The film is based on the true story of a gang war between two powerful rival groups of Satbir Gurjar and Mahender fauji, which finished only when a police cop Pritam Singh arrived at the scenario.
The film starts with a sequence in which a train is being successfully robbed by a gang of robbers led by Fauji . Arshad Warsi as the cruel , heartless wanted criminal for whom killing people is easier than breathing, is the life and soul of the film. His character with the Aviators , gamcha and kohl rimmed eye looks like a real gangster.
Vivek Oberoi as the guy who returns to his zila after completing his education is above average.Though his love angle with 2-3 songs ,slows the speed of the film and could have been edited.
Sanjay Dutt's introduction is done with the dialogue ' jitne criminals ke against case nahi hai utni uske against enquiries chal rahi hai ' . He makes his appearance near interval and has some good dialogues .He is shown as a ruthless inspector who believes in planning and scheming to beat the criminals . He listens to Madhuri Dixit's songs and dances with item girls when he is in mood .
After witnessing Paresh Rawal's excellent acting in OMG his character in this film disappoints.
Ravi Kishan 's character is not well developed and he is shown totally dependent on Fauji or other politicians .The film is full of actresses like Charmee Kaur , Minissha Lamba , Divya Dutta and Zarina Wahab who have nothing much to do. Then there is Asutosh Rana with just one memorable dialogue 'Hum konsa Salman Khan hai ki commitment karke piche nai hatt sakte.' We also get to see Chandrachur Singh in a 5 min role.

The film is actually not bad but most of it reminds us of scenes we have seen in earlier films like Gardish , Omkara , Dabangg and other 80's films where the hero seeks revenge for the injustice done to him and his family.
In a line this Zila is shown as a land full of bloodshed and a city of injustice where half of the film's budget must have been spent on bullets and bottles of blood ,I mean tomato ketchup .
People who like Arshad Warsi and mindless action can watch it.
Caution- Loud sounds can be injurious to ear drums !
Rank - 9 (Out of the 14 films I have seen in 2013)
Sanjay Dutt tries too hard to do the Chulbul Pandey act but failed miserably... 'Zila Ghaziabad' doesn't offer anything new. Almost all scenes, all punches and all punch lines are seen in some or the other film
