Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran

Direction:

Tere Bin Laden series fame Abhishek Sharma has come up with historical Thriller drama of Nuclear Bomb testing. This genre looks boring for general public but he keep the momentum with solid performance and script.

Performance:

John Abraham has given another Madras Cafe type performance for this movie. Diana Penty was looks good in her role. Bohan Irani was great in touch with his role. Zachary Coffin is now regular Bollywood's Gora Man. Master Arush Nand and Aditya Hitkari also done good job.

Script:

Brilliant job done by Saiwyn Quadras, Sanyuktha Chawla Sheikh and Abhishek Sharma. There are many wow factors in this movie. First one was the inclusion of Maharbahrat and Pandavs concept. Second one, Real life video footage of Atal Bihari, Nawaz Sharif, Bill Cilton added more weigh into script.

Music:

Sachin-Jigar and Jeet Ganguly 's music was good as it suits with the situation and did not put break into speed of script. " Shubh Din" and "Thare Vaaste" are really great one.

Box-office:

As word of mouth is good for this movie, Footfall will be increase on Saturday and Sunday. Second week will be crucial one. We can expect 40-50 crores lifetime collection for this one.

Last words:

Don't miss the chance to become witness of proud moment

Pros: Based on true events, which undoubtedly is a pride of any sensible Indian Cons: Everything else. Just coz this is based on a true event (especially a proud moment) doesn't automatically makes this movie a good one. Story telling is lazy, character building is lazy. Not one character with whom one can relate or even understand their background except someone saying "he's brilliant, he's awesome". Gimme a break. Dont tell me, SHOW me. That's what movie is about.

Technical aspect of the Pokhran test is so diluted as if it looks like connecting a dynamite using wires and pulling the switch. Nothing about the challenges they've faced is shown except brushing the surface of it.When i read about Pokhran, clearly it's notable that they've missed the basic thing, which is the hard work put in by each one of the team member.

John Abraham and the IB girl- God save their acting. Others acting is passable at best, except Boman Irani, who doesn't have much screen time.

This move, from a story telling point of view, kinda sucks. Just coz I'm Indian, I've given this 5/10.

Movie misses on mnay science fronts ... Such as people handle open nuclear core without radiation suit... overall not very smart movie

We have people blaming #Bollywood movies for content all year long and when a good film releases there's no one to watch it. Intentionally watched #Parmanu with 50% occupancy and what a film it is!! Such stories need to be told, these are the stories which children need to know.

And not movies on Sanjay Dutt, not movies on Dawood, Haseena Parkar, etc. #Parmanu invokes patriotism in you and that's what should be remembered. Anyway will have people bashing the upcoming Race 3 and blaming the audience for taking it to 500cr.

Whereas a Parmanu silently arrives and leaves without anyone noticing. Hope it gets what it deserves. An audience!!

We would expect a movie inspired with true events ought to keep you engaged throughout.

Alas , it may not be in case of Pokharan.. an event which brought the country to the world map of military power and paved its way to have a stronger role in world politics, the movie might not have been able to build a strong backdrop story line .. a not so strong screenplay, at times lame dialogues and script drags and tries to instill patriotism.. I guess movie was an attempt to stardom, from the factory of recently created patriotism formulae with humor dialogues nd doesn't help, atleast myself.

Again, I still feel we had a great cast nd have watched some great work from JAs production like Madras Cafe.. Diane Pentys role could have been stronger than just making her walk in a uniform ..
