Satyagraha - A multi-starrer movie with a bad plot

Satyagraha is a Bollywood flick directed by Prakash Jha, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai. The movie revolves around two friends – Ajay Devgn and Indraneil Sengupta, who are very different from each other in terms of personalities.

The akshay-john pair worked more than akshay-chitrangada or john-deepika pairs.  Chitrangada Singh was not needed in the movie at all.

If You have loads of time and want to kill it, go watch this movie, you’ll definitely waste 2.5 hours of your life out of which you may enjoy the first 45 min and the next few hours you would curse yourself to be seating in the theatre hall and watching the movie.  Anyways for guys, you can definitely watch this movie if you want to see sensual Ch...
