Perfect cast and a good story

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Fulke
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

"Jai Gangajal" is a sequel Prakash Jha's much acclaimed "Gangajal" released in 2003. Lately, the film saw a lot of criticism despite a hype created through its promos. The film is not a wash-out, it does have its merits; but by the end, it's not more than a regular Bollywood flick with an overdose of action and improbabilities. A village entirely ravaged by the fear of the goons and a ferocious lady superintendent, trying to regulate law and order against the corrupt officials form the crux of the movie, which has been seen umpteenth of times in movies. Priyanka Chopra performs the role well and presents it with a glamour. But the face that attracts more in the movie is Prakash Jha, who debuts in this movie as a corrupt official. However, influence of Nana Patekar is seen in his performance. Besides a contrived plot, the film also drags at times and could have been trimmed a bit. There is also an over dramatization of sequences added to the screen. Hence, good performances and a good direction merely save it and make it a watchable movie.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 2.3/5 starsIt's been thirteen long years since the release of Prakash Jha's classic crime drama, the cop film Gangaajal. That's about where the similarities between the Ajay Devgn and Priyanka Chopra-starrer end. Jai Gangaajal is neither a direct sequel of its predecessor nor does it pack as many gut-wrenching punches as the first film did. Does Priyanka make an impact as a cop charged with handling an entire jurisdiction? She certainly does. Does Prakash Jha make a convincing debut as an actor? Or boy, you bet he does. Does the film live up to the lofty standards of the 2003 classic and Prakash Jha's direction in general? Umm
not so much.Like most of Jha's films, this one too is based in the hinterlands of Bihar where some unscrupulous politician types are oppressing and hacking some helpless villager types. Unlike most of his films, the atrocities suffered by the villagers come across as coerced for the sake of shock value rather than something that takes the plot forward. Amidst all this is one of the region's main cops, B.N. Singh (Prakash Jha), who does have the guts and shrewdness of an astute policeman to set things right, but would rather pander to the miscreants for a share in the pie.Thrust into this volatile scenario is Abha Mathur (Priyanka) the district's first ever female S.P. She's as ballsy as she's sharp, and is in no mood of letting the most powerful of evildoers get away even with an inch of unlawful behavior. This incenses the land's main thug, Babloo Pandey (Manav Kaul) and his brother, Dabloo (Ninad Kamat), resulting in several heated confrontation between the three thereafter. How Mathur deals with these offenders; whether she is able to restore some semblance of law and order to the land; do the villagers finally get justice; and does Singh finally have a change of heart forms the rest of the film's narrative.While the above elements may seem like a step in the right direction to take Gangaajal's legacy forward – beside being something Jha is known to handle adeptly – the problems begins when Jha and his writers try to cram too many issues in the screenplay. Everything from land- grabbing to farmer suicides to political alliances and more has been touched upon without elaborating on any single point. The outcome is a tad messy film that disappoints when so much more was expected form the combination of Jha and Chopra.Priyanaka, who's on a roll with her Hollywood projects, proves yet again why she's our most convincing actress in action scenes and while delivering tough dialogues. Sadly, the script doesn't allow her to shine enough. Kaul and Kamat are effectively menacing as the villainous sibling and Jha impresses every step of the way. If only, the proceedings on screen unfolded as evenly as their performances.Alas, Jai Gangaajal will go down as a film with some good punch- lines, few emotional moments, believable raw action, and nothing much else.

Enjoyable Indians vs corruption tale. The bad guys are the politicians, the corporations and the majority of the police force who have beaten down an agricultural town and have used their power to steal the land from the population to build a power station. The situation changes when a new officer under the selection of a government officer moves into the territory, instead of bowing to the whims of the corrupt politicians and turning a blind eye to the brutality of goons she takes them on using the force of the law.The lead actress Priyanka Chopra plays SP Abha Mathur the honest Inspector who takes on MLA Babloo Pandey (Manav Kaul), chief land grabber (Ninad Kamat) and finds herself having to protect the rights of the bad guys has she tries to find out the truth about a series of brutal hangings. The script works well and does not fall back on lazy moments of comedy sidekicks and long drawn out dance numbers, Yes there are songs in the film but they are used emphasise scenes. The cinematography is good and this viewer could see how well it captured a dying town and a beaten people.This film uses its actors well and the characters though clichéd are good especially Prakash Jha (also the director)as the corrupt police officer, whose conscience is finally opened to what hes condoned.The only disappointment is the run of the mill ending.
