The Tashkent Files

Difficult subject was taken and tried to present it to people Audience will walk out of Movie with questions why this happens to PM Shastriji Don't go by media review.. They have rated it bad due to Vivek Agnihotry's political alignment

Great film, probably the most I've enjoyed a Bollywood film so far.

'The Tashkent Files' isn't a typical Hindi film, at least compared to the ones I've watched thus far. It takes its time with the story and properly sifts through it, without any songs shoehorned in. I thoroughly felt entertained by it, despite a potentially damaging 144 minute run time.

There are some very good performances from the cast. Shweta Basu Prasad is no doubt the star, she puts a lot of emotion into the role of Raagini. Mithun Chakraborty is extremely likeable as Shyam, he keeps the film moving when the focus comes away from Prasad. Naseeruddin Shah is the most noteworthy of the rest, who are all pleasant to watch.

I had no knowledge of Lal Bahadur Shastri before this, so it was very interesting to learn bits and pieces about this period of India's history - even if it features disputed elements and the usual creative license that films use. I think they tell it very well, with/without the aforementioned.

I watched this on the UK's Zee Cinema channel, who broadcasted a version with a crap tonne of censorship over names, countries, organisations etc. It actually turned into an amusing little game to try and guess what was behind the blur!

In seriousness though, this is most definitely worth a watch.

I request all the Indians to watch that movie. Thanks to Vivek Agnihotri for picking that Issue which the government always wanted to hide from us. I really feel so ashamed after watching that movie that our 2nd PM died but no one cares. Even our education system want us to forget about Shastri Ji. RIP Sir, we are so sorry that we didn't honoured you with the honour you deserve.

So awesome that vivek ji has openly talked about some of the most sensitive and day to day issues like secularism with such a beautiful way. Awesome narrative skills and acting is just out of the world. Thanks for the master piece...🙏👍

The movie is quite informative about the subject it touches. How the whole nation got compromised for the benefits of a few. Also explains why Russia was so much friendly towards India... there is no free lunch!

The only problem is, all this is wrapped around by too much of Bollywood drama, which makes it a bit boring sometimes. Could have been more engaging by cutting short that drama.
