No doubt Madhur Bhandarkar did not advertise this movie well. He knew it was not his best attempt.
If you are going to watch this movie expecting it to be an entertainer along with the realism Madhur always manages to bring to the floor, you will be partially disappointed. Even though the concept of showing pragmatic imprisonment may sound serious and black, there were many moments in the movie which could have released the stress from the drag the movie was becoming and brought life to script. Many characters shown, but not utilized well.
Right after the film certificate, they saw 3 pages full of sponsors, including some top five stars hotels, shopping malls etc, but it turned out depressing to see the entire 2 and half hrs in the jail and court area.
In a way I personally respect Madhur, as in all his scripts he has managed to bring out the real truth of the society right on your face, unlike many others who hype it and get caught at the censor board (in this case except the nudity scene).
However, for this particular movie I would say it’s ok if you miss this drag, unless you want to know the actual reality around the procedures and processes of entering, escaping and living in the Indian jurisdiction.
