An international award-winning film on police corruption andbureaucratic apathy in India that can never really be forgotten or ignored... afilm on the administration’s indifference and insensitivity that will make youthink and bring tears to your eyes! The most eagerly awaited and anticipatedreality film, 'Kya Yahi Sach Hai' based on the best-selling novel 'Carnage byAngels' written by IPS officer Y.P. Singh (while still in office but since thenhe has resigned) is ready for release. The film recounts an autobiographicalaccount of how social activists like Anna Hazare and Medha Patkar amongst manyothers tried their best to stand with Y. P. Singh but the powerful and thewicked had their way and 2 years after writing the novel he had to leave theIPS.
'Kya Yahi Sach Hai' is a hard-hitting film arousing enormousemotions and reactions. Shot in authentic locales, this 2 hours 20 minutes longfilm narrates a first-hand account of the powerful stories, which run throughthe bureaucracy and the police administration. The thinly veiled account ofcorruption and callousness, which prevails in our system sends shudders downthe spine of the viewers and makes them contemplate amidst surging emotionsscintillating music.
Talking about the film, Y. P. Singh says, “It was the year 1990when I had just joined as the police chief of Wardha District of Maharashtraand had my first brush with police corruption. As the years rolled by, I couldsee corruption in all its facets spread all over. Almost everyone gotinterested in paid postings which gave the officer full freedom to earn bribesfrom the innocent public, without any fear from seniors. It was in thosemoments of anguish that I decided to write this reality-based novel – ‘Carnageby Angels’. But by doing that I had invited my doom in the IPS. The powerfulgot after me the big way. But it was my resolve to see that the truth comes outwide and open before the people.”
Y. P. Singh adds, “‘Kya Yahi Sach Hai’ is a very high contentreality film, which grips the viewer lapping up the film with bated breath.Even though the film is of 2 hours and 20 min yet, when the film gets over thepeople think that it has just started. IT IS PLAINLY THE POWER OF THE SCRIPTUNLEASHED. Since the script is highly original and is based primarily on thecharacter artists, hence it was decided to take powerful actors rather thanstars so as to maintain the integrity and enormous power of the script.Needless to add that time has come where, just like in Hollywood, we need topromote intellectualism of the country, rather than to degrade it with formulafilms and cheap comedies. With this film we intend to launch a mission –Protect the honest to remove corruption.”
Unlike other police films – ‘Kya Yahi Sach Hai’ is a non-actionfilm driven by intense emotions. Raghu Kumar is a young trainee Indian PoliceService (IPS) officer. During the course of his training, he is being taughtcycle patrolling in the streets when the head constable giving training comesout with certain startling revelations. This head constable gives an honestconfession about his largely corrupt activities in the detection branch ofKotwali Police Station and how one incident changed his life, and which madehim give up corruption and take to honesty. Overwhelmed in emotions, this IPSofficer and his wife resolve not to earn bribes in the police as that would bean unforgivable sin – A Carnage by Angels! But as this officer goes to thedistrict police in Kolhapur and then to Mumbai police, he starts confrontingthe real picture. What he saw was a profound nexus of police, bureaucrats,power-brokers, and politicians – all hidden by the glittering curtain of"Rule of Law" and administrative sophistication. As this emotionalstory unfolds, what emerges in the film is a graphic narration of intrigue,deceit, sex, love and money in the world of glamour, police, bureaucracy,politicians, citizens, corporate bodes, powerbrokers, doctors and media.
