So, back to the movie.
Its based on the Chittagong conspiracy and built from excerpts narrated by those who participated in the uprising.I must the say, the movie is well researched. The cast was chosen due to their facial resemblance to the real heroes.
The story telling is poerful, the direction superb. Every character is etched out before we are taken to the finale. The background score adds to the emotion being portrayed very well.
All the actors, the ones who lead the uprising, the teenagers, have acted exceptionally well. You can feel the pain when they are hurt and you can feel the immense patriotism when they decide to do or die for the freedom of the country. Deepika, I felt was a bit too stiff. Yes, she was a teeny weeny bit better than herself in her previous movies, but all her efforts fell flat considering the other power packed performances by the kids.
The movie bring tears in your eyes, brings fear, brings an immense pride for your motherland, makes you feel like doing something great of your life, because so many have fallen to make the country independent. After the movie was over, I was frozen in my seat for almost 2-3 minutes. I didn't feel like rushing out, but just sat there reading the names of all the heroes who started the new wave that ultimately won us freedom.
This movie should be shown to all our current politicians. Let them know what went in getting us freedom and if the current state is anywhere near what we call an independent country!
Hats off to Gowariker. A very nice movie indeed. I would like to applaud him for his efforts.
It is a serious movie, but very well made. All the youngsters out there, go give it a watch. It is sure to trigger a feeling of "so or die" in you. Vande Mataram!
