The only problem with the movie was casting and I believe all will agree with me who has seen the movie. Priyanka is not at all the right choice. She is good in an interview but acting in a movie any movie is not at all her cup of tea maybe some specific roles but she is not at all a versatile actress she is not even an actress.
Film looks like a remake of Gangajal instead of a sequel. Although it's not a sequel technically, it absorbs a good amount of theme from the last version. Story is well scripted once again but not very gripping and exciting. I'd rather prefer to see Gangajal again. But it gains a good pace towards the end of first half and bleakly manages to create its own identity.
It has been underplayed by all the actors and that is the best part of the movie. Prakash Jha was amazing from the start and maintained a perfect body language throughout. Priyanka Chopra was certainly above average and delivered a decent performance. Manav Kaul as the prime villain is also a good watch.
This movie remains a Prakash Jha show where he does everything from writing, acting and directing. This brings down the direction levels a little bit but still the goodness of the movie lies in the repeat of a wonderful direction.
There's a good support of an enthralling background score.
Overall, a Prakash Jha show, where he manages an above average performance in all acting, writing and direction.

Jai Gangajal is totally a PRAKASH JHA movie, literally. He at 64 makes the most promising debut by an actor in recent times. The movie is no match to its predecessor but Priyanka Chopra's honest performance as Abha Mathur does make up for all the loopholes in the story. Much like Gangaajal the movie makes an attempt to focus on the socially relevant topics like land grabbing, farmer suicides, rape etc. Manav Kaul is the villain of the season but you do miss the presence of Prakash Jha regulars like Mukesh Tiwari, Ayub Khan, Yashpal Sharma who really add a touch of realism to such political dramas. Overall a good watch that could have been a great sequel to a cult movie like Gangajal.

Jai Gangaajal (U/A) Hindi ----------- my Rating: ★★★ SAME OLD POLITICAL DRAMA STRENGTHS:- * First half was awesome with crisp editing.... * Prakash Jha's performance from start till end.... * Camera-work and Direction WEAKNESSES:- * Second half was extreme draggy * Boring songs and background score... FINAL VERDICT: * Overall.. it is a one time watch movie with some good performances of priyanka and prakash jha... Priyanka comes in very less portions even tough she the lead... It is same about old village political drama. One thing is guarantee in Prakash jha movie, he covers 200 people in one shot. too much crowded. Just watch it for once. A newly appointed Senior Inspector finds herself against very powerful goons and having people from her own department against her.

Same storyline on which Prakash Jha is always focused at. This movie echoes society and the corrupt governing policy for personal gain, same as his other previous movies. As a sequel it's a so-so representation, Priyanka Chopra as Abha Mathur is spot on. And yet again Prakash Jha on silver screen, this time as a full time character lacks certain expression and acting, could have been more better. But he was able to pull it off this time as inspector B N Singh. On the whole the storyline is nothing unexpected, it has it's own thrills, twist and turns. This time Priyanka did a appreciable job,but Prakash Jha failed to create a wonder.
