Gumnaami

The movie is research oriented. Every statement stated by the actors about Netaji and various other Historical Characters are actually hard facts. The supporting story signifies what amount of work has been devoted into the research. I don't believe there was a better way to put this story. It will be unfair to rate this as substandard. And NO! This movie is not a "melodramatic hodgepodge" nor does it "lose the way after intermission". These reviews are misleading and mischievously done. Anyone even with a bit of spine left in them would love to face the truth about the fact that GoI lacked the spine to accept and give proper honor to "The Real Father of the Nation" and the "Greatest Son of India".

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

Must watch for all. Please go and watch. Feel for the person who was extraordinary. Feel the energy. Go and cry for him. And shout Jai Hind. India is always proud of him and we Will always miss our hero.

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...

Gumnami might be a good film to you, it might be a bad film to you. But you cannot deny the fact Gumnaami is a very important film to the country. This is the most authentic movie about Netaji ever made.
