I quite liked the solo 'nautanki' song sequence in the movie Gangaajal. I thought it was very original, rustic and authentic.I admit that almost all the reviews that are on the web have found the song sequence either superfluous or... Full review

Movie is amazing, the movie depicts what actual liberalism stands for. What democracy stands for, and depicts the advantage of living in a civilize form of government. If we do not take care of the values that make us unique... Full review

Murali Chari - imdb.com
Gangajal is a dark and ultra-violent movie; darker than Ardh Satya, more violent than Shool.In the end, the hero lives to survive another day and the villains die. But I would not call it a happy ending. The line between... Full review

When it comes to depicting violence,Hindi Movies have an edge. The savagery is mind boggling but it is the candid depiction is what is more disturbing. Prakash Jha as a Director and Screen-writer needs to be credited for his potential... Full review

While Gangaajal doesn't have anything original to say, it is well shot, well edited and brilliantly enacted by most of the lead actors. But it is heartening to watch Jha's hero keep his idealism intact to the very end and not cop out and go on a killing spree like most other noble filmi policemen do in the name of justice. ...

Finally, Prakash Jha in his seventh film again aroused a very important issue. As through out the film, the spectators will observe horrible fighting, bombing, fire, and total atrocities. ... Full Review

If you overlook the loosely handled Rahul (2001) and the formulaic Bandish (1996), Prakash Jha has had a track record of thought-provoking, meaningful cinema throughout.....f 1979-1980 (where more than 30 hardcore under-trails were ruthlessly blinded by the cops) without making the film look pedantic or documentary-like..... ...
