Aligarh (2015)
10/10
It more than a legal battle or coming out, its more about the self acceptance
2 March 2016
As his character 'Siras' says that the poetry lies in between the words, in the pauses, to me, true moments of 'Aligarh' lies in between the dialogs, in silence. Manoj Bajpayee, take a bow. Every frame of him is a personification of crumbling, vulnerable and fragile lonely personality.

The movie revolves around the legal battle of revocation of suspension, but there is one moment which sums up the character. In the court room, among the legal arguments, Siras goes into sleep, totally disinterested. What a poignant moment, let you guys fight over legality, morality, but tell me where is my fault. And if that is not your discussion point, I am not interested.
