When you see John Abraham turn into a vigilante to punish those who caused the death of innocent citizens, you’re not as surprised as you are when you realise it’s Satya who’s handing out the death penalty, and Jay is being roped in to bring the vigilante to justice. At the onset, writer-director Milap Zaveri and the film’s team have maintained that it’s a massy fare, like the popular cinema of the 1980s. REVIEW: The only way Satyameva Jayate 2 (SMJ2) takes ahead from its prequel Satyameva Jayate (SMJ) is by tackling corruption and greed for power. So, if you thought this story revolves around brother against brother, no, there is more to it. When a couple of gruesome killings take place in the city, ACP Jay Azad (John Abraham again) is brought in to nab the murderer, never mind his motive. However, it fails to get enough ‘Ayes’, not only from his allies, but also from his wife Vidya (Divya Khosla Kumar) a member of the Opposition, who votes ‘Nay’ in the Vidhan Sabha. STORY: Satya Azad (John Abraham), an upright Home Minister wants to cleanse the country of corruption with his Anti-Corruption Bill. She has a good screen presence and well, let’s see what she chooses next. She gets her moment when she commands her husband and brother-in-law to wreak havoc against the rapists. Divya Khosla Kumar makes her comeback to Hindi cinema with this film.
TOP 5 CORRUPT SONS OF POLITICIANS IN WORLD FULL
Full marks to him for his sincerity towards such a topsy-turvy script.
The rustic clothes and handlebar moustache suited him. We think he looked the best in his farmer avatar. It helps that all three are chiselled as help and have the same height and body structure, not to mention voice. He never flinches from delivering the most over-the-top lines in all three of his avatars. It’s John Abraham’s first ever triple role and he’s risen admiringly to the occasion. And it tells you that if you unite, then you can take care of corrupt politicians yourself. The best thing about the film is that it espouses communal harmony - in an extremely loud, shouting from the rooftops kind of way. Maybe they need a gory revenge fantasy to get their minds off COVID-19, unemployment, inflation.the works. Nothing has been going right for the common man in any case. Maybe the masses need some kind of escapist fantasy - we don’t know. The violence - and there’s lots of it in the film - is quite graphic. The background score too is ultra loud and suspenseful. There’s no subtlety involved in the film. This is the final solution propagated by the film. Each such problem can be solved by killing the most corrupt in the system. To make things look relevant, issues such as the lack of oxygen in hospitals, the humiliation faced by the rape victims, the plight of child beggars, the corrupt builder-politican nexus, the problems of debt-ridden farmers get talked about in the film. The common man’s fantasy of delivering rough justice to the carpetbaggers and criminals of the world has been played on a loop. The brothers are shown targeting everyone from corrupt politicians, careless doctors, callous policemen, to beggar mafia and rapists. In short, everything that can make you emotional has been thrown in the mix. The karwa chauth song, where the festival is shown being celebrated en masse by the entire population, the wedding sangeet song, the devar-bhabhi ched chad, the twins covering for each other, even the famous Mother India sequence - instead of Nargis and her sons, Dadasaheb alone tills the soil and has so much strength that he can use the yoke to make a large fissure. The famous blood-transfusion scene from Amar Akbar Anthony - Dadsaheb battles a hundred goons while giving blood to his wife. Hindu-Muslim unity - there’s a scene where Jay catches a Quran which was thrown in the air and then thrashes the culprit. They join hands to become extra-judicial vigilantes to kill the corrupt and make UP a crime-free state.Įvery melodramatic film trope has been sprinkled liberally on the film by director and writer Milap Milan Zaveri. His twin sons, Satya Balram Azad (John Abraham) and Jay Balram Azad (John Abraham) grow up to be a politician and a cop respectively. He’s killed by his political rivals and his wife goes into a deep coma. He’s not averse to beating up people to get his point across. He not only has the largest heart, he has the largest muscles as well.
Activist Dadasaheb Balram Azad (John Abraham) is looked upon like a messiah by his villagers near Varanasi.
