Watch Aakrosh For Free

Overrated and overhyped

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Priyadarshan before getting into comedies was one of our finest dramatic directors though most of his films were his own reproductions of Malyalam ones but yet he gave some great films till HERA PHERI, HUNGAMA and then he starting doing stale comedies. AAKROSH was a break from comedies and he ventured into serious intense cinema yet again. He cast Ajay Devgan and returned with Akshaye Khanna after some time and both talented actors obviously the expectations were high. But the film comes across as a below average film, he tried to balance 80's masala with social awareness kinda subject and hence fell down. The film is a remake of Missisipi Burning but lacks the strong impact. There are several loopholes and many hard to digest masala scenes thrown in as Priyan wanted to appeal to the masses and classes too. The film starts off well, Paresh Rawal's scenes with Ajay and Akshaye are superb, also the bonding between Ajay and Akshaye is good Several more scenes are well handled but the problem is the lack of consistency, there are several half baked sub plots like Shool Sena part and several more. The film also seems abruptly moving into different things all of a sudden, Pray why the flashback of Bips-Ajay was suddenly thrown in? Especially the song? The film has several stunts like Ajay chasing the guy which is well executed but sometimes it does ruin the going ons by seeming forced like the train stunt. The film's climax too seems abrupt and all of a suddenDirection by Priyadarshan is good but not one of his best Music seems forcedAjay Devgan excels yet again as the lead and conveys through his eyes and endears himself well to the masses, Akshaye Khanna too does a great job in his role It's a pleasure to see him do serious stuff Bipasha Basu is decent in a role that could be better Paresh Rawal returns to his villainy something he excelled in the 80s and 90s before he started comedies and excels Reema Sen is superb in her role rest all are good to average

AA-Krash Burning(Straight copy of Mississippi Burning)When you go wrong, you go overboard – seems like the mantra of once good directors in Bollywood. Similar to Prakash Jha, Priyadarshan who did deliver films like KalaPani, Virasat and Gardish; delivered only promise and a great miss through Aakrosh. This film has everything, right from topics like Honor Killing, Caste fights, Feudal lords, Masala, Item Songs, over-the-top action and one man army style heroism. The lack of real and packed storyline will only disappoint you.The failure starts with camera(s) and frames. You will notice a different treatment of scenes throughout the films. Looks like that the songs and action sequences are shot by two different directors. The opening was shaky and thrilling but lacked the camera control and overall focus of the story. Priyadarshan seems to lose its touch after the continuous churning of brainless comedy. After Hera-Pheri, we are still waiting a great movie from the master. Unnecessary casting of Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy (just one sick item number) proves that the producers wanted some sexism in form of these two dusky ladies. They forget that Bipasha basu minus makeup is still worse because she never acted and never can. She cannot even deliver the rustic approach required by the script. Unjustifiable songs are another miss and a total wastage of quite a long saga.The exaggerated action sequences were not at all required. They just helped in killing the mood further. The art director along with the designer was wasted to show Bipasha in a skimpy outfit in past and a rustic, down to earth typical wife wrapped in sari as well. The story has many flaws like, just after the wet rainy song, its shown that the village never had rain since 2 years and farmers are facing draught like situation. There was no Dalit political leader, One CBI officer in the team, small village but a very large police force, Beating media persons in public without any fear, sub-inspector is shown carrying pistols and weapons and equipped with many government cars and gypsy's …… there are many to recall.Though inspired from Ranbir-sena, Shool-sena is shown without its counterpart – Naxalites. The Jehanabad shootings and killings was copied to the silver screen but lacked the horror and emotions. The marketing of this movie was done primarily on recent Khap killings or Honor killings, but the story was loosely inspired from Mississippi burning. When I saw the duo of Akshay khanna and Ajay Devgan, where one is calm and the other is hard boiled hot blooded, suddenly Gene Hackman and William Defoe striked my mind. The Bhatt again copied and got inspired from 1988 Hollywood movie. The "Ku Klux Klan" was modified into Shool- sena after a dirty cocktail of Ranbir-Sena of Bihar. It's a shame on the legendary Priyadarshan. The whole sequence of Bipasha exposing her husband, the fight between the two leads, then an agreement to work together, private part's castration – Nasbandi, to the fight in the saloon with a razor, the sentences and the verdicts are straight lifted from this American crime drama. There was even a scene loosely copied from classic Mirch-Masala.This copy got worse by the love story of Ajay Devgan and Bipasha who is playing wife of Paresh (Villain). The whole movie might look good to those never exposed to cinema and reality. An utter disappointment. Though Akshay Khanna and Ajay Devgan did their best and they delivered very well together. Instead; I would recommend you to buy a DVD of Oscar winning Mississippi Burning than wasting your money to this flop copy.A total of NEGATIVE STARS.

Aakrosh is based on the theme of 'honor killings' in India. However, this theme seemed to contrived as it was directed by Priyadarshan. He is a light-hearted comedy director and should remain so.Priyadarshan chose to make a film on honor killings but this is simply a pretense to copy the controversial Hollywood flick 'Mississippi Burning'. Not only the scenes but some dialogues are also copied down word for word.The story is pretty much the same like the original but here the 'Blacks' and the 'KKK' clashes are changed to the 'Thakur' and 'Dalit' clashes.The story goes like this: two CBI officers (Akshaye Khanna and Ajay Devgan) are sent to a remote Indian village to investigate the reason behind the disappearance of three students. Their investigation is filled with traps and hurdles as they face many obstacles, especially from a corrupt and ruthless cop (Paresh Rawal). To make matters worse, the villagers refuse to cooperate with Akshaye and Ajay. Because they are scared of Shool Sena-an organization responsible for many illicit activities. As the story unfolds, Paresh's meek wife (Bipasha Basu) who was also Ajay's ex-fiancée, reveals the truth behind the students' disappearance. Finally, Ajay and Akshaye unearth the whole case but with fatal consequences which lead to the crux of the film. Talking about the performances, the movie rests on Ajay Devgan, Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal's shoulders. They carry the movie on their own. But Ajay is my favorite. I like the way he delivers his dialogues. They are often sarcastic, witty and even humorous at some point. Akshaye Khanna is also diligent. Paresh Rawal does his villain part pretty well but didn't we see him doing this type of roles a zillion times. Bipasha Basu plays a role that I find very difficult to connect to. Her past and present have stark differences. Amita Pathak has no role to talk of. Reema Sen is efficient.Music is pretty good. 'Man Ki Mat' and 'Isaak Se Meetha' are my favorites. Editing is strictly okay. Cinematography is eye-catching.I think 'Aakrosh' is not for the faint-hearted. Because too much violence and gore will make you sick. Anyways, if you like action thrillers and you're missing your village too much, then I would recommend 'Aakrosh' to you.Overall, 'Aakrosh' is disappointing. I liked Priyadarshan's 'Bhool Bhulaiya', 'Hungama' and 'Malamaal Weekly' because they were all comedies. But when it comes to serious action thrillers, he just thinks ripping off Hollywood flicks would help him to a great extent.I would rate it 2/10.
