Mangal Pandey – The Rising

kya socha tha aur kya paya…
bahut expectation tha iss movie se.. isiliye 1 week pehle se he tickets book kar diya tha… per movie dekhne ke baad laga .. time waste ho gaya:( aur paise bhi

—–1st half:——–
-*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_-
the movie starts with the trunk of elephant.. and some ppl singing a folk lore on that elephant.. good for a movie to start.. but u cant have the same group narrating the story in a song.. it looks ridiculous..
the entry of Mangal Pandey was awesome.. great !! nicely done.
there are few moments where u can really appreciate the director.. the actors and actresses.. but those moments are FEW..
it lacked the seriousness of a topic like struggle for independence of India.. it seemed like the movie is more like one masala movie.. which had only Mangal Pandey as a name.. hira played by rani.. is totally unwanted and doesnt fit anywhere in the story line..*me thinks.. its not there in history also*
Kirron Kher’s elaborately done-up brothel .. the dance girls including rani(hira) clad in bare-all dresses dont fit with the storyline… there was absolutely no need to put that ITEM song.. hopeless!!

slowly the motivation and struggle for independence takes up shape.. but it takes more than the name of Mangal Pandey to do justice.
Aamir is like usual at his best.. Gordon is also good..
the second half is full of unfinished work… the is room for improvement at so many places..

disastrous movie..
