Firstly,I'd like to know more about this director Tigmanshu Dhulia.And why hasn't any producer taken notice of his talent till now.The lad has made such a fine movie that from what I see,this has put the Oscar winners to shame!And no freaking major recognitions for this movie in the country in which it was made and also which it has depicted so perfectly in its lens.Such movies are hard to make,and probably even tougher to get recognised.Isn't it?Irfan Khan has broken all the acting fronts through his debut performance as Ranvijay Singh,a wannabe politician,who takes up against the reigning student leader in his university,the character being portrayed so flawlessly by Ashutosh Rana.Irfan Khan has immortalised the character and the movie itself,at least in the hearts and brains of the ones who've seen this flick.Despite hailing from the state of Rajasthan,he's played the part of a UP guy and perfected the accent so easily,it makes you stand up,take notice and applaud the efforts.Jimmy Sheirgill is good as the lead,but Hrishita Bhatt leaves a lot to be asked.She was arguably the weakest link in the movie,which was dominated by the great performances and the dialogues of its characters.When I saw this movie,I became Irfan Khan's fan,and I can assure the same fate for any other cinema lover!This movie is as realistic as it can get and I simply love that for Indian cinema.

this is one of those rare movies... which makes you feel good from the inside... it makes you feel.. that there are still some directors in India.. who make movies with Jigar.. not the K3G Panzy with a Z stuff.... this is one of those movies.. wherein.. you would not want to go to your grave.. without having watched it.

Rajput vs. Pandits.. at its best...

more than anything.. the dialogs and their delivery is something to be applauded...the way the story unfolds.. the power of student politics... the beating of the CM with Chappals.. by the youth leader.. it is very very gratifying...

best dialog: Jaan SE Na Mar Dena.. Magar Itna Marna.. Ita Marna.. Ki Tumhaari Jaan Ko Lage Ki Tumhe Jan Hai...

Rana / Khan / Murad / support cast... classic... could have easily.. done without the love pair....jimmy/Bhatt... :-)

i am surprised... Dhulia.. has not directed... anything post.. Charas... feed us dude..

Ranvijayaaaaa.... nice.

This movie is special for me as during our undergrad days, we were asked to learn each and every dialogue of this movie in ragging. I still remember 80% of the dialogue. Movie shows underbelly of College elections and how it impacts the students. One off of the best work of Irfan Khan.

Pros: Great script awesome acting well directed

Cons: Couple of unnecessary songs.

Its a cult movie , i have watched it numerous times , can watch again.

This is only kind of such movie made in Indian cinema. This movie truly replicates and speaks about mind and mindset of students in northern part of India (not in metros). The efforts put by director/writer Tigmanshu Dhulia can't be measured by just few awards. A lot of research (or say no research was required because every scene looks so natural) has been done behind each and every scene in the movie. Most of the actors in the movie are stage performers and they have given their best shots in the movie. No doubt this is the best movie of the best (?) actor in India after Kamal Hasan. Performance given by Jimmy Shergil and even Hrishita Bhatt is par above than so called superstars of Indian Hindi cinema. I recommend everyone to watch this movie at least once.
