There was huge hue& cry before release of this movie because everyone thought it is against reservation. Anti-reservation forces –the middle class was anticipating that the movie will provide momentum against the reservation policy. But it was shock & surprise for them that in the movie the hatred faced by the low caste people is exposed.
Amitabh Bachhan played a role of principal who is from higher caste & he favours the policy of reservation. He plays the role of honest princilal who is impartial when it comes to matter of caste. Manoj Balpayee played a role of corrupt professor who utilizes the sentiments against the reservation for his own profit. Saif Ali Khan is a lower caste who is in love with Deepika padukone . Pratik Babbar has played a role of high caste youth. Everyone has done justice to their roles.
Finally the movie did not become hit at box office. The reason is that the movie was not in favour of the so called Indian middle class who is antio-reservationist. Overall Prakash has to be praised for his brave attempt to show the hatred by the high caste people against the lower caste people in a small manner. Actuallly this hatred is much more in practice by higher caste students & professors.
