Gour Hari Dastaan – The Freedom File (Movie Review)

Rating: ****



A biopic on Gour Hari Das, a freedom fighter who needed to establish his identity and his journey spanning three decades in his quest for a piece of paper – the Certificate of recognition for his efforts during the freedom struggle from the Government of India.

Not for seeking pension funds or other benefits, but recognition of his efforts as a teen-aged school boy who went to prison for several months for taking part in the freedom struggle during the British raj in India.

Gour Hari Dastaan is a story based on real life of an Odisha freedom fighter, Gour Hari Das who made his way through a long battle of silent war that lasted for 32 years, against his own government to prove his patriotic association towards the nation. He fought for a certificate recognizing his work as a freedom fighter which took three full decades to arrive.
