When the trailers of Aakrosh came on charts it says – from the directors of Gardish and Virasat. The intensions were clear; don’t expect another Hera Pheri or De Dana Dan. This time Priyadarshan along with Kumar Mangat Pathak is going to hit the screen with a very serious issue of honor killing. The same was reflected in the very first trailer in which Ajay Devgan (in back ground voice) says – kya hum sach me azaad hue thee.
About the Story – Three college students went missing when they visited a village in Bihar. Its 2 months and government is not able to find them. In Delhi, media and college students asked for a CBI enquiry and a team comprises of Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna is sent to Jhanjhar village to solve the case. After reaching there they realise that it’s not a routine work this time. No one from the villagers or the local police is helping them or talking to them about this. After that, a series of incidents happened in which several people were killed brutally, whole village is burnt, some people were hanged on the trees, some were killed in accidents etc. In the second half, CBI came to know that it’s not a murder case rather it’s on honor killing. In which people of higher cast kill the girl and the boy (who are in love) because they bring dishonor to the family or their community. In the end with the help of Bipasha Basu, they solved the case.
No doubt the subject was strong and for most of the audience who lives in metro, this needs to be addressed. Couples living in metros (who goes to McDonalds, Pizza hut, Cineplex, Disc and outings) should know what happen, when someone living in a small village dares to love. They are not just killed but murdered in such a manner that it will become a lesson for others. Not only the couple but their families also burnt or murdered. Couple of scenes like – the long chase scene, in which Ajay chase a guy on the roof and another one in which Ajay and Akshaye went to arrest roshini for the first time are worth watching. Not to forgot the scene in which Paresh Rawal beats Bipasha brutally by his belt behind the closed doors and in the end when Ajay took revenge and beat Paresh behind the door are delight to watch. The intensity of these scenes is so strong that though you are not able to see it but still from the screaming of the actors and background score you can feel it in your blood. That’s the magic Priyadarshan is able to create. I had a very strong expectation from the movie. The movie is GOOD, but not as I expected. The kind of experience Priyadarshan (director) and Kumar Mangat Pathak (producer) have, I have expecting the unexpected.
Ajay Devgan is perfect in such roles. Though I feel that director didn’t give him much space. Whenever we think that he is going to say a dialogue on which we will die clapping OR he will take the front seat and beat the other guy, Akshaye drew him from there.
Overall, we should watch it at least once. Just to know that life is not as easy as it seems in metros. Especially love is still a very sensitive matter in villages and if you dare to love someone outside your caste – be ready to pay the cost!!!!
It’s not that much brutal that girls or family members can’t watch it. So, you can plan it with anyone you want.
i liked the tagged line -ready to pay the cost ......movie seems to be brutal...but reality due hv a ugly face whether we believe it or not....
