EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Time for a change, time to bring a difference, time to voice your opinion, time to shout for pride, glory and self-respect. All this and more is the theme of Raj Kumar Santoshi’s latest flick Halla Bol, starring top notch actors like Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan and Pankaj Kapoor.

Halla Bol displays the identity of a human which is masked by the glossy image of fame and comes to its real avtar when its conscience calls.

The storyline of Halla Bol revolves around Sameer Khan (Ajay Devgan). Quick success in the stardom spoils Sameer as he forgets his modesty and humbleness. Sameer’s character is presented in a very realistic manner, personifying the stereotypical image of a film star in Bollwood.

During a celebrity party, the insecurity in Sameer props out when he witnesses his female fan, being shot by two young guns. He backs out of the crunch situation, by not helping the dying lady. Moreover, he even backs out to become a prime witness of the high profile murder.

All the witnesses of the high profile murder turn hostile and defer from their statements. Ultimately, Sameer rises against the blues and decides to divulge with the truth in the court. All the odds are against him, he has developed new enemies.
