This movie if watched with the right mindset definitely kindles the India spirit and tells us to bring about a change possible within our best abilities and instead of mere discussion lets get into action whenever there's an opportunity available and what better weekend to watch this kind of awe inspiring about nation development movie than the Independence Day weekend.
Yes the movie does explore the reservation system in India for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes and Other Backward Castes but in a very generic way without really running down either sect.But the main focus does not lie there the film actually takes on the education system ,it exposes discriminatory aspects of the system and hypocrisy in private and governmental educational institutes in the country and does a damn good job at that.
Have to give it to Prakash Jha for always coming up with a winner in terms of socially relevant movies be it Damul dealing about bonded laborMrityudand on gender inequity,Gangajal based on a true incident in Bhagalpur,Apharan on the abduction situation in Bihar,Rajneeti dealing with political affairs and yet again he has got a winner in hands with this one (Aarakshan).
It is a fact we believe in equal rights for all and yet, we continue to be a caste-based society.
Performance wise everyone(Amitabh Bacchan,Saif Ali Khan,Tanvi Azmi,Prateik Babbar,Yashpal Sharma,Deepika Padukone,Manoj Bajpai)has managed to give stellar performances but AB Baby rocks and totally stands out seriously his performance deserves a standing ovation and yes he is the best example of age is just a number..Man he seems to be getting better by day I am sure his best is yet to come.Eyes got moist in many a scenes with him.
This one is about grit,determination,love,friendship and most importantly about standing for what you believe and not giving up on it come what may.
Dialogues are brilliant in this movie totally shakes you up and inspires you.
'Be the change you want to see in this world’ is the core message of this movie and trust me they couldn't have conveyed in any better way.
This one is daring,heroic engaging movie which should not be missed.
Don't miss it...
