There’s only one way ALIGARH goes, the Manoj Bajpayee way. The actor is all-consuming in his portrayal of Shrinivas Siras. It’s as though Bajpayee has sliced the character of Siras to insert himself in. What comes out is performance of the highest caliber, something Bollywood can be proud of, something that is not always seen on screen.
This is education in motion for those wanting to do a character study of an actor who has subjected his existence wholly to a character.
