Our take

Govind Nihalani’s striking debut feature is an evocative take on caste discrimination and the systemic exploitation of those less privileged. Written by Vijay Tendulkar, Aakrosh features one of Om Puri’s finest performances as the lead character who only expresses his plight through his eyes.
