Featured review
The crusading journalist vs Maharaj in court
The year is 1862 and the location is India. Based on a true story it is about the ideological clash between a self styled religious guru called Jadunath Maharaj and a reformist cum journalist Karsandas Mulji Karsandas had exposed the inappropriate relationships of Maharaj with women disciples in his newspaper and in retaliation the Maharaj had filed a case of defamation against him. The later portion of the movie focuses on the courtcase where the British judiciary dismisses the case and based on the evidence of the abused women, the court gives instructions to initiate criminal proceedings against the Maharaj.
Director Malhotra P Siddharth has made an absorbing movie which faithfully depicts the people and atmosphere of that era. Both the protagonist Junaid and antagonist Jaideep Ahlawat have been suitably cast in their well written roles. Both have given a good account of themselves. Jaideep is convincing with his towering personality, dialogue delivery and body language while Junaid as the soft spoken and determined journalist (in his debut) is convincing too. Their clash is shown very realistically through the scenes and the dialogue. Sharvari Wagh does well in support. The court scenes in the later part make for gripping cinema.
