Btw yesterday I saw "Bose- The fogotten Hero" a fictionalized movie based on facts-- yeah, thats what movie title said.
Well the movie was total turnoff for me. It is not that movie is bad but my expectations were too high. Throughout the movie i felt the topic of such importance should have received better treatment.
I had been waiting to watch ths movie since its trailors were shown on TV. Though I am not big fan of Shyam Benegal's movie I thought perhaps he would come out better. When I entered the theatre I was very enthusiastic. For the first time the national anthem which played before every movie show in mumbai's theatres didnt look out of place. The atmosphere was built but from the very begining of movie I had this feeling that the movie is not upto the mark. but i patiently waited hoping that movie would get better as it progresses.
Attempts to bring some humor in the movie which i feel were totally unecessary were very annoying and sometimes plainly ludicrious. War sequences were totally frivolous.
Only saving grace for the movie is AR Rehman's music, cinematography and sceninc locations of central asia. Dr. Laxmi sehgal nee laxmi swaminathan was only an eye candy. Bose's meeting with hitler provoked waves of laughter in theatre.
