Ajay, Bipasha in Aakrosh
The Ajay Devgn, Bipasha Basu and Akshaye Khanna starrer Aakrosh is based on honour killings in the state of Bihar.
Here's a look at the film that delves into the minds of some narrow minded rural people and the atrocities committed...
-
Amita Pathak's character Roshni is the daughter of the most influential and richest family in the district. Sheltered from the moral dilemmas and unaware of the consequences, Roshni gets caught up in a romance with a boy from a lower caste than her. This is the point at which the story unfolds into one of the biggest investigations in the area based on inhumane crime.

Paresh Rawal's portrayal Ajatshatru Singh, a corrupt police officer is of flawless contradiction. He may be a sweet talker, but occassionally one can catch a glimpse of his disgust for those belonging to the lower castes. Being his dishonorary self, he bends the laws and misuses his power whenever he deems fit.

"On one hand I am accused of selling out mindless comedies, (but) none of my supposedly mindless comedies has ever got into trouble. On the other hand when I make an issue-based film, it gets stuck. How will I do something meaningful when our moral guardians don't seem to believe in my vision?"

"It is hard-hitting. But not an offbeat experimental film. We want younger generations to watch the film, to become aware of the frightening reality that surrounds their existence. Unless we let younger viewers grow aware of the reality, we can't change the aberrations in society. So yes, I won't settle for an A-certificate. Let me make films that have a social purpose. Or I go back to making De Dana Dan."
