Anti corruption movies

There are a lot of anti corruption movies in Indian cinemas. They focus on one of the main issues facing India as a country and the world as a whole.
I recently saw "ANNIYAN", the Vikram starred Tamil Movie. "ANNIYAN" actually means one who does not belong to a place or group, one who is NOT part of  the CROWD.
Corruption affects him early as he loses his younger sister to the negligence of the PWD worker , the Electricity department lineman. Then his father loses the case in court , where their case is dismissed as that of prsonal tragedy. So the present tragedy becomes the result of the system which is negligent and corrupt.
He reads about the punishment for these evildoers in hell from a hindu scripture called Garuda Purana. Then when he grows up he punishes the corrupt and negligent people himself.



Since corruption is a main theme nowadays because of anna hazare and his protests, it is relevant to consider the root cause of corruption and consider the ultimate solution.

There is one more anti corruption which was very popular when I was a teenager. It's the movie called INDIAN. Here is a corruption scene from the movie.


The solution is both movies is violence against those who are involved in CORRUPTION .

It is in contrast to what we see today . Anna Hazare and the lokpal movement are based on non violnce and gandhian thought.
Where did Gandhi get his pacifistic thoughts from? He got it from Leo Tolstoy's works , which were based on the teachings of Christ. Gandhi too daily read the sermon on the mount and framed his life according to the teachings of Christ on those teachings, though he did not fully accept the Bible.
