The acting by Amitabh and Sharmila was OK...not great like others on this board would have you believe.
Viruddh is movie about a middle class family fighting against a state home minister's son who mindlessly murders a pub crawling John Abraham who plays the son of Amitabh & Sharmila. The story is too small, the entire film drags, drags and drags till the end.
"Viruddh" is a very unusual film in that it's like two totally different films. The first portion is lighthearted and fun--the second extremely sad and cynical.
