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.

Bang Bang Hindi Movie Review


Rating: ***


Hrithik and Katrina star in this action movie, a remake of the Hollywood film – Knight and Day (Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz), directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Fox Star Studios.

Supposedly touted as the most expensive Bollywood film, it is high octane action drama mounted on huge canvas, superb action scenes, hot chemistry between the lead pair and yet it lacks soul. There is virtually no storyline and those family scenes depict no connect between the protagonist and his parents, rather they slow down the pace.

It begins with action sequence in London where a dreaded terrorist Omar Zafar (Danny Denzongpa) escapes through his aides, right in presence of an Indian army officer Viren Nanda (Jimmy Shergill). Omar Zafar ruthlessly murders the Indian soldier.

Omar Zafar is informed by his abettor Hamid Gul (Jaaved Jaffrey) that the British government is on the verge of signing a Special Extradition treaty with India. The dreaded terrorist comes up with a plan to derange the talks with the offer of announcing a prize of 5 million Dollars to whoever (should be an Indian only) steals the Kohinoor Diamond from the Brits.
