Apaharan (2005)

the audience applauded

Let's be realistic.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This movie reminds of Vaastav just because of the gangster aspect but otherwise a totally differently treated movie...All aspects are great but performances, dialogues and direction was the highlight of the narrative. Nana Patekar was fantastic as the villain and casting Ajay Devgn was the best decision as no one else could have done the part with conviction as he did...He deserved all the accolades for this role. Prakash Jha, take a bow sir for giving us two of your best works, ie, Gangaajal and Apaharan. Didnt liked Rajneeti that much but these two I can see innumerable number of times because of everything being so perfect. A must watch if u are a Devgn or a Nanas fan.

This movie is amazing for me. Ajay Devgan's acting is so fully confident and smart. I love this movie very much. Everyone who play his/her role in this movie is so lucky. Ajay's Serious Acting is so woderful and i really like this movie very much. when Ajay say No to Bipasha I appreciate for this scene because a really men didn't get anything from Any girl. Nana play also very good role and bipasha is also good. Hair style and dressing of ajay is so beautiful and he was looking very beautiful in this movie. I wanna say to that Ajay got the best actor award for this movie. Story and camera work is also very nice. I wanna give lot of thanks to mr. prakash jha for making the two great movies. No.1 is Apaharan (Ajay Devgon) No.2 is Gangajal (Ajay Devgan)

According to how I see it,no one else could have directed the movie other than Prakash Jha himself,and no other actor could have portrayed the role of Ajay Shastri better than Ajay Devgan. The movie has a strong and realistic plot.Just like Gangaajal,his previous movie,Prakash Jha has chosen to depict Bihar's social problems on the silver screen. Apharan is more realistic than Gangaajal,but there is less scope for performances.Nana Patekar is brilliant as the ruthless convicted politician.He had won a popular award too for that role.Ajay Devgan is flawless in his portrayal of a young student aspiring to be a cop in the corrupt society,but circumstances force him to be on the wrong side of the law.Bipasha Bau is no more than an eye-candy.Mohan Agashe is great too. Overall,this movie is well-directed,well-acted and has a good script to boast of.Such movies can alter the face of Indian commercial cinema is they are stopped being called as mere "off-beat" or "parallel" cinema. Prakash Jha's improved,and the maturity shows on the screen.If you thought Gangaajal was great,wait till you watch Apharan.

This movie is really a good one....... after Gangajal, Prakash Jha again brought the truth prevailing in Bhiar on screen.... The movie makes u think what is going on in this heartbreaking corrupt political scenario........ acting showed the power of the actors for which they should be well rewarded............ This time the language was more towards physical rather than dialog delivery........ the power statements laid with eyes by Ajay Devgan & Nana Patekar impressed many....... this movie is surely gonna be hit at box office. i think Indians should go and watch this movie so that they get a view of what all can happen with power and money and especially in states like Bihar.....
