Gour Hari Dastaan: The Freedom File

Vinay Pathak always show the real life image of the character. His acting is damn amazing. Many Many Thanks to Bindiya Khanolkar and Sachin Khanolkar for producing this Movie. Director Anant Mahadevan done it brilliantly, i congratulate him for this kind of direction.

Vinay Pathak surrenders himself to the role (Gour Hari Das) and strikes the right note without any overt attempt to reach out to the audience. He reflects the optimism of a man who believes in his truth but also knows that he is pushing against a wall.

Konkona Sen did her best and remains in the shadow of Pathak, she brings her skills into play as the supportive wife. Like Pathak, she has also perfected the walk of an old woman.

As always Ranvir Shorey did his best. These actors are the real actors i admit.

The silence in the movie really hit you. I love it. 5/5

The line "there is no future in this country " Seems so realistic now in 2020. I always felt and many share the same view but can't admit it, British should have stayed for few more hundred years. All my respect to freedom fighters but i am sure they never imagined this is the india they were struggling for. The future will definitely more strongly say we did not deserved this freedom we would have been much better in British rule.

We are not free in true sense, we are in much worse condition now we still are slave but only with freedom to spit & pee where ever we feel like.

He fought for the country and now 70 years later he had to fight against the same country. He fought to free his country from British and the people of that free country not only refuse to acknowledge his sacrifice but even question his identity as was he indeed a freedom fighter !!! I can relate to this as I come from a freedom fighter's family...Thought provoking as did he really help free the country? What is a freedom really???? Are we free? Excellent screenplay based on true story and commendable performance by Vinay Pathak and superb exemplary direction by Anant Mahadevan.

Gour Hari Dastan is a biographical film which showcases the struggle of Indians, they face in daily life against the government, whether it is regarding any pension/freedom fighter paper, it shows the struggle of how government is in INdia, How the working class people in India are, not caring about work, just waiting for bribery, to get the work done. A slow movie in its pace. But a must watch.

Good acting by all. Such a good movie. Screenplay is good. Realistic acting by actors.
