Incensed, Dwarka slaps an arrogant official and gets imprisoned. Manav starts a campaign to free him, using social media, roping in Arjun Singh (Arjun Rampal) and journalist Yasmin (Kareena Kapoor). As hopeful students, hungry labourers and angry middle class citizens join in the agitation, politicians panic.

Filming

Satyagraha acquired channel veteran CNN Chief International Correspondent and journalist Christiane Amanpour in a role mirroring her real-life occupation as an international television correspondent.[33] Kareena Kapoor travelled to Dubai with her stylist to choose offbeat and chic attire that completed her look of an international journalist. Jha visualised Kareena's role as that of a reporter who keeps a tab on the entire movement and reports at the international level. The director wais reportedly influenced by the huge fan following that Amanpour, famous for her reportage from war zones, enjoys.[34] The film, starring Amitabh Bachchan as social activist Anna Hazare, was shot mainly in Bhopal and New Delhi. The state-of-the-art news studio set was built in Bhopal as it offered more space. Ralegan Siddhi (village of Anna Hazare), a small village in Maharashtra with a population of roughly 2,500 people, served as one of the main shooting locations.[35] Amitabh Bachchan plays a man who is a firm believer of truth, akin to a new age Gandhi while Ajay plays an ambitious entrepreneur who represents the modern India shining philosophy. Manoj Bajpai plays the role of a wily politician who uses every means to break the system.[36] The shooting of Satyagraha began in February 2013 in Bhopal.[37][38][39][40][41][42] After that, the production unit headed to Ralegan Siddhi. Ajay started shooting for Satyagraha in Bhopal in February 2013.[43][44] Amitabh Bachchan stayed at the heritage Noor-Us-Sabah Palace Hotel, whose Gauhar Taj suite was being renovated.[45][46] Satyagraha wass also shot at the IES College campus, Bhopal.[47] It was speculated that the film also more than just touches upon the 2G spectrum scam that had rocked the nation.[48] Prakash Jha also had a small presence in the film.[49][50]

Soundtrack reception

Jyoti Prakash of IBO Database rated the album 3 out of 5 stars and argued that, "too many cooks spoil the broth and the music album of Satyagraha might be a prime example of this"; he went on to conclude that, "The soundtrack of Satyagraha is strictly according to the mood and setting of the film. It is by no means a classic (which was not even expected) but it certainly ensures that the revolution has well and truly begun..."[53]

Release

Satyagraha released on August 30, 2013 on more than 2,700 screens in India and occupied many multiplex screens in place of Madras Cafe.[54] The film was submitted for Censor certification on August 8, 2013.[55] The film released in the UAE on August 29, 2013. Satyagraha received a 12A certificate by British censors on 23 August 2013; it was awarded an M certificate by Australian censors on 27 August.

Marketing

A book titled Satyagraha - The Story Behind Revolution was released on August 27 by Prakash Jha, Arjun Rampal and Kareena Kapoor. The book, penned by writer Pooja Verma and published by Om Books International and priced at Rs. 995, was released on September 1, 2013.[56] The book tells the story of the development of the film.[57][58][59] Ajay Devgn and Prakash Jha promoted Satyagraha on Comedy Nights with Kapil.[60] The star cast also promototed the show on various new channels like Aaj Tak, Zee News, ABP News, Times Now, CNN IBN, etc.[61][62] The film was promoted in Mumbai and Delhi.[63][64][65][66]

Controversy

A social action group, the Bhopal Citizens Forum (BCF) objected to the laying of a tar road and construction of a makeshift market at the historic 19th century Benazir Palace, the location of Satyagraha. The issue caught the attention of the National Monuments Authority (NMA) as well.[67] Benazir Palace grounds come under the Gandhi Medical College (GMC, Bhopal). The palace itself, not a protected monument, is held by the public works department (PWD). On August 28, 2013, Bombay High Court refused to stay the film's exhibition while hearing a suit filed by a producer claiming he was the original copyright owner of the movie's title. The plea was to stop release of the film Satyagraha and sue for damages worth Rs 25 crore.[68][69][70]

Ankit Ojha of Planet Bollywood gave the film 4 stars (out of 10), stating that, "Satyagraha is suitable only for those who can ignore the film's many faults for its message. That in itself is going to be a major task for the audience to live up to."[72]
Srijana Mitra Das of The Times of India gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and said that Satyagraha deserves an extra half-star for capturing corruption from root to branch.[73]

Saurabh Dwivedi of India Today gave it 2 stars and remarked that despite choosing a hard-hitting topic other directors have managed to side step, Prakash Jha's Satyagraha was lacking and managed to land right on top of a pile of weak stories.[83]
Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it 2 out 5 and opined that in Satyagraha, Jha effectively meshes the urban angst witnessed on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook with the ground realities of India's heartland, but the plot subsequently loses its way.[84][85]

Paloma Sharma of Rediff.com she gave the film 3 stars and stated that Prakash Jha's much-awaited political thriller, Satyagraha has a heart of gold. She adds this film attempts to speak about important issues but ends up over-simplifying them. Nevertheless, it is a good attempt.[91]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film just 1.5 stars.[93]
Ravi Ranjan of IBO Database rated the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars and said, "All in all, it's a good film, with an even better intention. Once the end credits starts rolling, you won't be disappointed. Instead, you will feel charged to initiate something for the betterment of the society."[94]
