A Movie which i was skeptical about watching, as i had heard so many mixed reviews from various sources.But Somewhere in my Heart I knew this Film is worth watching. Amidst this ongoing battle between thoughts, My son walks in & tells me that I should watch the movie & then decide for myself if it was worth watching or not. I listened to my heart and my son both. Finally i managed to watch BHARAT first thing in the morning today...
The film has its own journey, which is wonderfully portrayed & as an audience one gets connected with it from the beginning, as pre-partition stories are very much alive in everyone's mind, heart & soul, especially for the ones who have lived that era & passed on the stories to their children & grandchildren...
This film's story is not just a normal story or Story of a Nation, it is also a story of HOPE, LOVE, FAMILY, FRIENDSHIP, SACRIFICE & UNITY...
Every actor in this film has done justice to their respective role & showcased their character beautifully... be it Disha Patni, Ayesha Raza, Kumud Mishra, Jackie Shroff , tabu.
Brijender Kala is awesome as usual. And Sunil Grover's best performance till now. Be it comedy or an emotional scene, he did a great job. Sonali Kulkarni has once again proven her versatility.
Now the hero and the heroine. Both are brilliant. Salman Khan rocks- emotion, humour, action scenes and look- he is the best.
The best scene was of pirates. I never Imagined that an action fight scene can be converted into a complete comedy with fun element of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan being loved by Africans, who acts as a bargaining chip with Pirates & the matter solves peacefully.
A girl can be won by love, not by mere fighting.
You never feel bored for even a single moment in the entire film. One feels like we are living Bharat's life alongside him. The partition scenes brought back memories of my Mati & Bouji ( My mother and father). They also used to stay in Gujranwala but thankfully they migrated to India before the massacres. I was taken back to the stories my Beji ( Nani , grandmother )used to tell us about partition- how they left behind their houses, their cattle, even those Muslim friends who were like a family. My aunt's house and her wedding gifts- all were burnt down. Seeing the film, i was genuinely taken back to the past.
Direction & background score both are great. Music for me was just about OK. 'Zinda' song is my favourite. Casting is aptly done.... Film has emotions, humour, entertainment, perfect Masala for audience....Ending was superb with a great message that we should accept change- we should adapt to the newer times. Child actors have performed brilliantly....
In the end I must say that don't search google for reviews to watch movie, go and make your own opinion and I am sure you will not get disappointed. It is a clean film with wholesome entertainment- fit for a family viewing.
The only thing i dislike about the film was Katrina's hairstyle. Although she has acted very well in this Film, which is one of those very few Performances of her's which we get to see on such rare Occasions. In my view, Curly hair didn't suit her at all. The makers/Hairstylist should have done a better job with her hair.
Overall, In my opinion Bharat is a super duper hit movie. A must Watch!!!
