New Delhi: Prakash Jha is known to dwelve in topical issues in each of his films. From 'Gangaajal' to 'Chakravyuh'- Jha has talked about very serious issues in his films.
His latest offering 'Satyagraha' promises to be a gritty political drama where five individuals come together to protest against a corrupt system thereby starting a revolution of sorts. The film has an impressive line up of actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao playing key roles.
While the trailers of the film lead us to believe that the film is based on Anna Hazare's movement, the makers have insisted that the film isn't and that Bachchan is not essaying Hazare's character.
Jha's films usually are thought provoking and try to find a solution to some pertinent issues prevailing in the Indian society. He also is able to get the best out of his actors in his films and with bevy of stars in 'Satyagraha' one expects the film to be high on content as well as performances.
So does 'Satyagraha' have an original story or is it based on Hazare's movement? Has Jha been able to take out the best performances from his actors? Will this film be a turning point Bachchan and his other co-stars? Shomini Sen of IBNLive.com is inside the theatre to find that out.
