The Ghazi Attack

In all the excitement of recreating a major historical event, don't you think that the director or anyone involved could have done a basic research on the naval uniforms of both sides - at least the difference between those of Officers and Men. Here the Indian officers are seen with their shoulder boards as well as insignia of sailors. Commander of the boat also has a Petty Officers arm badge. Engineering, communication and other officer ranks also messed up. Plots shamelessly copied out of Crimson tide, Das boot, U 571 and Hunt for red October to name a few that I have watched. Why do they have to show the opposite number captain as "angry". The creators of such movies should stop taking us audience for granted

Seldom do we have amazing war dramas made in India. The Ghazi Attack breaks the mould to give us an edge of seat, gripping movie. Not many know about this war and I'm among them. Though the movie is a work of fiction and the events have been dramatized, the premise is the same.

The movie has an ensemble cast consisting of Kay Kay Menon, Atul Kulkarni, Rana Duggabati. All 3 deliver power packed performance which add to the amazingness of the movie. We also get to see how a submarine works with detailed sets of the interiors of a submarine. Most of the other underwater scenes are courtesy special effects which are mildly average to be very frank. The movie is very tight with just a little over 120 minutes and does not feel stretched even a bit.

The movie beautifully shows the internal conflict in between the indian naval officers. It adds to depth of the film . Sankalp Reddy does a fine job considering this is his directorial debut. He lets the movie stay in its genre and does not indulge in mainstream elements to try and sell the movie. Patriotism and nationalism is high in the film as expected. The unique experience the movie offers being an underwater film is reason enough to watch it.

Excellent Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. The movie was so interesting at 1st half. The movie was somewhat lagged at 2nd half. The movie had many interesting scenes. The movie had an excellent VFX. This movie was one of the the best movie of 2017. The Tamil dubbing was good in the movie. Excellent Movie.

Still after so may years Indian filmmakers fail to appreciate originality. "The Ghazi Attack" blatantly plagiarizes "Das Boot", a WW2 epic about a U2 submarine and its crew. If you are lucky enough to have seen "Das Boot" you shall share the same animosity for "The Ghazi Attack".

Though it casts some good actors the dialogues are very weak. Even the intense situations fail to thrill. The plot of the movie is to show a cat and mouse game between Indian and Pakistani Submarine. The two rival captains are supposed to be intelligent but its hard to find even a trace of it, all owing to poor research and script.

All in all it is an ambitious attempt but the execution is below par.

5 star out of 10

When was the last time Bollywood thought of not going by the winning formula of Song-dance-revenge formula or following the way of being over intellectual? The Ghazi Attack marks the beginning of a new era, heralded by the young directors like Sankalp Reddy. Tense from the word go, the movie is a captivating tale of patriotism,one's duty to his nation and victory at the cost of sacrifice.Throughout the movie you root for the Indian forces and for the tri-colour. Unfortunately this movie has not minted money like the way Bahubali or other movies have done.But for a connoisseur of movie, it is a wonderful gift. go and enjoy with your family.This is going to stay in your heart for long.
