https://www.bollywoodlatestforu.com/2019/05/setters-movie-box-offic

Hidden in obscurity on Zee5 Cinemas is this beautiful Gem of a movie called Setters. It took me about 15 - 20 minutes of Casual surfing on Zee5 Cinemas to finally get to this movie. The trailer was impressive & I decided to treat myself to a weekend watch of this movie

The Plot
This movie is based on the Big Nexus of Paper Leaking racket that spreads across the country for examinations like Banking, Railways, Engineering. The Kingpin of this Nexus is Varanasi based Henchman, Bhaiya Jee (Pawan Malhotra) & his trusted aide, Shreyas Talpade. Its a very well oiled network including a perfect last mile delivery mechanism for ensuring the papers are leaked to the students just 2 hours before the exams. Shreyas uses his trusted team of people to do this job for him including Photographers to create fake IDs, Coaching institute owners to get the vulnerable candidates who will pay the big money to buy papers, a trained craftsmen to fool the biometric & create fake admit cards

There is pressure on administration to cut this menace to size & enters SP Aditya Singh, Aftab shivdasani to put an end to this mafia. To make matters worse, there is also a personal history between Aftab & Shreyas, both of whom belong to Varanasi & were good friends at one point who were preparing for the State Civil exams & also had a common love interest. In a Twiste of fate, Aftab shivadasani walks away with the girl & the coveted State Police Top job, whereas Shreyas moves fast on the other side of the law. Hence begins a Cat & Mouse chase between Aftab & Shreyas. There are some very slick & smart sequences in the film where Shreays seems to get the better of Aftab on most occasions
The plot of the film is pacy, with some interesting twists & turns

Cast

The film boasts of an eclectic star cast who have some interesting roles

Pawn Malhotra plays the Tough Don Bhaijee, who controls the Paper Leaking Mafia. Malhotra plays the role of his lifetime & does ample justice to his abundant talent with a meaty power backed role'

Aftab Shivadasani, is back after a big hiatus. He delivers a fine performance  with great screen presence & a very restrained & controlled performance

Shreya Talpade, has the Author backed role in the movie & the key protagonist. One wonders why Talpade doesn't get enough roles to showcase his variety

Clearly, Pawan Malhitra & Shreyas Talpade not getting & doing meaningful roles in Hindi Cinema is a loss to Bollywood more than anything else

Jameel Khan, Vijay Raaz & Rishi Manu, do an exemplary job in their limited role & hold the audience attention well to their respective parts

A very well made movie but lack of marketing & promotions, made this little gem lying in obscurity lose its due. Do watch on Zee5 Cinemas
