Aligarh

A must see flick! Bajpai has delivered a restrained performance and yet he brings out the innocence and purity of Prof. Siras's soul. The pain and anguish can be seen in his eyes and his attire and body language for a 64 yr man was just too good. this is method acting at its peak! this is a performance even Jack Nicholson, tom hanks or a Daniel Day Lewis would be proud of. his performance will haunt you for long. the direction and screenplay is also brilliant and the way in which the subject was handle has to be appreciated. his soliloquy while listening to Lata Mangeshkar is brilliant. The court scenes and argument were well written and filmed. Rajkumar Rao as journalist has also done justice to his role. the pace has been kept deliberately a little which allows you to get to the skin of characters. the ending though sad leaves an ever lasting impression. All in all one of the great movies of our time!
