Designed
as
a
sequel
to
the
super
successful
Krantiveer
(1994)
which
got
Nana
Patekar
the
Best
Actor,
National
Award,
Krantiveer
–
The
Revolution
(KTC)
is
a
weak
attempt
at
recreating
the
patriotic
fervor
which
the
original
had.
Roshni
(Jahan
Bloch)
is
the
young
daughter
of
the
man
responsible
for
the
last
revolution,
Pratap
Narayan
Tilak
and
his
wife
(Nana
Patekar
and
Dimple
Kapadia).
She
just
like
her
dad
wants
to
rid
the
nation
of
corruption,
and
the
evils
present
in
the
society.
She
gets
herself
a
platform
by
joining
a
TV
channel
as
an
investigative
journalist.
She
is
hell
bent
on
exposing
all
the
scams
in
the
country
including
those
involving
high
profile
businessmen
and
top
ministers.
Along
with
her
friends
Vishal
(Samir
Aftab),
Goldie
(Aditya
Singh
Rajput)
and
Uday
(Harsh
Rajput)
she
takes
this
crusade
forward
and
becomes
successful
eventually
despite
many
odds.
The
sole
reason
why
Krantiveer
was
a
success
was
because
of
KK
Singh"s
dialogues,
Nana
Patekar"s
character
and
Mehul
Kumar"s
direction.
Here
Singh
is
not
involved
with
the
project,
Nana
is
not
acting
in
the
film
and
the
veteran
director
though
having
made
a
sincere
attempt,
falls
short.
There
is
no
direct
relation
of
the
plot
to
any
of
the
26/11
terror
attack
scenes
which
come
towards
the
climax.
Though
Mehul
Kumar
has
tried
to
show
authenticity
by
using
footage
of
the
26/11
terrorists
attacks,
he
fails
to
impress
the
audiences.
His
debutante
daughter
Jahan
has
been
made
to
rant
lengthy
dialogues
from
the
word
go.
While
she
does
it
with
sincerity,
it
doesn"t
really
work.
Too
much
responsibility
has
been
given
on
her
shoulders
leaving
less
scope
for
the
rest.
New
comers
Samir
Aftab,
Adiya
Singh
Rajput,
Harsh
Rajput
put
in
their
honest
efforts
too.
Senior
actors
like
Ranjeet,
Farida
Jalal
hardly
get
any
scope
to
perform.
Aman
Verma
playing
the
corporate
head
honcho,
Mukesh
Tiwari
and
Govind
Namdeo
playing
sleazy
ministers
act
well.
Music
by
Sachin-Jigar
is
passable
and
the
songs
'Khuda
mere
khuda" and
'Chhote
tera
birthday
aaya"
work
on
screen.
But
the
songs
'Firangi
paani"
and
'Lau
jalee"
were
not
needed.
Editing
and
cinematography
don"t
match
up
to
standards.
Though
it
may
not
be
worth
an
effort
to
go
to
the
cinema
hall,
the
film
definitely
appears
like
a
genuine
attempt
to
awaken
the
young
Indians
to
come
forward
and
erase
corruption
from
our
politics.
