Just imagine…
A brave idealistic IAS officer
fighting the corruption that corrodes the very essence of democracy! It seems
almost like, been there & watched that kind of plot! Well I am not talking
about Sunny Deol’s Indian or Ajay Devgan’s Gangajal or Salmaan Khan's Dabaang! This new movie is a maiden
directorial venture of an IAS officer named Y.P.Singh, whose book ‘Carnage by
Angels’ is the main inspiration for the film!
Initially, I could not understand
whether the movie has begun or the movie hall is showing some Devendra
Khandelwal short films like Mumbai ruki nahi, saaf Mumbai or dhumrapan nished! Post
5 min of parade I realised I was about to watch almost a shoddy documentary film
for the next 2 hrs.! Kya yahi saach hai? I couldn’t help but relate to the
title of the film!
Below average performances,
underutilised premise, lack of power packed dialogues, pathetic cinematography
& camera work, intermittent story line & terrible background score
spoil what could have been a bulls eye premise for a successful film, especially
at this point of time, when the focus is on ‘anti-corruption Anna’!
If you want to overlook the flaws
& just go to see an officer’s struggle, go ahead, may be just to be
supportive. With all due respect to Mr. Y.P.Singh’s struggle, however lousily,
the movie does get its point across.
By the end of the movie I was IAS
(I am sorry)! Sorry for the state of both- the Indian system & this film!
