Hera Pheri unlimited

Saw the verdict on Ruchika Case and Heri Pheri (1976) yesterday. While it may still be true in 2009 that `Durbaar mein uparwale ke undher nahin par deri hai', it is certainly true that `Durbaar mein neechewale ke andher bhi hai, deri bhi hai!'. Not a surprise that few victims take law in their hands, unlike in the developed world where legal system manages to cater to the most.

But what can be expected in a land where even men like Kasab are seen to be making the mockery of law and it takes years to hang the assassins of Mr Gandhi. Where does it leave the common man! No wonder, angry man Amitabh of 70s and 80s was a cult figure.
