Aakrosh Review - Priyadarshan at his Best


The film might not have got that amount of hype or publicity, but Priyadarshan has made a skillful movie which is completely away from his regular slapstick fare like Khatta Meetha and Hera Pheri. This is Priyadarshan at his strongest and best with the right amount of anger and arrogance mixed with a hint of compassion.


The story is simple, with tiny shades of Mississippi Burning in it, but the director has a way of telling the story that is unique and different from the rest. And through this the two protagonists, Akshaye Khanna and Ajay Devgn, makes the most of their characters. Akshaye as the young idealist is perfect, while Ajay is in his cynical and simplified best. A man who does not like complications and cares not for the rich society, he steals the show. But the one man who should be mentioned for being at his consistent best is Paresh Rawal. Bipasha Basu is sort of superfluous, but looks good. The editing and technicality is well-chalked out too and keeps a steady pace throughout.


Watch this film for a good hint of gripping drama. Of course, there are moments of slight disparity but they soon wash out in front of brilliant filmmaking.
