Priyanka chopra is too sophisticated unmade up make up is very distracting, even in her few convincing moments. And the film goes on for far too long, even when we know how all of it will end. The best part about Jai Gangaajal, director Prakash Jha latest foray into the country’s badlands, is a surprise acting turn by Jha himself as a corrupt cop with a latent conscience, Jha looks as if he was been this all in his life, so comfortable is he in front of the camera.
Too bad you cant say the same for the leading lady. As the take charge police woman in a tough posting. Priyanka Chopra comes off as dressed for the part and stilted. You can see she trying hard, especially in some of the action sequence in which she has to kick and punch and thrash, but she is far too smooth for this part. Everything else in this sequel of Gangaajal, which replaces the khaki clad Ajay Devgun with Priyanka Chopra, and pouring acid in the eye with a hanging from the nearest tree, post or fan, falls srictly in the seen before category. Bankipur is a village over run by greedy politicians, bikey huy cops and self serving locals, could be any Jha gaon from his previous films.
