Anna Hazare has been agitating for social causes for a long time. If it is not against illicit liquor then it is for farmer’s cause or some other social cause. But it was the agitation toward the end of UPA’s second term amidst economic turmoil and waning government credibility that Anna found his spot in the limelight.
A part of the movie is shot in Ralegan Siddhi which is Anna Hazare’s reidence. The other major chunk focuses on his agitation against corruption that surfaced during UPA government.

ANNA Movie Review
The first half of the film depicts the early life of Kisan Baburao Hazare and creates a backdrop of the thoughts and ideals of the man. Anna Hazare has no doubt become the most famous, if not always revered, social activist of our times. Although he has been fighting for one cause or other, his moment in the limelight is tied with the likes of Kiran bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and others.
The absence of all these important characters in the movie as it culminates into the struggle for Lok Janpal bill in Delhi is curious. The movie shows multiple facets of this man, but fails to inspire the audiences or make them feel any emotion through all the proceedings. In an unashamed attempt to make him a Hero, the movie loses the essence of the real man who has fought for many over the years.
Overall, you will think of Anna Hazare much more if you don’t watch this movie. Wait for a month, and this one will make its way to your TV sets.
