Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title description of Netaji, "The Forgotten Hero", was chosen by director Shyam Benegal because he felt that outside the state of Bengal, nobody knew who Bose really was and/or what he did for India's independence.
- GoofsIn the movie, there is a scene where Netaji off-boards a train which is painted in a sky blue and dark blue color combination. The film story is set in 1930-40 but such a color combination on trains was actually introduced in the 21st century.

Featured review
The movie highlights the life of Subhash Chandra Bose for about last five years (1940 - 1945) of his life.
The movie presents only one angle and that belongs to the leader Subhash. It would have been nice if what was going on in the country India and the world would have been highlighted as well.
The take with Hitler too as per my knowledge was incorrect. Hitler said Indians belong to Aryan race, the race built to rule world. This makes me feel most of the things are stretched and shown. To add further Hitler would not have tolerated the kind of interaction shown.
While invading the country again planning was shown. My complaint is why the maps were not highlighted so as general audience would understand (not only the ones who have read history or already known geography).
Final Verdict: The movie is slow. The music (associated with land and history) seems nice but it alone cannot take the boredom. I would suggest watching a 45 minute documentary. You can watch music separately as well.
