Synopsis:Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing “the people’s dirty work” and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts to unravel. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man?

The Times Of India | Nikhat Kazmi

Director Lalit Marathe has categorically denied that the film is inspired by a real-life character, so that makes SHABRI a work of fiction. Hard-hitting and laced with several nail-biting episodes, SHABRI manages to keep your attention alive intermittently. But the film loses its fizz in the second hour, when a top cop [Zakir Hussain] starts the investigations. The problem with his character is that he’s not doing anything to put an end to Shabri or the underworld. Moreover, the pacing also drops at this point.
