Minha Pátria Amada

Was eagerly awaiting Ae Watan Mere Watan, but am terribly disappointed. The lead actor's dialogue delivery is unbearable. Sara Ali Khan needs to go back to acting school. And maybe stay there as a receptionist or marketing executive. After Gaslight & Murder Mubarak, this is a hatrick of poor performances by the actress.

Emraan Hashmi did well.

The director had a good plot but messed it up midway.

Ae Watan Mere Watan is totally avoidable. Viewers may spend there time watching Maamla Legal Hai or Maharani season 3.

A better casting may have saved AWMW. The director needed someone who can act in the lead.

This movie is likely to be enjoyed by cinegoers who have in interest in the politics at that time. I have little knowledge of the subject to so it was hard to resonate with the story. The movie is shot in sepia and was kinda boring tbh, it took me a few times to finish watching it. Sara's gives probably her best performance to date, however there is still something lacking on screen. She doesnt emit the passion for the character/movie. Her acting is relagated to her face and it seems she puts a lot of effort to portray her emotions through. I think if she tries to act with her body then her performance will be much better.

Biopics or real-life story are always a treat to watch as it narrates the story which are largely unknown to masses. It adds the entertainment value to the story and tells you important events of the individual on whom the movie is made upon which is why it always finds an audience.

This movie is about freedom fighter Usha Mehta, who fought to tooth and nail by starting an underground radio station to keep the Quit India Movement going. When major freedom fighters were getting arrested by British, she kept the fire of freedom awake through the radio station with help of her two friends.

Sara Ali Khan plays the titular character and has been harshly bashed online for her portrayal. She did her best for the role given to her, but it doesn't take away the fact that the movie would have been on other level, if it was done by another strong performer. Sparsh Srivastava is a find of this generation, and he shines as Sara's ally with perfection. Abhay Verma as an innocent lover gives a heartwarming performance and in extended cameo Emraan Hashmi is decent enough.

Few developments look bit too dramatic, and dialogues could have been much better for a story of the period it is being depicted. The songs add value to the movie and BGM is in synch with the whole aura of the movie.

A movie about freedom struggle should instigate patriotism and that is where it faulters. It evokes no sense of pride or any emotional turbulence. There are no high points in the story and the story just goes on one tone making you not root for any character too. The screenplay could have been better.

It is an average affair and could be watched to know the story of our freedom fighters who has given us the Freedom, we are enjoying today. #pranureviews #AeWatanMereWatan #AeWatanMereWatanReview.

The film presents a commendable narrative that beautifully balances patriotism in a nuanced manner. While the screenplay might not captivate everyone, the effort to steer clear of religious and political bias is praiseworthy, contributing positively to the film's integrity. Sara is mediocre but rest of he cast delivers decent performances with the material they're given. Production aspects, including the choice of locations, sets, and costumes, are satisfactorily executed, enhancing the visual appeal of the movie.

Although the cinematography falls short of expectations, it's evident that there was an ambitious vision behind the camera. The direction, despite showing signs of inexperience, demonstrates a commendable effort and a genuine attempt to realize the film's potential. In essence, this movie, with its heart in the right place, is worth watching for those with a keen interest in the subject matter. It's a film that manages to appreciate its themes and aims to deliver a meaningful experience, albeit with some areas for improvement.

Ae Watan Mere Watan beautifully captures the essence of sacrifice and patriotism, shedding light on the forgotten heroes of India's independence movement. Inspired by Usha Mehta's story, the film is a poignant reminder of the untold sacrifices made for our freedom. With compelling storytelling and stellar performances, it leaves a lasting impact on the audience, igniting a sense of gratitude and reverence for those who fought for our nation's freedom. Additionally, the masterpiece background music enhances the emotional depth of the film, weaving seamlessly with the narrative to evoke a powerful sense of pride and reverence.
