À propos de ce film

Vikram (Arunoday Singh) is a happy-go-lucky management student from a top Business School of India. He becomes an overnight sensation after a successful internet campaign against the radical fundamentalism of moral policing in India. This prompts his university teacher - Professor Ranjan Batki (Anupam Kher), to throw him a challenge for yet another internet campaign...A campaign that would help raise money via a non-profit Pottery Club for poor people living in Maoists areas of India. Little did Vikram know that he was about to become a part of a plot that would risk his life and the nation. He gets entangled between two corrupt facets of India - Socialism and Capitalism, both of which are deeply rooted in India. It's a story inspired by true life incidents of Underbelly India!

Notes et avis

Powerful stuff! Well done Mr.Agnihotri - you have delivered a great message and a knock-out punch with a shoe-string budget. The cast, script & cinematography are excellent. The story moves quickly and the ending is simple but laudable. It unmasks the dogma of maoism and naxals in India as a repulsive cocktail of violence, corruption and hatred - very dangerous for any country, especially India. Hidden among the genteel intelligentsia are wolves in sheep skin like the professor in the movie. I recommend reading Vivek's book - Urban Naxals (making of Buddha in a traffic jam) - before watching the movie. It is both terrifying and eye-opening at the time.

बहुत ही अच्छा फिल्म है आतंक वाद की पोल खोलकर रख दी

Good movie!
