Aarakshan (2011)
The storyline - Lost and never found
Looks like the poor scriptwriters got confused between what they wanted and what the producer wanted. The name is a complete misnomer. The movie is based on few a few central characters with the topic of reservation forming a backdrop. Definitely a no-no from Prakash Jha's stable.
With a very strong cast the movie lacks a central story line. Although the performances delivered by Amitabh Bachchan and Manoj Bajpayee are outstanding; they fail to hold together the movie as it spins out of control.
The movie fails to delve on the sensitive issue of reservation. It only makes a half hearted attempt to touch upon the pros and cons of reservation.
Considering the star cast and the director, I was expecting a much more sensible movie on this social issue. But at the end I was disappointed watching a half baked commercial movie hopelessly trying to debate a social issue.
