I watched it over weekend and just loved that
Prakash Jha has done a brilliant work of capturing the Anna Movement and giving it a cinematic flavor. Although the characters and events are all fictions he make sure not to loose the basic plot that "Janta Rocks".
It must have been very difficult to pen down characters without making any real life resemblance but the job is well done. If he would have gone overboard to depict the reality the movie would have not even released.
Spoliers ahead
Every one from AB, Ajay, Manoj, Arjun and Kareena has done brilliant job. They played their character well with some high voltage dialogues. At 71 AB can still give all the youngster a tough challenge. The way he stormed into DM office and that slap was so effective that full theater was buzzing with claps
Ajay as Manav looked lost in initial scenes but the moment he took charge of the movement he delivers his best. The scene where he cries seeing the wine bottle after his friend's death was so touching and brilliantly done
Manoj proved again why he is one of the best actor of this generation.
Arjun did full justice to his role and is looking damn hot in the jeans+kurta avtar
Coming to Kareena I don't know why people are saying her role is insignificant. She played Yasmin Ahmed with full conviction. A media reported who knows her job well and is key pillar in strengthening the movement. She did full justice to her role. The frustration on her face when she sees very few people with Ajay on coming to Ambikapur and then later the cunning smile on seeing arjun coming with thousands is worth watching. she is the only one who was opposing ajay's decisions at the end.
Overall I would say a must watch movie.
From my side 4/5
