Krantiveer – No Revolution
August 23, 2010 by funk · View Comments
Welcome back to the era when heroes shouted long and loud to get audience’s attention. This time around we have a heroine who plays the shrieking star and daughter of our original Krantiveer, Nana Patekar.
Our Krantiveer follows in her father’s footsteps and is keen on exposing all the corrupt politicians. She is a hot shot reporter and tries to expose the politicians, businessmen and any other suspicious person by carrying out sting operations.
This movie tries to focus on youth who should take charge of the country as it is currently being run by old politicians who are corrupt and are the reason for lack of progress in our country.
Additionally every character in the movie tries to give us individualistic meaning of the word patriotism. This movie doesn’t have a strong storyline to back up the message that was given in the first Krantiveer. Yes the director does manage to convey the importance of voting with diligence but it has not been represented with necessary punch to make any impression on the audience.
Acting wise although modern Krantiveer Jahan Bloch does appear to be confident, but loud dialogues don’t enhance her role or show off her acting ability to the fullest. Supporting actors who are well known such as Aman Verma, Farida Jalal, Muskesh Tiwari and others perform their roles with the same ease that we have become used to. None other co-stars give performances worth mentioning.
This Krantiveer doesn’t seem to have what it takes to bring about kranti in Bollywood’s downward trend.
