HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Viruddh: Movie Review22nd July 2005 21.40 IST By Nitika Desai Viruddh is a touching movie that tells the tale of an elderly couple who take on the corrupt system to get justice for the killing of their only son. Amitabh Bachchan and Sharmila Tagore , coming together on screen after many years, are the main protagonists of this movie directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and produced by Bachchan’s company ABCL. John Abraham and Sanjay Dutt play marginal roles. 
The first half of the movie takes you into the world of Vidyadhar Patwardhan (Amitabh Bachchan) and his wife Sumitra (Sharmila Tagore). A couple in their sixties, Vidyadhar and Sumitra’s lives are marked with banter, light humor, subtle emotions and their future dreams of their son Amar (John Abraham) who returns from London with a British girlfriend. The ideal world of the Patwardhans turns upside down when Amar witnesses a crime and is killed when he intervenes. Shattered by the sudden death of their 27-year-old son, Vidyadhar and Sumitra now have a mammoth task at their hands. They seek justice for the killing of their son and seek to clear his name from the accusations that he was a drug peddler. It is in this struggle many aspects of the special bond between Vidyadhar and Sumitra come to the fore – their love, trust, support and confidence in each other. Viruddh is a fine attempt to sketch the lives of two bereaving people coming to terms with the loss of their son. The movie brings forth their plight and helplessness against a callous, corrupt system and shows their unflinching determination to fight against all odds to get justice. To an extent, Manjrekar succeeds in bringing forth on the screen and make the audience feel the very pain and plight of the aged couple. Thankfully, he shuns over-dramatization of emotions and deliberate placement of tear-jerking situations. The emphasis, rather, is on the realistic depiction of the story.
