August 16 1947

Story takes place in span of three days in an fictional village of pre independence India where they fail to receive the news of India's Independence . One liner was really good and had great potential , they did a decent job in utilizing this potential . Story building at first half was good following by emotional second half . Cast did a decent job in performance . Production design really need a good appreciation . Visually , cinematography was good .

Cons - Some of the long drawn sequence could've been easily trimmed off . They should've concentrated on some logical issues .

Overall , except for some logical issues and few flaws literally a good watch and worthable for your time . Give it a try .

A movie which pretends patriotism but in this movie every scene shows you that you and every Indian's ancestors were cowards. Director's Shameful vision. I think this film was funded by anti national people. Thought provoking story that will make you feel ashamed of being an Indian and ashamed of the sacrifices made by your forefathers. There will hardly be any country in the history of the whole world, which will show the sacrifice of its forefathers as low as these so called wise directors of India show to India and the people of India. These film makers are worse than the British were bad for India. Avoid watching movies with such corrupt mindset.

The film starts slowly and each characters laid a strong foundation. Storyline and cinematography are the strong areas. Songs were average.

It is an as usual patriotic story but the treatment is different. The importance of freedom is shown strongly.

DESERVES NATIONAL AWARD!!!!

While coming to the pros I would definitely say the casting is good as all the characters have played their best. Music sounds good. This movie could take us to our forefathers days and how things were difficult during the british era.

While coming to the cons the film lags in the middle.. Songs could have been better.

Apart from this nothing much to say. Overall a very good film.

Very well explained the situation, atrocities done and made a question on viewers how difficult it would have been those days to bear this.

Very well scripted and acted as well.

What an cinematography and sound effects. The sound effects, content, role, everything is really heart touching.. It's a must watch for all to understand the importance of freedom and what all atrocities has been faced by our ancestors and how we should respect it. Was wondering the sacrifice people made for getting this freedom. Bhagat singh, Rajguru, Bose ji, Patel and others as well.

Surely an award deserving movie.
