New Delhi: Prakash Jha is known to dwelve in topical issues in each of his films. From 'Gangaajal' to 'Chakravyuh'- Jha has talked about very serious issues in his films.
His latest offering 'Satyagraha' promises to be a gritty political drama where five individuals come together to protest against a corrupt system thereby starting a revolution of sorts. The film has an impressive line up of actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao playing key roles.
While the trailers of the film lead us to believe that the film is based on Anna Hazare's movement, the makers have insisted that the film isn't and that Bachchan is not essaying Hazare's character.
Jha's films usually are thought provoking and try to find a solution to some pertinent issues prevailing in the Indian society. He also is able to get the best out of his actors in his films and with bevy of stars in 'Satyagraha' one expects the film to be high on content as well as performances.
So does 'Satyagraha' have an original story or is it based on Hazare's movement? Has Jha been able to take out the best performances from his actors? Will this film be a turning point Bachchan and his other co-stars? Shomini Sen of IBNLive.com is inside the theatre to find that out.

11:08 AM: Strong views on pertinent issues. That's what #Satyagraha is all about.
11:19 AM: What conditions lead to a revolution in modern times? And how can they be avoided? #Satyagraha
11:36 AM: Good to see Bengali actor Indraneil Sengupta in a Bollywood film. Not quite sure why an issue based film like #Satyagraha needs an item number.
11:51 AM: Subtle brand promotion here and there.Amitabh Bachchan as the rightist Dwarka Anand is just perfect. #Satyagraha
12:22 PM: Prakash Jha makes a brief cameo as a gawking passerby. Manoj Bajpayee is brilliant as politician Balram Singh. His talent is hardly used by filmmakers. #Satyagraha
12:48 PM: There is an uncanny similarity to the recent people's movement that took place in the country even though makers deny it. #Satyagraha
12:53 PM: First half of #Satyagraha is taking its predictable course towards the interval. Narrative is a bit slow.
01:19 PM: Why do we need a romantic track in the middle of a serious track? #Satyagraha resorts to cliches.
01:27 PM: The role of social media in modern day revolution is highlighted well in #Satyagraha.
01:39 PM: There is something amazing that Amitabh Bachchan does every time he comes one screen. Even after so many years. #Satyagraha
02:02 PM: There are also drawbacks to a revolution. Some people do get affected. All sides of the story well highlighted. #Satyagraha
02:14 PM: Among the actors Amitabh Bachchan and Manoj Bajpayee shine throughout. #Satyagraha
02:20 PM: It documents the recent movements that the country witnessed but takes a bit of cinematic liberty while narrating the story. #Satyagraha
02:23 PM: There are cliches but the film manages to get its message across to its viewers. #Satyagraha
02:27 PM: Thanks for being with us throughout the tweet review of #Satyagraha. Stay tuned for more movie updates.
