Laudable! And, there was no need for that item song and romance! But, welcome to Bollywood! BOTTOM LINE: Fresh writing garnished by stale ingredients, that is what Satyagraha is. Mostly, towards the end it again takes an authentic turn when they show how the repercussions of a people's revolution can turn out to be. Score is below average, editing is fine & the whole setup - gives a natural appeal. Now, come on! But the protagonists have done well, too. Cast performance is very good & I don't need to mention who did well.
Yes, it does tell a tale worth watching with average dialogs, simple setup, but the punch-power withdraws as the 150- minute screenplay advances to ultimate predictability. But come second half, and your enthusiasm will see a drastic decline due to the usual, "borrowed" elements from his previous films and/or other potboilers. Talking about the revolution by the people of a district against the corrupt government, Prakash Jha has tried to do what he does best: RESEARCH & SHOW! The first half is brutally original & I appreciate that. But the plot has been seen in many Bollywood political thrillers were everything is predictable. The theme mirrors the current political state in India.
