Based on the raging issue of caste-based honour killings in UP and Bihar, Aakrosh is a very commendable deviation from the comedy stable of Priyadarshan. A dark movie, Aakrosh will shake you with its no-holds barred look at the shameful darker shades of modern India's heartlands. Ajay Devgan as an ex-army guy on deputation pairs up with the oh-so-quiet-and-in-control CBI officer Akshay Khanna to investigate the disappearance of three Delhi students on holiday in a small Bihar town. Very soon, it is obvious that this will be no simple Sherlock Holmes episode. Things go from bad to worse, when the police, the politicians, the local administration, the goondas, and eventually the local townsfolk, turn against the officers from Delhi, threatening their lives on more than one occasion, terrorizing every potential witness, and ruining any chance of getting justice.
Will the law eventually catch up? Will it be enough? Will Ajay's firebrand methods work, or will the methodical and systematic investigative methods of the CBI officer bear fruits in the end?
A rivetting drama, excellent performances by the cast including Ajay, Akshay and Paresh Rawal, some of Bollywood's best action scenes, and a nice item song by Sameera Reddy along with another unique number by Bipasha/Ajay, the movie is a super package.
Do watch it, if you are OK with life being not all Archies and Coffee Day. Here's a peek at another India, that's as real as you and me.
