If you thought or think this film was a clunker, then too bad for you. Viruddh is one of those rare movies that come around every once in a while to put all those popcorn flickers to shame! It's a great film! It didn't need to be a box office hit, it didn't need to pretend to be anything that it is not, it was a simple story about a family just like any other family touched and shaken by tragedy and that's that. Amitabh Bachchan plays the father of John Abraham's character, a hero type guy who likes to rescue women from the clutches of bad boyfriends. Well, like the Shakira song lyric goes; "It's an animal city, it's a cannibal world, so be obedient and don't argue with some are ready to fight you..." and that pretty much sums up what happens to John in this film. The second half of the film deals with his father seeking justice and trying to restore the glory of his fallen son's name. Stellar performances by Sanjay Dutt and Amitabh Bachchan. A definite must see for all who appreciate fine films.
