    Dry day

    Loved the acting of Jitendra .initially, it was hard to accept his drunk character after watching his previous series / movie. Overall good movie & good message to the society , specially in some rural areas where the story is still very much true.

    SO NON JEETU BHAIYA...

    It has been tried before in the movie, A lot of times where the gray character of the beginnings has to do right and ideal things because he is forced to do so somehow. Take an example of Ghulam Amir Khan the thug slowly turning into the ideal person. However in "Dry day" the reminiscence of "GUIDE" can be seen where a crooked is forced to go on hunger strike and ultimately changes the course of the story.

    The place where the story faulters is the loose editing (lot of unwanted sequence with no consequential effect on the story still in the movie), music ( no mention-worthy songs) and the motive of the story which is attached to gannu's wife. Shreya Pilgaonkar's motive, her persuasion in the beginning seems forced and subsequently diluting the chemistry between.

    Story of an alcoholic leading the alcohol ban petition, interesting move but alas lacked the depth and study.

    Poor story n bad screenplay

    Very poor storyline with very weak screenplay and bad direction. The characters are mostly sketchy with no depth. Jitender and Anu Kapoor have acted nicely but Shriya Pilgaonkar is just too bad. She doesn't suit the role at all. Unable to understand why any producer and director risk taking her? Can't they see her poor acting skills? The side actress, don't remember her name, the one who tried immolation was just brilliant.

    It is amazing that such huge monetary risks are taken for such a poor story... Indeed people have huge risk taking abilities.

    The only small positive or good thing in the movie is the diction used by the characters, they have carried it very nicely but not all will be able to understand this Eastern UP dialect.

    Aims too high, falls equally short

    The central theme is good.

    But it fails to elicit the emotional response from the audience. Let alone the twisty plot with excessive abusive language.

    Plot has significant loopholes in multiple characters and plot points. For example, Sattu joining the movement for far too long. Funding from Balram. Dauji's public rebuttal followed by no course of action by the public which happens to attack Gannu on arrival.

    In terms of acting, few actors went over board while most felt real.

    The film has good music scores.

    Overall, I appreciate the hard work that must have been put by everyone to make this film but the public rating is justified in terms of the short comings of the film.

    I would be surprised if you leave the theatre inspired or changed. Rather you might have mixed feelings and are left perplexed.

    The flavor of Bihar

    Those who have seen the old Bihar means the Bihar before alcohol was banned. They will like the movie.

    The biggest positive aspect of the movie is that it has the full flavor of countryman. If you watch the movie, you will feel like you are in Bihar. But the movie did not stand up because of the bad storyline. Very messy script. But the movie could have been better.

    Jitendra kumar is very good actor but his personality doesn't go well with the character of this movie. The movie is too loud at some places. The success rate would have increased if it had a more funny twist.

    But Annu Kapoor is different from everyone. As well as good. The script did not hinder his performance.

    In the movie, the good side is less and the bad side is seen more.
