  • "A couple in their sixties are devastated when their only son, who has just returned from London with this fiancee, is killed in a fight."
  • "An account of one man's battle against a paradigm of power."
  • ""Manjrekar skillfully turns what starts off as a sensitive look at a father-son relationship into a stark account of one man's battle against a paradigm of power. By cleverly transforming the typically mighty Bachchan into a vulnerable old man, he manages to highlight the film's moral of truth triumphing over power."--BBC.co.uk."

  • "Vidyadhar Patwardhan lives a middle-class life with his wife, Sumitra. Their son Amar, who lives in London returns home with Jenny Mayer, his fiancée. While the parents are busy preparing for a surprise birthday party for Amar, Amar gets himself killed in a fight. A devastated Vidyadhar and Sumitra arrange for his funeral, and thereafter follow-up with the police as to the conviction of the killer, who has been identified as Harshvardhan Kadam. The police version is quite different from that of Vidyadhar. Subsequently, two men are killed in a police encounter, after confessing that they had killed Amar over a fight over drugs. Then Jenny is arrested for possession of drugs and lodged in a cell. She is subsequently released, and returns home to London. The trial begins and ends with the judgment that Harshvardhan is not guilty, leaving Vidyadhar and Sumitra questioning whether Amar & Jenny were really involved in drugs, or is it all being made to appear that he was."
  • ""Viruddh is a story of a person who accidentally witnesses a criminal act and loses his life in his attempt to intrevene. Viruddh is a story of standing up against a well established paradigm of power in defense of his/her convictions. It is about dissent, fear of fear and of extraordinary courage and tenacity under extreme pressure and adversity"--Container."
