This movie is based upon the atrocities on uneducated scheduled classes and backword classes in indian society. A very good piece to watch tactics of poverful persons to grab pover in society. Movie reflects compulsions of backword classes against upper class mexus.Salute to Prakash Jha for such a masterpiece.
