Review of Aarakshan (2011) by Shruti B — 15 Aug 2011
One confused movie. As the movie began it took me a while to figure what was going on. And when it did start making sense as to what it was about(arakshan-reservation) it turned into something else ( war against coaching classes/parallel education). The movie is just as flawed as our education system. In bits and pieces it makes sense, but the whole picture is hazy. A good story, plot and editing could have saved the movie ( that's a lot to cover up).
Performances- AB and Bajpai are good. Saif with all his looks and charm is difficult to imagine as SC/ST. Others are ok.
You aren't missing much if you've not seen it.
