Review of Aarakshan

Aarakshan (2011)
6/10
Explores the educational system instead of Aarakshan(reservation)
31 August 2011
I expected a well researched movie about the Aarakshan from Mr Prakash Jha after Raajneeti but it's not about reservation as story was lost in the very first 30 minutes and never found again.

It digs into the decayed foundation of educational system. How the coaching system has affected, commercialized and immersed in India.

Amitabh Bacchan gives a powerhouse performance, his on screen presence is enigmatic and dialog delivery is Eminent. Saif Ali Khan is good but not convincing as a dalit with muscular body. Deepika padukone has done a nice job. Prateik Babbar has guts to be a good actor in near future.

Manoj Bajpai is fabulous as rival and greedy human being but his role has gone too far as a villain. Rest of the cast has done fantastic job.

Prakash Jha chose very sensitive issue but could not elaborate it, despite all the controversy this movie is not going to be big hit.
