GOUR HARI DASTAAN

A true story with least of drama build up, still so engaging and being able to give an insight, forcing its viewers to think and giving a strong message at the same time. Very well written screenplay and dialogues sounds unlike a dialogue, yet some lines were making a big impact.

A big credit should be given for the in depth research, the team might have done. setting an example for the importance of pre- production, specially when we make a life story of an aam aadmi and not a celebrity.

Being a period film, required the casting to be done very carefully because the story runs in 3 different time periods.Well enacted performances, vinay pathak shows how intense and yet so easily he can get into the soul of any character. Ranveer shorey, konkona sen, Saurabh Shukla and other actors are also great. 

Apart from vinay pathak, Rajit Kapur who hardly had 4-5 minutes of screentime that too in 2-3different scenes will be strongly registered in your mind.

Best scene/ moment- there is a scene post interval, which runs as a flashback where we see India getting its freedom, this will surely give you goosebumps, normally such scene is told in the form of a speech, but here it shows the happiness on a street.

Overall, a great film, surely worth watching in theatres.

Jai Hind !
