‘Jai Gangaajal’ movie review

‘Jai Gangaajal’: A filmmaker’s attempt to purify the system

Prakash Jha's "Jai Gangaajal", a sequel to his 2003 film "Gangaajal", is a social drama which attempts to expose the rampant corruption in the police force and highlights the triumph of good over evil. Set in Bankipur in Bihar, the tale revolves around the malpractices and unlawful activities of Vidhayak Bablu Pandey, a local politician, (Manav Kaul) and his younger brother W Patel (Ninad Kamat). They have unleashed a reign of terror on the villagers, as they have a firm grip over the police force and most senior police officers are on their pay rolls, including B.N. Singh aka Circle Babu (Prakash Jha).
