Aarakshan 2011 Movie Review

Aarakshan Movie Review: A lot has already been said and heard about Aarakshan, thanks to the number of controversies it had to combat to hit the screens. So, when the movie opens with Saif Ali Khan being ridiculed for hailing from a lower caste in a college interview, Prakash Jha hits the nail in its head without wasting anytime. However, as the movie proceeds, the roller coaster drama takes a preachy turn, and a few speed breakers disappoint.









Aarakshan is the story of Prabhakar Anand [Amitabh Bachchan], principle of a private college in Bhopal since past 30 years, who swears by his ethics and fights for them all through the movie. Other characters in the movie include Tanvi Azmi his doting wife, his daughter Poorbi [Deepika], who is also the love interest of his dear and obedient disciple Deepak Kumar [Saif Ali Khan] and Sushant [Prateik Babbar] Poorbi and Deepak’s friend.



Talk about characters and it won’t be exaggeration to say that Aarakshan belongs to Big B. Tanvi calls him the ‘real hero’ in the movie and so do we believe! Watch him during the resignation scene. Saif Ali Khan has done a remarkable job as a dalit – a character that is quite contrary to the suave and refined Saif in real life.





So, grab your tub of pop-corn for you’ll need energy to sit through the long movie and do an ‘Aarakshan’ for your seat for Aarakshan – there’s no harm in watching it once!
