Gumnaami

It might not be 'The Tashkent Files' but is still a gem. Especially for me as it is about one of my all time favorite heroes. Even non Bengalis like me can enjoy the movie with subtitles. It is anyway beautiful to just listen to people speaking Bengali. But since there is also a lot of English and Hindi in the movie so the language factor doesn't matter much... Hope one day the truth about the true liberator of India will come out and hopefully we will stop worshipping false gods... Hope the tags of 'Mahatma' and 'Father of the Nation' will one day be taken off an 'Adharmi' Gandhi...

And kudos to Anuj Dhar for his passion and work...

Jai Hind... Long Live Netaji...

What worked: This movie deserves a praise and worth sometime considering the subject of the movie. The movie should be applauded for their work and choosing such a complex story. They also deserve praise for their interesting storytelling. The use of colored and black and white frame is commendable and the cinematographer has done some fine job in most part of the movie. So does the background score. It's often hard to make a movie with such complex character, often disputing the government and intensive hard work on the topic

What did not work: The songs especially at the end was a bore for me. Some of the camera work is weak at times. With all its technical flaws, it's still a very watchable movie Final verdict: definitely recommended

This movie is based on the book Conundrum, written by Anuj Dhar and Chandrachur Ghose. Anuj Dhar has also written India's Biggest Cover-up and What Happened to Netaji. For those who have read these books, the movie provides a visual representation to the facts and incidents that are mentioned in the books.

To those who have not read the books, this movie will give you a sense of the tremendous injustice meted out to India's greatest freedom fighter who sacrificed his entire life for his beloved motherland.

The best thing of this film is its brilliant presentation. It's a very well researched film. I get to know so many things I've not any idea about. Prosenjit Chatterjee's portrayal of Gumnaami Baba made me emotional and forced me to shed tears in some scenes. Totally loved Anirban Bhattacharya & Tanushree Chakraborty.

All the songs were another positive thing of the film. This movie has something that made me search so many things on Google after finishing the film. I think this movie will remain with me for a long time. Undoubtedly, Gumnaami is one of the best work of Srijit Mukherji and A Must Watch For Every Indian.

Available on Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar & Hoichoi.

It's time to open our eyes and shed a light on Netaji's misterius disappearance for the sake of his unconditional love for the nation and aggressiveness towards snatching freedom from Britishers, which was a major reason why he was cornered by India's top leaders, hoping freedom would come by spreading peace across the nation. How fool we were, are, and hopefully, will be.
