Review of Jaago

Jaago (2004)
7/10
Good, thought-provoking film
8 April 2004
This movie has a shocking subject--child rape. The scene and aftermath of the 9 year-old's rape is disturbing. What shocked me even more is that this subhuman act happens often. The director is excellent as all the actors gave wonderful performances. This is another feather in Raveena's cap of sensational art movies. After Daman and Satta, she once again does a terrific job in her powerful role. She does a good job of portraying maternal love and instincts. Manoj Bajpai also did a great job. Sanjay Kapoor acted well for a change. It was interesting how this obviously, vehemently immoral act became intertwined with the political scene and how politicians were utilizing this tragedy for selfish reasons. I am glad there were no songs in this film as they had no place and would have just disrupted the flow of the movie.
