DIRTY POLITICS is as it say, dirty politics! I had not really heard of this film though it keeps popping up on YouTube watch lists. Today I decided to give it a go, half expecting to switch it off in boredom. Was I surprised!
To begin with the cast was interesting : Om Puri, Anupam Kher, Rajpal Yadav, Naseeruddin Shah, Jackie Shroff - all known for their stellar performances ... and they certainly did not disappoint. Okay okay there was Mallika Sherawat and Atul Kulkarni too. Mallika was actually pretty good as Anokhi Devi. Atul Kulkarni was more of a hamming act and rather disappointing. Ditto for whoever played his brother. The person who played Dayal was good.
The plot certainly held the interest throughout, drawing heavily from the world of what else but "dirty politics" - and very believable too.
The ending was unexpected and actually this under rated movie was more interesting than several recent one's with "critical acclaim". Just goes to show .....
In summary, this is a very watchable movie. Much better than what it seems to be.
