The movie takes the "Real" issue of Corruption into "Reel" life movingly fusing the facts with fiction. It is believed that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Capitalised on the film which led it to have many political gains during the elections of 2013.

In the movie Satyagraha, director Prakash Jha effectively meshes the urban angst witnessed on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook with the ground realities of India's heartland. He simply takes up a topical socio-political issue and forges a drama designed to deliver a message of import. Movie Satyagraha spares no effort to reflect the rising tide of public anger against a creaking, corrupt and callous system that treats citizens of the country like a load of dirt.

Whole of this film focuses largely on the public image of Dr. Manmohan Singh. It also touches upon the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's key milestones, like the nuclear deal and Congress President Sonia Gandhi's undisputed authority within the Congress Party.

Anupam Kher's acting is a masterstroke that is sworn-in amidst wide-ranging skepticism within the ranks. The film bravely names real characters and shows them in the light they are perceived in. It also unleashes the lack of corporate and moral ethics by Baru's character, who uses his distinct position to unravel confidential information in his book. He eventually ends up losing trust and equity with Dr. Manmohan Singh. You can definitely watch this!
