Featured reviews
This is a film based on the life of Subhash Chandra Bose who does not find much mention in the history books. This film is a wonderful presentation of events with the mature acting of actors like Sachin Khadekar, Sonu Sood. Wonderful dialogues and fine presentation of events. This was realistic in approach and modern in outlook. Great work.
The movie highlights the life of Subhash Chandra Bose for about last five years (1940 - 1945) of his life.
The movie presents only one angle and that belongs to the leader Subhash. It would have been nice if what was going on in the country India and the world would have been highlighted as well.
The take with Hitler too as per my knowledge was incorrect. Hitler said Indians belong to Aryan race, the race built to rule world. This makes me feel most of the things are stretched and shown. To add further Hitler would not have tolerated the kind of interaction shown.
While invading the country again planning was shown. My complaint is why the maps were not highlighted so as general audience would understand (not only the ones who have read history or already known geography).
Final Verdict: The movie is slow. The music (associated with land and history) seems nice but it alone cannot take the boredom. I would suggest watching a 45 minute documentary. You can watch music separately as well.

The film by just concentrating on the reformation of Indian National Army and the later war of Indian National Army under the Leadership of Netaji against the British rule in India has done a splendid job of reliving the patriotic times of the Great and perhaps the bravest man in India's struggle for freedom.
First, I'm not Indian but I learned a lot about india's struggle for independence from this movie. Previously, my only knowledge of india's struggle was that of the Gandhi-Nehru efforts.
Second, this could have been a very powerful movie - I would say even more than one of the best Hollywood movies of all time, Casablanca. If there was some basic editing applied, we could have had a shorter duration movie without some of the irrelevant scenes that do not add much to the movie and also distract from the great story of this great man. An edited version of the existing movie would be great for people outside of India, most of whom has never heard of Subhas Chandra Bose.
That's an incredible movie,
with background on emotional scenes "Ghum Parani Masi Pisi Moder Bari Eso".😍😍
Almost had me in tears.
Did you know
- TriviaThe title description of Netaji, "The Forgotten Hero", was chosen by director Shyam Benegal because he felt that outside the state of Bengal, nobody knew who Bose really was and/or what he did for India's independence.
- GoofsIn the movie, there is a scene where Netaji off-boards a train which is painted in a sky blue and dark blue color combination. The film story is set in 1930-40 but such a color combination on trains was actually introduced in the 21st century.
