Showcasing the combat towards injustice and misuse of energy, Satyameva Jayate 2 serves us a montage of done-to-death scenes that give the movie’s lead heroes — John Abraham and John Abraham — an opportunity to fulfil their pledge to root out corruption. From docs at a authorities hospital sitting on a strike, children dying as a result of meals poisoning and lack of oxygen, to a flyover collapsing or a woman setting herself on hearth after being raped by a politician’s son, Zaveri has copied and pasted cliched tropes from the 80s. That’s not what you name a tribute. And to imagine that at the moment’s audiences would take pleasure in this with equal zeal or have takers for this type of cinema, is sort of the courageous thought.
