The just released movie Satyagraha, has been directed by noted film director Prakash Jha. The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor.
This movie it is widely claimed, is inspired by the India against Corruption movement led by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal.
The movie portrays the uprising of ordinary citizens against a corrupt and powerful government indifferent to the pain of the common man, who is getting crushed under oppression. It takes us back to August, 2011 when the whole nation had come out on the streets of India. The public demanded that the government should make a strong law against corruption; the Jan Lokpal Bill.
Although many aspects of the story and the characters have been changed, it is very clear that this fiction borrows heavily from events that transpired in real time.
This film resonates the message of people's power and the need to rise and fight back against injustice and oppression, using Mahatma Gandhi’s method of ‘Satyagraha’ or nonviolent resistance.
The movie ends with the message that the fight would now have to be fought from within the system.
