A fantastic movie to hit the Indian Cinema Screens abt 2 yrs back. everytime this movie is shown on indian television, it reminds us of the legal systems that exist in this country and only if u fall into a legal battle does the durt and the political control come alive.
A hard hitting movie that makes us youngsters realise that the country needs educated people like us running it. The choices we make as citizens can influence the way the country is run. Even if each one of us over 18 votes intelligently, we can see a difference, not today not next yr but in a decade..

Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, John Abraham, Sanjay Dutt.
Viruddh is a bilingual film that addresses various issues of a common man’s plight against the system. Mahesh Manjrekar, the director has strongly denied the accusation. Now it remains to be seen how much Viruddh resembles Saaransh…
Viruddh is the story of a person (John Abraham) who accidentally witnesses a criminal act and loses his life in his attempt to intervene.
Viruddh is the story of standing up against a well-established paradigm of power in defense of his/her convictions. It is about dissent, refusal of fear and of extraordinary courage and tenacity amidst extreme pressure and adversity.
Viruddh is also about an ordinary sixty plus couple, Vidyadhar Patwardhan (Amitabh Bachchan) and Sumitra (Sharmila Tagore), who are forced to search for their faith in human values and society after the death of their only son. In this process they undergo the most testing struggle of their lives.
The ingredients of Viruddh and its theme are universally identifiable. Set in the networked and global milieu, it tells a tale that has classical elements and structure and can be relocated in almost any context.
The film expresses individual and social vulnerability in the face of a corrupt system and how this equation continues to be the same even as the ways of the society change.
The film is scheduled to release on July 22nd.
