Anwar Says: The film was marked as thriller but you are hardly thrilled. Tension is found only on the face of Manoj Bajpayee , not in the movie. It took eight years to get released, this Kanu Behl directorial debut, containing all the ingredients for investigating journalism but your wait doesn't end till the film is over. The role, though tailor made for Manoj , but he should reconsider the decision to carry the movie alone.
The supporting cast did well, particularly the females in the life of Manoj. His frustration of a disturbed married life, hardly get solace with a much younger girlfriend and the occasional fling with co-journalist Noorie, ably played by Rii Sen. So many angles were put in like 2G spectrum scam, shell companies , D-Company and hardly finds any breakthrough.
On the whole, I had lot of expectations after watching Behl's TITLI and AGRA , when Manoj is in the lead but was disappointed. 4 out of 10 from me.

Anwar Says: The name of Neeraj Pandey itself brings a sparkle that some original action, mystery and sensation, is going to be played. The movie starts with the same note but the back and forth of 15 years put the pace down and loosens its impact considerably. Still watchable, particularly because of notable performances of three leads, Avinash Tiwary, Jimmy Shergil and Tamanna Bhatia.
Pandey has tried to portray so many phases of the characters and is mostly predictable. Jimmy Shergil has definitely matured as an actor and the character is tailor- made for him. Tiwary is composed and gave a solid performance. Tamanna Bhatia, though not given a glamorous role, for a change, is completely within her character. Actress of calibre of Divya Dutta has not been exploited by Pandey. Cinematography is par excellence, catching the actual by lanes of Mumbai. Songs , though hummable, but are unnecessary.
Definitely not the best of Pandey as we expect something more from him. Still I recommend you this weekend at Netflix, since not much new Hindi stuff are available.

Anwar Says: The writer duo Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre came with a series of top seller with Is Paris Burning in 1965, O Jerusalem in 1971 and Freedom at Midnight in 1975. It took Bollywood directors 50 years to finally bring it on OTT. Nikhil Advani dared to portray tumultuous pre-partition era and did it faithfully. I would suggest all people who are influenced by WhatsApp University regarding our heroes of Freedom Movement, please must watch this web-series and know the reality.
Nikhil has shown the character of Sardar Patel as real strong and saviour of all crisis, played par excellence by Rajendra Chawla , whereas Nehru , played by Sidhant Gupta has not been shown as weak but not been able to cut the ice. Zinna , by Arif Jakaria, has shown his anger and radical approach but his other part is not properly reflected. Fascination of Edwina to Nehru could be better told. Chirag Vohra doesn't have the spark of Gandhi in his eyes.
Still it is a brave effort and a true testament of partition, particularly Gandhi and Nehru were not responsible for partition as is being projected today. Make a binge watch.
