'Satyagraha a Glimpse of Nirbhaya, Gandhi, Anna Hazare'

The cast of Prakash Jha’s new movie Satyagraha --  Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao -- launched a song called Raghupati Raghav from the movie, at a suburban studio on July 25.

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram is a popular bhajan, and was Mahatma Gandhi's favourite.
Director Prakash Jha said that they had modified the song. "We have retained the initial lines of original prayer and added new lines keeping in mind the sentiments of people today,” he informed the media present.
"Middle class people across the world protest if they are in a democracy. The film is not about Anna Hazare. There is no reflection of his protest. But the essence is with Nirbhaya, Mahatma Gandhi and Anna Hazare," Jha said.

The director was confident that his film will be able to attract the audience to the theatres. "I feel that people will get entertained, people will get engaged and they will feel satisfied after seeing this film and that it is worth their money, it is their time's worth. It is worth the effort to come and see the film," he said.

  1. Satyagraha though a decent movie but kind of underwhelms mainly because you expected a lot more from the movie but you do get enough of it. Prakash Jha is slipping a bit with his political thrillers. Amithabh is his usual self and Manoj Bajpai plays the role of corrupted neta with flamboyance and vengeance. Kareena as a journalist is a misfit and Ajay could not match up with his own standards. Arjun does a fair job. Watchable. One time movie.
