Enjoyable Indians vs corruption tale. The bad guys are the politicians, the corporations and the majority of the police force who have beaten down an agricultural town and have used their power to steal the land from the population to build a power station.
The situation changes when a new officer under the selection of a government officer moves into the territory, instead of bowing to the whims of the corrupt politicians and turning a blind eye to the brutality of goons she takes them on using the force of the law.
The lead actress Priyanka Chopra plays SP Abha Mathur the honest Inspector who takes on MLA Babloo Pandey (Manav Kaul), chief land grabber (Ninad Kamat) and finds herself having to protect the rights of the bad guys has she tries to find out the truth about a series of brutal hangings. The script works well and does not fall back on lazy moments of comedy sidekicks and long drawn out dance numbers, Yes there are songs in the film but they are used emphasise scenes. The cinematography is good and this viewer could see how well it captured a dying town and a beaten people.
This film uses its actors well and the characters though clichéd are good especially Prakash Jha (also the director)as the corrupt police officer, whose conscience is finally opened to what hes condoned.
The only disappointment is the run of the mill ending.
