Prakash Jha has often explored the complex relationship between the society, politics and bureaucracy in his films but this conflict is most visible in "Gangaajal", which just completed 15 years. The film and its dialogue "sab pabittar kar denge" have stayed in public memory so much so that Jha says people quote lines and point out scenes even today.

"The relationship between the society and the police is constant. It is always relevant. I did not know while writing or shooting that it will resonate so much. It must have fit correctly somewhere because a common man identifies with it, so does a policewala," Jha told PTI in an interview.
