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.

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.

Salute to Jitendra for an absolutely amazing performance. This man should be given more opportunities in bollywood. In my opinion, the plot is very simple: The actress: Shriya, is pregnant with the kid of Jitendra who is a drunk thug, when he realises his kid will be aborted, he decides to ban alcohol. That's it.
The cast and their presence on the screen is absolutely insane. Jitendra makes you cry, laugh, and has constantly remained in the character of a drunk man without any effort. Screen play is also brilliant. The director has touched on many sensitive topics in a very intelligent way and it's commendable.
Much needed film to raise the standard of Indian cinema.
The movie has so many surprises, drama, emotion, message and commentary on current state of politics in India. Don't miss it.

I think audience is more inclined towards negative content as opposed to something that showcases social value. The film is about fight against alcohol and its impact on society especially rural areas . Since majority of the population have embraced alcohol I am not surprised about negative reviews. Any film that glorifies violence, misogyny and sexuality is watched by majority of the public. The audience are being programmed and are averse towards positivity. What is wrong with this film? It has good storyline, great performances, engaging screenplay yet people don't seem to like it. They like films where protagonist chops people off without the fear of law. I wonder where the society is heading. Such films must be encouraged.
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.
