Story:As corruption erupts, what's the bestsatyagraha- to preach or practice?Review:There's a shot inSatyagraha- a rainbow glimmering for a second between jets of water pounding protestors - which typifies this film. Vibrantly layered,Satyagrahaweaves together urban legends of corruption, encompassing corporate lobbyists to murdered engineers. It features slices of histories, Chauri Chaura, Mandal, Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal Andolan. It takes a real issue - corruption - to reel life, movingly fusing fact with fiction, leading to a security guard accompanying a politico at its screening to sing out aloud,"Aam aadmi kitna aam, Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram..."Retired teacher Dwarka Anand (Bachchan) is an idealistic man. Hisengineer son Akhilesh's buddy Manav (Devgn) is an ambitious capitalist. Manav cherishes his friend - who suddenly dies. Minister Balram Singh (Bajpai) announces compensation which Akhilesh's wife Sumitra (Rao) cannot get despite daily applications before government babus. Incensed, Dwarka slaps an arrogant official and gets imprisoned. Manav starts a campaign to free him, using social media, roping in wannabe-bahubali Arjun Singh (Rampal) and journalist Yasmin (Kapoor). As hopeful students, hungry labourersand angry middle class citizens join, politicians panic. Will their moves derail the movement?Devgn isSatyagraha's strong body while Amitabh - gaunt in grief, moving in fortitude - is its soul. And Bajpai is its glittering, malevolent cloak, delivering a satiny performance hair-raising in its perfection. Bachchan voices the movie's philosophy -"Janta sarkaarki malik hai. Malik nirdesh deta hai.Maang nahin karta."But what is thebest way to give suchnirdesh? Symbolic protest? Violent revolt? Or a longer, harder route?Satyagrahagrapples with this dilemma. More philosophical than fiery, it adorns reality with gloss and loss. Dwarka touching the earth where his son fell brings tears while Prasoon Joshi's wonderful lyrics -"Uthkar karne hain kuch kaam, Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram"- bring hope.Satyagrahadeserves an extra half-star for capturing corruption from root to branch - a government babu complains,"Yahan toh table ka bhi bhaada dena padta hai".Showing trueSatyagrahahas no short-cuts, it also shows solutions glimmering ahead, as ephemeral, yet powerful as a rainbow cleansing the dust.Note: You may not like this movie ifyou avoid socio-political realities incinema.
