Amit
Kumar (Ajay Devgan) is the new police officer residing in a small
village called Tejpur.
He
comes across Sadhu Yadav and his son Sundar, two corrupt men who
have been terrorising the villagers.
Being
an honest man, Amit refuses to give in.
Slowly
he begins to win the hearts of the villagers and the rest of the
police force, with the help of his wife Anuradha (Gracy Singh).
And
that basically forms the core of this thriller.
Gangaajal
might seem to be similar to other Bollywood releases in the same
genre but this is where you are wrong.
The
screenplay does not have any loop holes for the film to falter.
And
it is due to this that we are kept on the edge of our seats as the
post intermission part gains momentum right up to the climax.
Naturally
the story is elevated greatly with strong performances by all the
main cast.
One
aspect of Gangajaal, which separates it from other similar
movies is that it does not portray the same clich茅s.
So
it does not give the feeling of having seen it all before.
Technically,
the film excels in all departments. Bollywood is certainly churning
out high quality products these days.
After
all they need to accommodate the ever growing overseas market such
as the UK.
One
point to not, is the absence of song and dance sequences in this
film which proves a plus.
Some
of you might find certain scenes predictable but don't let that
put you off because Ajay Devgan's intense performance will keep
you glued to the screen.
Having
seen Gracy Singh in Lagaan and Armaan, we expected the same
calibre of work in this action flick.
Unfortunately
this is not the case as her role restricts her talents.
Director
Prakash Jha has made a realistic film which portrays corruption.
However
be warned that there is lots of bad language, blood and gore. So
it will only appeal to certain group of Bollywood fans. This might
just affect its box office takings in the long run.
