Even today traces of subversion are visible in most aspects of our society due to systematic destruction of Indianness ! The sense of pride in who we are serves as a confidence booster for next generations to excel in their lives, but we were robbed of it for 2 centuries! The movie and its dialogues take us back to times where we were proud of who we were! That's the greatest gift that came from this movie! Sahyadri cha kada shwas rokuni khada!...(Sahayadri's Fortress waiting holding its breath) movie is full of such wonderful dialogues that leave your blood boiling as well as eyes wet at same time ....beautifully written songs with absolutely class music and Povadas! The detailing is mind boggling! Brilliant acting by everyone and superb narration by Upendra Limaye.

And yes, the movie did not get under the pressure of portraying grand Shivaji, the name itself carries is much weight that it's east to succumb under pressure. Mr. Tarde has kept its heart in right place without forgetting that the movie must entertain. His face exudes innocence and courage at the same time. He lived the part so well. Can't miss to see the pride in his face when he says "we are Shivaji Raje's people " to Bahadur Khan's family. Hambirrao's daughter Tararani is a revered figure in Kolhapur, pleasantly surprised to see his views resonate so well with modern times. A scene where Gashmeer portrays Sambhaji fighting like an explosive warrior, and Hambirrao looks with pride was the scene were it took me to a different world. Must say that Gashmeer did succeed in playing both characters with finesse...balance and wit of father & sheer firepower of son.

With limited resources what Shivaji Raje did is unbelievable, required a mountain of will power, and that's why India map is still on world map. To such warriors even Bahubali like movies could fall short. I always wondered why can't such greatness be portrayed with cinematic liberty to make it a surreal experience. I must say this movie went emotionally quite close to those days and those great people....must watch movie.... something that does justice to Greatness of Maratha Warriors ... Great gift to us Mr. Pravin Tarde, hats off!

With no new movies releasing, movie buffs are having hard time to look out for fresh content....and here is a gem that comes along knocking on Amazon Prime. I started with looking out for a story that can keep you engaged. The production quality, camera shorts that are of international standards pulled my interest. This first was obvious in the opening credits where the scenes are shot with an aerial view. The director Kiran Reddy is knows his job very well. We see a deep influence from Hollywood but that works in favour of the movie as most of the movie markers are in the USA. The movie has its aha moments with twists and turns that can leave you stunned. The lead actor Bhargava Poludasu comes in as a surprise and his transformation to the central character is seamless. He definitely acted with restraint and someone to look out for in future. The other actor Rakesh Galebhe with his looks like Atif Aslam, confuses us for some time, works well for the movie. The movie stayed with me for a while. And somewhere the movie strikes a balance on morality, revenge saga, thriller. If you are searching for content, this movie is will not disappoint at all. Good work Gatham team!

The presentation is signature Mysskin. Researched personalities, who are very much Of their own kind, a world that's dark and different but interesting, a story of individuality and a sense of purpose driven by past. The hero is a sign of ultra positive (never sorry of his limitations, like being blind) while the negative character is sign of Ultra pain. You can feel that both characters exist in you and their pain can be lived through the movie. Aditi Hydari shows up as a sign of purity that looks at both the positive and negative with empathy. Lovely take on human psyche!

All actors sync in characters smoothly. Udhayanidhi works out a perfect fit with his mild expressions as a protagonist and delivers a good performance. Good songs...Unna Nenachu, Illayaraja magic and Sid Sriram.. mind blowing ! Rajkumar Pitchumani (the one who was the friend in earlier Mysskin movie Pichassu) steals the show whenever he gets a chance. All artists have performed up to Mysskin standard, none the secondary.

In short a total Mysskin Effect! Watch it if you love thrillers! Pain, love, courage, compassion, sacrifice all woven beautifully... Can't wait to see what Mysskin is going for next....
