Satyagraha (2013)
The sad story of the Indian political-public scenario
The politics of the politicians on which the country runs is the crux of the movie. Mix it with the regulars corruption, employment, poverty etc and add to it a tinge of uprising, peaceful revolt and end it with violence, sabotage,guilt. Look around happens everyday, if just the soul of the movie is seen it hits the mark, but coz its prakash jha, it goes a little overboard. The movie sets a sad tone, a hard look at the facts of society today. Amitabh Bachchan: His presence is enough. Brilliant. Ajay Devgn: from a himmatwala to a satayagraha the man is the most versatile actor Hindi cinema has seen in recent times. Excellent. Kareena, Arjun Rampal, Amrita Rao and Manoj Bajpayee all of them tgthr bind the movie really well, all in important but not lengthy roles. Overall not for those who are into senseless nonsense Bollywood doles out neither for the serious ones, it is for those who enjoy a good movie and know it is a movie! Can be definitely seen once. Special Mention to Prasoon Joshi for the brilliant lyrics of "Raghupati Raghav"
D-Day (2013)
A different perspective on a topic/person wherein lies a lot of unanswered questions.
It has a story revolving around a man who-need-not-be-named, apart from the trying to capture him and bring him back angle, all aspects have been earlier seen and re-seen. The movie is patriotic, to the core and the Director has done absolute justice in putting it across. Sometimes it falters, stretches, falls on its back but gets up with gusto. The story is simple, the struggle between personal and professional commitments is captured well. It has an idealistic perspective, a different point of view, good concept and well treated. Rishi kapoor outstanding, arjun rampal and irfan khan brilliant. Plus it was nice to see ellisbridge, 3darwaja and a lot of other familiar places from Ahmedabad on silver screen!!
