I mean sure it suffers from the Indian director's bollywood fascination to overplay melodrama but Scoop still deserves a 5 star for attempting to be a voice for helpless, innocent victim of the system of powerfuls and doing a fairly classy job.
No matter how far we have come with the rise of economy and technology, this real life story is a stark reminder, those who hold power can go to any extent to remain powerful even today.
Social activists, journos, any honest man or a woman has no chance against the system.
This is why India is no place for the honest, hard working man. If you happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, you could still pay a heavy price here!
