		Santoshi extracted the career best out of Meenakshi as well as his favourite Sunny in the role of a drunkard lawyer.
		Whether or not it was politically correct is debatable, but on an emotional and cinematic level, Santoshi convincingly portrayed the agony and the patriotic frenzy of the politically driven youth of the Forties.

		Santoshi recently confessed this in an interview to a section of the press, saying that he had every intention of going ahead with the film.

		Santoshi Productions' LAJJA, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, is one of those films that entertains, yes, but it also exposes the stark truth that plagues our society.
		Writer-director Rajkumar Santoshi has attempted a film that is straight out of newspaper and television headlines.

	A tale of two Bhagat Singhs
		Rajkumar Santoshi's films, on the other hand, have been a mixed bag.
		While in these films Santoshi displayed touches of sensitivity normally absent in commercial directors, his recent films have included Pukar, a jingoistic, rabidly anti-Pakistan film, for which its hero Anil Kapoor received the National Award for the Best Actor from a jury that included the editor of the mouthpiece of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
		The other, the Rajkumar Santoshi version, has sprung a surprise: contrary to the fears of sceptics including this writer, it has turned out to be well-made, historically more or less accurate, sober, and, in the context of commercial cinema, politically progressive.

		This is a film that promises plenty of punches and delivers quite a few, though not necessarily as and when you'd expect them.
		While certainly not among Rajkumar Santoshi's best (namely "Ghayal", "Ghatak", "Damini" and "Lajja"), "Family" comes up with a slyly scripted actioner (by Shridhar Raghavan/Rajkumar Santoshi) that turns the tables on the crime perpetrators of the world.
		So is Santoshi's trademark mood of clenched tension that is scattered all over the film.
