Anwar Says: Movies were earlier made on unsung heroes of Freedom Movement , Sardar Udham Singh , Tanaji and Shershah on Vikram Batra are the recent one and I thank Dharmatic Productions to dig out the story of Padma Vibhushan Late Usha Mehta and thanks to Kannan Iyer , the director, who introduced the lady behind Congress Radio, during Quit India movement in 1942. Surprised , why the own nephew and famous director Ketan Mehta didn't pay the tribute?
After Alia Bhatt , this grand daughter of Pataudi has shown that she can carry the whole film on her shoulder. Struggled sometimes but came back with a vigor . Well supported by Emraan Hashmi aka Ram Manohar Lohia. So good to see Mr. Hashmi playing so many diverse roles. Camerawork, costume and sets of the 40's are upto the mark but what lacks is the spark. The last half an hour doesn't have the drama and pace that a feature film should have. There were much scope to create tension but not been able to built well.
Definitely one time watch to know the relatively less told stories of freedom movement. However, a better craftsman would have chiseled it better.
