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".

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.

He was a freedom fighter. However, to his party, his approach was neither quintessential nor nonparallel... and as it turns out he made the list of war criminals by allied forces...he traveled to many countries from Maldives to Singapore to Vietnam to Formosa - Taiwan, Germany to to Japan .. 3 commissions- Shahnaeaz (1956), Khosla (1970) and Mukherjee (2005) , each spent years and years and tons of taxpayers' money to denude the circumstances surrounding his death...even after 75 years, some critical secrets still remain classified... somewhere in the Indian government, there is an impenetrable, unaccountable power that no administration as of today has been able to bring the truth about the account of his life after his fraudulent death date to the public .. A tenacious cynical journalist on a mission to find the truth and unveil it .. somewhat run-of-the-mill performances and wished the commission sequence had continued in Hindi but well, a typical Bengali pomposity was evident after all :-) ... but overall great movie and very less known facts make it a must watch..

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.
