No fuss, just a regular cop doing his job while dealing with his own issues, that's what I like about Aamir Khan in Sarfarosh and Amitabh in Zanjeer, they are probably the most realistic cops in Bollywood
Honestly, most cop roles in Bollywood are pretty silly, all that slow motion walking and flying cars, it's just fantasy, not reality, but Aamir and Amitabh felt like real cops, not superheroes, they were restrained and had a purpose

What about Ajay Devgn in Gangaajal
If you've ever met a cop in real life, you'll know that Mahesh Manjrekar in Wanted is the most realistic one
Shool is a great example, Manoj Bajpai did a fantastic job
Om Puri in Ardh Satya is another great one
Om Puri in Ardh Satya is a classic
Aamir Khan in Talaash was really good
Naseeruddin Shah in Maqbool is worth mentioning
I don't think Allu Arjun would be the best fit for these kinds of roles
I think the most realistic portrayal of a cop is actually Gaitonde in Drishyam
Om Puri in Ardh Satya and Arshad Warsi in Sehar are also up there as two of the best cop roles in Bollywood
