Gumnaami

He was a freedom fighter. However, to his party, his approach was neither quintessential nor nonparallel... and as it turns out he made the list of war criminals by allied forces...he traveled to many countries from Maldives to Singapore to Vietnam to Formosa - Taiwan, Germany to to Japan .. 3 commissions- Shahnaeaz (1956), Khosla (1970) and Mukherjee (2005) , each spent years and years and tons of taxpayers' money to denude the circumstances surrounding his death...even after 75 years, some critical secrets still remain classified... somewhere in the Indian government, there is an impenetrable, unaccountable power that no administration as of today has been able to bring the truth about the account of his life after his fraudulent death date to the public .. A tenacious cynical journalist on a mission to find the truth and unveil it .. somewhat run-of-the-mill performances and wished the commission sequence had continued in Hindi but well, a typical Bengali pomposity was evident after all :-) ... but overall great movie and very less known facts make it a must watch..

Gumnami might be a good film to you, it might be a bad film to you. But you cannot deny the fact Gumnaami is a very important film to the country. This is the most authentic movie about Netaji ever made.

The movie is research oriented. Every statement stated by the actors about Netaji and various other Historical Characters are actually hard facts. The supporting story signifies what amount of work has been devoted into the research. I don't believe there was a better way to put this story. It will be unfair to rate this as substandard. And NO! This movie is not a "melodramatic hodgepodge" nor does it "lose the way after intermission". These reviews are misleading and mischievously done. Anyone even with a bit of spine left in them would love to face the truth about the fact that GoI lacked the spine to accept and give proper honor to "The Real Father of the Nation" and the "Greatest Son of India".

It's time to open our eyes and shed a light on Netaji's misterius disappearance for the sake of his unconditional love for the nation and aggressiveness towards snatching freedom from Britishers, which was a major reason why he was cornered by India's top leaders, hoping freedom would come by spreading peace across the nation. How fool we were, are, and hopefully, will be.

The best thing of this film is its brilliant presentation. It's a very well researched film. I get to know so many things I've not any idea about. Prosenjit Chatterjee's portrayal of Gumnaami Baba made me emotional and forced me to shed tears in some scenes. Totally loved Anirban Bhattacharya & Tanushree Chakraborty.

All the songs were another positive thing of the film. This movie has something that made me search so many things on Google after finishing the film. I think this movie will remain with me for a long time. Undoubtedly, Gumnaami is one of the best work of Srijit Mukherji and A Must Watch For Every Indian.
