Aarakshan is the story of Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh Bachchan),
the legendary idealistic principal of a college that he has
single-handedly turned into the state’s best. It is the
story of his loyal disciple, Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan)
who will do anything for his Sir. Of Deepak’s love for
Prabhakar’s daughter, Poorbi (Deepika Padukone), of his
friendship with Sushant (Prateik).
|
It is the story of their love, their lively
friendship, their zest for life, and of their
dreams for the future. Centered on one of the most
controversial issues of recent years, with the
Supreme Court’s order on reservations, the story
suddenly becomes a rollercoaster ride of high
drama, conflict, and rebellion, which tests their
love and friendship for one another, and their
loyalty to Prabhakar Anand.
Amitabh seems
to be the only saving grace of the film.
As someone pointed out aptly ''Prakash Jha movie
without Ajay Devgun is like pistol without a
bullet.......''But in the film the subject is the
punch. Will have to wait & Watch out for its box
office collections especially after the grand
success of 'Rajneeti'!
