Jana Gana Mana - Movie

 The movie begins with the rape and murder of a popular college lecturer and slowly becomes a courtroom drama. It captures elements of campus life as we experienced in police atrocities in JNU, caste system and how lower caste scholars are subjected to discrimination leading to suicides as seen in the Rohith Vemula death (many lines are taken from his suicide letter) and other deaths in Universities and mostly the encounter killing of four suspects of a rape of a dental student in Hyderabad bowing to popular and political pressure by cops (the cop who plays him is called Sajjan Kumar). The film connects all the incidents but makes a point on how the system is working, failing. Gripping.
