Thanks for writing more on Ardh Satya. I chose Ardh Satya over Aakrosh as I wanted to limit the no. of films I listed. Aakrosh has a stunner of a performance, but Ardh Satya took on a more important role in Indian cinema. Hey Amit, welcome! Thanks for writing more on Ardh Satya.

Bollywood movies copied that depiction, amplified it, pumped in melodrama and made it larger-than-life; and then ran away with it, with countless movies using the same plot till it became cliché. So, Nihalani's film was a trend-setter in the history of Indian cinema. His earlier movies are easily the best among Indian films, and he got amazing performances (रोंगटे खड़े हो जाते हैं) from Om Puri (Ardh Satya, Aakrosh). “Ardh Satya” was path-breaking by being one of the first movies that depicted the criminal-politician nexus in Hindi films, and an honest cop up against it.
