apart from pamkaj kapur and a few good moments by Ajay and Vidya, this movie is a complete waste of time. It tries to convey a message but the I guess the message was too big for the director and the script to hanlde.
Even though some of the material could be old or some dialogues cliched, it is an excellent effort by the cast and Santoshi to bring about the film and show it to the audience. Ajay and Pankaj have done an excellent job. It is good to see one of the best actors like Pankaj kapur provided with a part that more mainstream audience can see and appreciate. Vidya Balan and rest of the cast are appropriate and do not crowd the film with unnecessary stories. The movie is focussed on a flawed individual seeking internal courage to raise voice. We need such movies now and then to remind us of the responsibilities that we must take for our society. I wish it had a better fairing at the box office.
Also, i saw how well am njoyying Hard-hitting movie like HALLA BOL. thats because all these yrs i put lotz of expectation in AJAY & other MAVERICK directors like Santoshi, RVG, PJHA etc. and every time i felt they fell short of my expectation, i started hating their moviess & finally i thought good to go BACK TO BASICS. hence started watching such realistic movies as a common man & now am again njoying the movies. really HALLA BOL ROCKS. :)
