[edit] Reveiw

The irony of the situation is that the film's title itself suggests that it's a patriotic movie and it portrays three honest police officers fighting corruption. Some of the noted actors have been cast in the film and the producer and the director have left no stone unturned to show skin, much to the disgust of Oriyas. Bande Utkal Janani, was supposed to be a social, action-oriented drama. But it is a terrible movie. Even the songs are not good. The only exception in the film is Minaketan (the main villain). His portrayal of a corrupt politician who uses rustic language certainly deserves accolade.^[3]

[edit] Music

In this movie the songs are completely modern in nature. lyrics by Bapu Goswami, Panchanana Nayak and Bijaya Malla. Music arrangement has been done by Nityashri Ranjan. To make it appealing to youth all songs have been done by keyboard sequencing. Abhijit Majumdar has sang a song. He is the first composer after Late Sri Akshaya Mohanty to sing a song in a film for another music composer.^[7]
