Satyagraha

Well, what can I say. I thought this would be another Aarakshan, considering that it was another Amitabh Bachchan - Prakash Jha combo. But it failed me miserably, although it started on a very good note, and a powerful story-line of claims and compensations due from Government. Some scenes were very powerful - like AB talking about corruption, AB challenging the Government and refusing to take the compensation, the mother telling how she lost her claim due to the movement, etc. But all in all, the movie seemed to be going in the wrong direction, very much the way Kareena and Ajay kept drifting away from one another in the movie. The hunger strike, the rock band, the riots and the works. The ending seemed to be improperly edited, as if they just wanted to get it done with.
