Loksatta's Jayaprakash Narayan has loved 'Bharat Ane Nenu' because it speaks of the importance of rule of law and decentralization.  "Saw the film just now at Prasad Labs along with family, many friends and colleagues. Koratala Siva has combined mass entertainment with two powerful messages to make people think: rule of law and local govts. Power shd be localized to allow people to make democracy work," JP says.  

"Wherever decisions made locally impact only local lives and not others, power should be vested entirely in local govts. Only then people understand links between voting and their lives, and taxes and services; democracy works. Kudos to Koratala Siva for the brave and successful effort," the former legislator adds.

Overwhelmed by JP's appreciation, the director says, "Appreciation from a personality like you is the highest honour, Sir. We need u to inspire us in building a better society."
