction Sir. And this is the methodology I follow.
Tripathi : [Trying to intimidate Sanjay Dutt] But as JCP of the Crime Division, I am your senior officer Khan and all your operations are my overall responsibility. Now get your men out of here so that I can negotiate with those boys. I am certain they'll surrender.
Shamsher Khan : [Infuriated] Boys ? They fired an RPG right at us Sir. They're gonna be dead now.
Tripathi : [In concealed rage] You can't speak to me in this manner Khan. I am warning you for the final time.
Shamsher Khan : [Frustrated] I am not even speaking to you Sir. I am doing my job.
Tripathi : [Trying to walk past Sanjay Dutt only to be stopped physically] This is insubordination Khan.
[Furiously]
Tripathi : How dare you ?
Shamsher Khan : [Using the police communicator to link up with Aftab Ahmed Khan] Sir, JCP Tripathi is interfering in my task.
Krishnamurthy : [His angry voice heard on the receiver] Hand this phone to Tripathi, I want to speak to him.
Tripathi : [after Dutt hands him the communicator] Tripathi on the line.
[Camera shifts to Aftab Ahmed Khan's office]
Krishnamurthy : [Scolding Mishra] Tripathi, on whose orders have you gone over there ?
Tripathi : Sir ?
Krishnamurthy : [In rage] On whose orders Tripathi ?
Tripathi : [Knowing his game's up] Sir, so what would be the instructions for me ?
Krishnamurthy : [Combined sarcastic and angry] Simple. I've handed Khan with complete authority over this task. You better stop interfering in others' work and come back here immediately.
[Akhilendra Mishra leaves the shootout sight in disgrace]
