I watched the movie with lot of expectations as our jitu bhaiyya is the hero of this film. However, the movie turned out to be quite boring in the end. The topic was good but couldn't be justified. Overall the movie looked as if it was directed very casually. The movie looked confused! It didn't had any strong flavour of humour, emotion, action, drama or anything else. Maybe a mix of everything. Jitu bhaiyya was good but couldn't be utilised properly. Anu ji is a great actor and always impresses. Rest of the actors were substandard and unable to do justice with their roles. The director thought to carry the whole film on jitu bhaiyya and Anu Kapoor ji's shoulders but failed. I'll not call the movie disaster but a boring one. I had high hopes but shattered completely. It's a okayish movie and can be skipped if you have other priorities in life!
That's all. Sayonara!

Those who have seen the old Bihar means the Bihar before alcohol was banned. They will like the movie.
The biggest positive aspect of the movie is that it has the full flavor of countryman. If you watch the movie, you will feel like you are in Bihar. But the movie did not stand up because of the bad storyline. Very messy script. But the movie could have been better.
Jitendra kumar is very good actor but his personality doesn't go well with the character of this movie. The movie is too loud at some places. The success rate would have increased if it had a more funny twist.
But Annu Kapoor is different from everyone. As well as good. The script did not hinder his performance.
In the movie, the good side is less and the bad side is seen more.

Loved the acting of Jitendra .initially, it was hard to accept his drunk character after watching his previous series / movie. Overall good movie & good message to the society , specially in some rural areas where the story is still very much true.

Salute to Jitendra for an absolutely amazing performance. This man should be given more opportunities in bollywood. In my opinion, the plot is very simple: The actress: Shriya, is pregnant with the kid of Jitendra who is a drunk thug, when he realises his kid will be aborted, he decides to ban alcohol. That's it.
The cast and their presence on the screen is absolutely insane. Jitendra makes you cry, laugh, and has constantly remained in the character of a drunk man without any effort. Screen play is also brilliant. The director has touched on many sensitive topics in a very intelligent way and it's commendable.
Much needed film to raise the standard of Indian cinema.
The movie has so many surprises, drama, emotion, message and commentary on current state of politics in India. Don't miss it.

It has been tried before in the movie, A lot of times where the gray character of the beginnings has to do right and ideal things because he is forced to do so somehow. Take an example of Ghulam Amir Khan the thug slowly turning into the ideal person. However in "Dry day" the reminiscence of "GUIDE" can be seen where a crooked is forced to go on hunger strike and ultimately changes the course of the story.
The place where the story faulters is the loose editing (lot of unwanted sequence with no consequential effect on the story still in the movie), music ( no mention-worthy songs) and the motive of the story which is attached to gannu's wife. Shreya Pilgaonkar's motive, her persuasion in the beginning seems forced and subsequently diluting the chemistry between.
Story of an alcoholic leading the alcohol ban petition, interesting move but alas lacked the depth and study.
