Review of Ardh Satya

Govind Nihalini started his career with AAKROSH, he made pathbreaking films which didn't follow commercial formula. Ardh Satya is a cop film, but with a difference, being it's simplicity. The film became a benchmark and still remembered as one of the best cop films. It is seen through the eyes of Om Puri an inspector who faces problems while living an honest life. It is brilliantly handled by Nihalini. It also has several sub plots which are well handled like Naseeruddin Shah's track who plays an alcoholic suspended cop and also Om Puri's interaction with his father Amrish Puri with whom he shares a love hate relationship

Direction is superb

Om Puri is brilliant as always, he gives his best to the role and is simply brilliant, Smita Patil does well Naseeruddin Shah too is amazing, Sadashiv Amrapurkar is amazing as Rama Shetty, Amrish Puri is as always brilliant, rest are all good
