Review of Aligarh

Aligarh (2015)
6/10
Aligarh - A foul play damages it all.
29 February 2016
To begin with, Aligarh was released on 26 Feb in India. I get to watch the movie 3 days later. From the trailer it seemed to me the movie where the victim gains justice. Thus the thought of people protesting against the movie (AU), seemed a tough debate, if logic and wise were considered over religion. I however wondered and was against such title… of course till I saw the end of the movie... where I do consider involvement of foul play.

Given the circumstances of victim who is unaware of what's going on in world… the movie seemed sincere. The cast of Manoj Bajpayee does justice to the main characters role, justifying above statement. However his Marathi did made me chuckle. I would say it as movie not meant for everybody, especially if you are an orthodox in nature.

The poetry part where the victim conveys, the poetry is meant for the readers to take out meaning from is simply great. The English poems which were taught to me till I cleared my first board were too difficult. Even reference guides dint help much. If I can go back and tell my teacher's one thing with that regards, it would be the first line of this paragraph and inclusion of simple language.

Yeah I will always stand with the weak, especially if they are right!
