Aakrosh

This is a Priyadarshan movie. I was definitely hoping for much better.
Aakrosh is a take on honour killings (details). The concept is good. The presentation is good doesn't give you the much required goosebumps though and is patchy.
The performances are okish. Paresh Rawal has done a superb role as a corrupt, law non-enforcing policeman. He plays his wart so well, you almost wish he was killed. It reminds me of his early days in the film industry, where he was always cast as a villain. It was only after Hera Pheri that he started getting roles as a comedian. Ajay Devgan, was good. But I would say there was nothing different or new in his performance skills. Akshaye Khanna, not sure what he calls acting. Bipasha was hardly there, she only had to cry and yell, but yes she did a good job. Reema Sen has played her part well. Specially the scene where she tries to report the killer after her tongue has been cut off.
The characters were not built up really well. The story just starts and then it appears that parts of the movie have been stuck together to somehow carry it on. The item song with Sameera Reddy? Why was it put there and who wrote the songs? Who choreographed it? Was it even a teeny weeny bit like an item number? Totally not needed here, as there were already so many things that were not working for the movie.
The concept was good, could have been made better.
