great story and acting, with a powerful message... it's especially great to see stories like this being told in modern India, in which mass media has played a large role in curbing corruption, and social networking is also helping...
HOWEVER!!!! do we really need to hear indians say the f-word as much as possible? it DOESN'T SOUND COOL, it sounds STUPID. i can't help dropping my face into my hands every time one of these characters says the f-word, for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL.... indians are sooooo obsessed with looking cool that they make themselves look like complete idiots... i don't understand this stupid trend and it really takes away from the movie when everyone is trying to outdo each other with the English swearwords they can say. it's not cool at all, it makes them look silly and low class... but i have a feeling this trend will continue, and audiences will keep eating it up until typical indians become as foul-mouthed as typical Americans... this goes along with so many other bollywood trends, such as everyone being a smoker. in American films, you hardly ever see this anymore, yet it seems that more and more Indian films now have characters that smoke, again FOR NO REASON AT ALL.... another scene is one in which rani's character is seeing aggressively making out with a man, presumably after a night out, and this scene is NEVER referred to again. i just don't understand why so much effort goes into trying to look cool, especially when there's no purpose for it. i have no problem with swearing, smoking or making out, but when it's being put into a movie that it has nothing to do with, the audience is cheated. slaughtering animals is also a part of daily life, so why don't they put in a few scenes of that too? or of rani using the the toilet? or of vidya using tampons? because that's basically how trashy they look when they're CONSTANTLY repeating the f-word for no purpose other than to make young indians giggle and try to look cool....
