Save for a couple of states in the country, Prakash Jha's controversy-ridden film Aarakshan released today to scathing reviews.

In a screening held last evening at Cinemax Versova, the cast of the film was present with the director.

Deepika Padukone, who stars opposite Saif Ali Khan in the film, arrived draped a magnificent Sabyasachi sari.
