Biopics or real-life story are always a treat to watch as it narrates the story which are largely unknown to masses. It adds the entertainment value to the story and tells you important events of the individual on whom the movie is made upon which is why it always finds an audience.
This movie is about freedom fighter Usha Mehta, who fought to tooth and nail by starting an underground radio station to keep the Quit India Movement going. When major freedom fighters were getting arrested by British, she kept the fire of freedom awake through the radio station with help of her two friends.
Sara Ali Khan plays the titular character and has been harshly bashed online for her portrayal. She did her best for the role given to her, but it doesn't take away the fact that the movie would have been on other level, if it was done by another strong performer. Sparsh Srivastava is a find of this generation, and he shines as Sara's ally with perfection. Abhay Verma as an innocent lover gives a heartwarming performance and in extended cameo Emraan Hashmi is decent enough.
Few developments look bit too dramatic, and dialogues could have been much better for a story of the period it is being depicted. The songs add value to the movie and BGM is in synch with the whole aura of the movie.
A movie about freedom struggle should instigate patriotism and that is where it faulters. It evokes no sense of pride or any emotional turbulence. There are no high points in the story and the story just goes on one tone making you not root for any character too. The screenplay could have been better.
It is an average affair and could be watched to know the story of our freedom fighters who has given us the Freedom, we are enjoying today. #pranureviews #AeWatanMereWatan #AeWatanMereWatanReview.
