kichdi Satyagraha has to be one of the worst movies, the language in which it is made will surprise you, all the dialogues have English words thrown in, the movie is not at all a Hindi movie. It would be better to call it Hinglish movie, the English which is used is also of high quality at times that an average village will not be able to understand. A Hindi movie should have only Hindi words. Amitabh despite his command of Hindi is uttering dialogues laced with English even for basic words. Amitabh looks a shadow of his glorious days in the movie & also there is no screen time for him. All other actors look awful in their performance. The story is so weak that for almost anything the local public of Amibikapur depend on the old Amitabh & Ajay Devgn as if they do not have anything else to do in their lives. Add insult to injury Manoj Bajpai being a home minister easily overrules the chief minister of the state on every decision & the CM is always letting the Home minister to take all decisions. Prakash Jha the director seems to have forgotten ABCD of directing a movie, he has robbed the entire storyline of Anna Hazare's & Arvind Kejriwal's movement.

Jasrick Johal Satyagraha is a film for the people of India,and fort that matter anywhere corruption exists.The film is so powerful,Prakash Jha has a winner!Satyagraha story is very simple, a few people come together to fight corruption, and how the government reacts, acts is the crux.In Satyagraha the performances are so powerful and mind blowing. Amitabh Bachchan is the life line of the film,he breathes fire on screen, Ajay Devgn is the soul of the film,he gives a power packed act!But Manoj Bajypee is the scene stealer, he is simply AMAZING.Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal also give great performances.Satyagraha does have a cpl -, the okay 1st half and unwanted love track is a -. Dir Prakash Jha after film like Apharan and Raajneeti etc hits the ball out of the park again with Satyagraha. A great topic an amazing job! Overall Satyagraha is a very powerful film which will move you.An amazing topic, and superb performances take the film to an high!!! A must watch for all Indians to see whats happening in their country and how its time for a change.A special mention to the Satyagraha climax where Amitabh Bachchan is flawless, he shows why he is 1 of worlds best actors. A breathtaking moment!!!

namashi_1 Prakash Jha's 'Satyagraha' is a noble film, that sends out a message loud and clear: Fight Against Corruption. And to a notable extend, the film succeeds by arresting & inspiring its viewer. However, a prolonged second-hour acts as a deterrent. Nonetheless, The Striking Performances stand out! 'Satyagraha' is the story of a son who yearns for a father. Of a father, who grieves for his lost son. Of a young woman who fights so hard with life that she has forgotten to love. Of an ambitious rabble-rouser, for whom action is the knee-jerk mantra. It is the story of how these four discover one another, and come together to raise hell, shaking the powers that be to their very roots!'Satyagraha' begins well & has an interesting, persuasive first-hour. The second-hour begins well, but the final 45-minutes are prolonged. Even the climatic fight between the righteous & the corrupt doesn't leave the desired impact. Though never boring, 'Satyagraha' does falter in its final act.Jha & Anjum Rajabali's Screenplay is brave & patriotic, but needed some sharpness in the second-hour. Jha's Direction is intense & quite note-worthy. Cinematography is rustic. Editing could've been crispier. Art Design is well-done.Performance-Wise: Amitabh Bachchan is remarkable. He stands on his own all through. Ajay Devgn is efficient. Arjun Rampal does well. Kareena Kapoor Khan is perfect. Amrita Rao delivers a sincere, heartfelt performance. Manoj Bajpai is terrific, as always. He enacts the filthy politician with enviable ease. Vinay Apte is superb, as well. On the whole, 'Satyagraha' works in parts, but the performances certainly stand out.

Ajit Tiwari We all, one way or another, are the victim of this corrupt bureaucracy. We witness treachery, rampant bribery, corruption and exploitations almost every day. We have also witnessed the 2011 Anna Hazare's political activism against corruption which tried its level best to do well for the democracy of India as we are Indian Government of the people, for the people, by the people.Here Prakash Jha comes again with his formula and presents "Satyagraha", a fictionalized version of Anna's movement. If we have to analyze his previous movies, I conclude that the execution and signature tune is deteriorating subsequently because it really lacks the contemplation or exploration.Every Indian or for that matter the whole world is aware of the movement and its lineage but Prakash Jha makes it into a film which does not give you a hard-hitting lesson but song sequences, mass protest, rally's, A list Actors (some of them are not at all utilized), underdeveloped characters, uneven screenplay and overall a mix-up. He wanted to show everything including a Rice Brand endorsement-it is particularly horrid.The characters are taking turns in their characters graph without any convincing rational behind it.In Ambikapur, Dwarka Anand (Amitabh Bachchan) a righteous retired school principle –– who does not like his son Akhilesh's (Indraneil Sengupta) friend, Manav (Ajay Devgn), as Manav desires to get a foreign degree and become a businessman. Unfortunately Akhilesh, a government civil engineer, meets with a horrifying accident and dies. MLA Balram Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) announces compensation, Akhilesh's wife (Amrita Rao) keeps doing the rounds of the district collector's office to claim the compensation promised and becomes a victim of Bribery and corruption. Dwarka Anand strides to the DM's office and deposits a tight on his face; it lands him into the jail. Manav leaves his business and settles in Ambikapur with news reporter Yasmin (Kareena Kapoor). Arjun Rampal (Arjun), a local student leader supports them in the movement.When we talk about performances, Amitabh Bachchan is always delivers a powerhouse performance as a virtuous and principled Dwarka Anand. For Ajay Devgn, it is a not new and he always gives an intense performance. Amrita Rao does a decent work, Arjun Rampal dis the same thing in "Raajneeti". Kareena is okay as a journalist whose character sketch is uneven. Manoj Bajpayee, steals the show here as the crafty Balram Singh.Nevertheless "Satyagraha" portrays a real aspect of current India but it lacks the execution. The inevitable turns of the characters, an abrupt romance track between Ajay & Kareena is indeed pointless, a pretentious romantic song sequence is highly unnecessary, the unscrupulous millionaire Manav's transformation to an activist is implausible as he dissolves his complete business too fast, Arjun's character was incomprehensible and so on.It was an opportunity for Prakash Jha to showcase the current political and social issues but he fails as nothing new was explored. I respect Jha's intentions but it is unsuccessful in connecting with the people.6/10.
