    Bollywood again trying to fool Indians - AGAIN

    First of all, BOLLYWOOD SHOULD LEARN BY NOW there Muslim card has got silent but still on

    4% muslim sacrifies are shown as they were 40% part of freedom shadeds

    This is a true story of Usha Mehta, who willingly scarified her freedom and went through torture from Briteshers for the sake of radio broadcast Why do you show that a person called "FAHAD" is the one who fought with Usha Mehta, in real there was no such freedom fighter, why do Bollywood always do that and not give the tribute to the one who actually deserves.

    Why only you choose mosque to cast a song

    Babubhai Khakar, Vithalbhai Jhaveri, and Chandrakant Jhaveri were key figures in organising Congress Radio with Usha

    Even Emran Harsmi, the kissing lufanga hero is playing babu Monhoar Lhiya, any one who has read even 4 books on freedom will burn his blood to see this stupidities

    Sara Ali did not justified Usha ji very well, very avg acting as if does not get into the character she needs to be Karan Johar is the producer, he better keeps his hands off from patriotist movies.

    A since effort from Sara

    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.

    Usha Mehta needed a better movie on her life

    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.

    Missed Opportunities: A Lackluster Tribute

    "Ae Watan Mere Watan" fails to hit the target, weighed down by Sara Ali Khan's stiff and unconvincing acting, lackluster dialogue, and missed chances to honor unsung heroes. Sara's portrayal lacks depth, leaving scenes flat and uninspired. The dialogue feels forced, failing to evoke emotion. The film fails the opportunity to shine a light on the bravery of forgotten heroes, opting instead for superficial storytelling.

    The supporting cast of Emraan Hashmi, Sparsh Shrivastav, Alexx, and others fails to inject life into the narrative, leaving it flat.

    Overall, it's a disappointing watch that falls short of its potential. "Nevertheless, the world needs to hear such stories"

    Masterful Storytelling and Enthralling Background Score!

    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.
