Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero

That's an incredible movie, with background on emotional scenes "Ghum Parani Masi Pisi Moder Bari Eso".😍😍 Almost had me in tears.

Many things which could come to the light but it doesn't Metter when you have a cult.

The film by just concentrating on the reformation of Indian National Army and the later war of Indian National Army under the Leadership of Netaji against the British rule in India has done a splendid job of reliving the patriotic times of the Great and perhaps the bravest man in India's struggle for freedom.

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.

Yes, the movie fails on a number of cases- especially character development of Bose himself. It seems to me the whole thing was written and directed in haste. Further, some of the scenes were absolutely unnecessary (what is the need for a showing a German U-Boat firing a torpedo at a ship in this movie). Some of the war scenes were also very badly done. One expected a lot more from a director of Benegal's reputation.

I thought the lead actor was very good but again fell short of expectations. But I would ask all Indians to watch the movie. BeThe movie wakes you up to the life and struggles of this hero. Before this I didn't know too much about the man.
