It is one of my all time favourite movies. The caste based politics and subsequent violence which is a reality in universities (in India) is depicted in a realistic manner. The love story of two college kids from a typical orthodox middle class society in India grows as the plot thickens. The depiction of the middle class society, family values, aspirations, class/caste barrier is very realistic. Irfan Khan has given a powerful performance as a university student turn political figure using violence. Ashutosh Rana is also impressive in short role as leader of students of higher castes.

The movie is a like a breathe of fresh air, when most of the bollywood movies based on college love stories and college politics touch these real social issues superficially. The climax of the movie is a bit let down though. But even then the movie is a definite 'Must-see'.

Its a cult movie , i have watched it numerous times , can watch again.

This movie is special for me as during our undergrad days, we were asked to learn each and every dialogue of this movie in ragging. I still remember 80% of the dialogue. Movie shows underbelly of College elections and how it impacts the students. One off of the best work of Irfan Khan.

Pros: Great script awesome acting well directed

Cons: Couple of unnecessary songs.

A brilliant narrative of student politics and the ecosystem around it. A very captivating story till the last minute. Movie gradually evolves and touches many different aspects of life, numerous to point down. Namely caste, patriarchy, mainstream political, muscle power, betrayl, friendship and more.

Tigmanshu Dhulia is a brilliant director and writer which is suitably portrayed in the movie.

Actings were almost flawless, which casts most of the gonna be established artists in the movie scene.

A well made worth-it movie.

This is only kind of such movie made in Indian cinema. This movie truly replicates and speaks about mind and mindset of students in northern part of India (not in metros). The efforts put by director/writer Tigmanshu Dhulia can't be measured by just few awards. A lot of research (or say no research was required because every scene looks so natural) has been done behind each and every scene in the movie. Most of the actors in the movie are stage performers and they have given their best shots in the movie. No doubt this is the best movie of the best (?) actor in India after Kamal Hasan. Performance given by Jimmy Shergil and even Hrishita Bhatt is par above than so called superstars of Indian Hindi cinema. I recommend everyone to watch this movie at least once.
