    Boring movie

    I can't believe producers did such a horrible job. Worthless movie. I have respect for Bal Thackeray but movie was pathetic.

    Nawaz as Thackeray

    The main storyline plots around balasaheb thackeray, the powerhouse of Mahatashtra ... The way his Biography is put forth by director may make you bore, Except Nawaz, The movie fails in every Aspect, The way balasaheb should be shown its exactly the opposite, Bad direction, I hope They remake this part with good direction

    Nawazuddin Siddiqui makes it worth watching

    Nawazuddin Siddiqui pulls of one of the best performances of his career. He's fabulous! His body language, composure, magnetism & mannerism is at a different level all together. We don't come across actors like him often. If nothing else, watch the movie just for him.

    Overall, depending on your political inclination, the values you carry, the principles you have, you may hate or like the film, as it is based on a political personality and the choices he makes. Personally, I must admit that the 150 mins did alter my opinion about Balasaheb Thackerey. That by itself shows that the film & the performance of its casts is good enough to have an impact (good or bad) on your opinion about the protagonist.

    However, the film is very slow & if you can't read Hindi you might find it difficult to keep up. Dialogues at times are great but most often very confusing.

    Bottom line is, if you are looking for a typical bollywood entertainer, you might like to skip this one. Else it is a good watch!

    Opportunity missed.. could have been better!!

    Had high expectations from this film considering the charismatic persona of the protagonist . The narrative unfortunately is not gripping enough to hold the audience in rapt attention .

    The film has its moments but seems disjointed, with punch lines that are laboriously inserted without having any impact on the narrative.

    Navaz fits the bill perfectly and gets into the character with ease . But as they say no one can rise above the script . Could have been better .

    5 out of 10 stars from me for this biographical docudrama.
