My thought on: Aarakshan

When i first saw the trailer, I knew exactly what to expect. A lovely melodramatic, heartwarming, meaningful & realistic film. 

The director, Prakash Jha never fails to surprise me. 

The presence of strong dialogs in all his films are well appreciated by his audience and always gets me thinking. His films all have such immense strong morals which i hope everyone learns from. 

You can never walk out from a Prakash Jha film without thinking about the moral. 

I've watched Aarakshan 12 hours ago yet it's still on my mind and I'm not surprised! 

Aarakshan is a movie which i truly believe in. 

This movie shows how the education system is not doing enough or even anything for the people who are lower in society. 

What i love about Amitabh Bachchan's role is his will to give more then he takes & help others even if he has nothing. He has a perspective on education which he truly believes in and stands for thus proves that education is nothing you can buy.This is a reason why everyone should watch this film because we need people to follow Amitabh Bachchans characters footsteps. 

Amitabh's character is a warm, giving teacher who teaches free of cost for students from the weaker community. 

In my opinion education is both equally important to any student who is from a high society class or not. 

What has society to do with education? Why does it matter? In the beginning of the film, Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan) is interviewed by some people & the people ask him about his society/background & not a question about his education. This happens in everyday life and that pains me. Whats wrong with this generation? Society shouldn't be questioned. 

This movie has been banned in 3 states! Why? Watch it yourself to see if its deserved to be banned. 

All the actors in this film portrayed themselves perfectly. This has been my favorite performance of Deepika Padukone as she was influential in her role & extremely committed. 

Amitabh Bachchan was the star, the gold, the diamond. You cannot walk out from this movie without praising Sir Bachchan because his effort, & skills were visible.

Saif Ali Khan hasn't proved himself that much with this film since he wasn't in this film as much as Deepika and Mr Bachchan but his role is like a breath of fresh air. Extremely refreshing and likeable and the same applies to Prateik Babbar! 

It is worth watching for the sake of the moral and lesson but is slow in the second half. Many of the credits go to the director Prakash Jha and I hope people will give this film a chance. 

My rating: About a 6.5 or 7/10
