Ek Bura Aadmi - 2013

Story

Ek Bura Aadmi is a work of fiction inspired by real life stories of well-known criminals turned politicians from the North Indian states of UP and Bihar. The film is a realistic portrayal of power politics where money and muscle play very prominent roles.

The protagonist, Munna Siddiqui is a typical small town youth who starts as a disciple of a politician practicing value-based politics but ends up being a consummate practitioner of manipulative politics. The film, while narrating the story of Munna who intends to help the downtrodden fight for their basic rights but employs questionable means to achieve these goals, raises some serious questions about the ethos of the modern Indian society and its dominant political culture.
