Satyagraha - Worth A Watch specially for AB Senior :)

Not sure why I had thought the presence of songs would dilute the seriousness of the subject of the movie and I am glad my thoughts were proved wrong. Scams and corruption unfortunately have become a part of our lives, a harsh reality which we deal with on a regular basis and the movie showcases this problem/disease extremely well. We are so tempted to always take the short cut route that altogether we miss out on the big picture and get totally absorbed in our shelved lives without realizing much about the repercussions that each of our steps would have in this society. Prakash Jha's last release though a well made movie had got the plot mishmash post interval and was happy he did not do the same with this movie. Of course the plot is inspired from the movement of Anna Hazare there is no denial to that absolutely. Amitabh Bacchan - there never will be another one like him, he is definitely is India's pride. The scene when he breaks down when he realizes his son was killed surely going to turn your eyes moist.. Ajay Devgan - Give this guy an intense role and he will never disappoint, yes he does a good job...great to see him in this kind of role instead of disaster like 'Himmatwala' Kareena Kapoor Khan - Post 'Talaash' this is another good performance from her and as always she looks fab. Arjun Rampal - Ya he looks yes he can emote/act but for this particular role he didn't quite fit and his accent was too metro sexual , no I am not complaining I like him in anyway and always will watch his movies Manoj Bajpayee- Wow what an awesome portrayal of vicious and sadistic character core, flaunting the evil streak to the optimum. Here's another power-packed performance by this splendid actor. Amrita Rao - Something very likeable about her,an absolute pleasure to watch. All the other character actors too have done a great job be it Indraneil Sengupta, Vipin Sharma , Manoj Kolhatkar, Shireesh Sharma, Ajay Trehan or Girish Sahdev. This one is a thought provoking movie and absolutely recommended. All in all August 2013 had good Hindi movie releases except for Once upon a time in Mumbai dobara yes this was the worst Hindi movie I have watched in the recent times... Please do watch 'Satyagraha' for a story well told, for great performances and of course of course for Amitabh Bachhan :)
