Average
Kangana is doing all the great work. Not her career best performance! But she acts superb.
Ankita Lokhande, Danny, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Suresh Oberoi and others are perfect. But I felt that their screen presence were less. Md Zeeshan Ayyub is choosing wrong roles, he must have to realize now.
Disappointed with not so extraordinary dialogues. I have huge expectations from Prasoon Joshi. Also, Vijayendra Prasad has not given up to the mark. Music by Shankar Ehsan Loy is average.
Film stands only on Kangana and Bharat song by Shankar Mahadevan. Apart from these two things, nothing great or even good. VFX is average, too. At last, you can watch it one time, be it in theater or on amazon prime.

Nawaz at his best.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui in and as Thackeray, is a biopic made on the ShivSena leader Bala Saheb Thackeray. The film is directed by Abhijit Panse.

Nawaz has done fantastic job. He is apt for the role. Amrita Rao is doing simply good in the film. Supportive cast has been good, too.

Film is about the journey of a cartoonist Bala Tackeray till he became the Tiger of Maharashtra. The court room scene is fantastically shot and performed. You will forget that he is Nawaz in the getup of Saheb.

The walk on beach at sunset by Thackeray is the best scene of the film. With subtle and dramatic dialogues, the film holds you from start to end. Though, first half is little bit slow to get bored. There are scenes of speeches by Saheb, which are nicely done.

I find the background music very well made. The perfect amount of tunes make the scenes worthy enough to get involved. Also, VFX is done superbly. All will surely appreciate the Thackeray pose in Maharasthra map along with a roaring tiger.

I miss songs in this film. May be songs could have added more pleasure, or even relief in first half. However, the title plus promotional song is good though.

On the whole, witness Nawaz playing Bala Saheb, if you love either of them or both of them. It is good in parts, gripping and enjoyable. And this is not the end, film stops at a point where the screen says- to be continued.

Sara delivers a fine debut in Kedarnath
Abhishek Kapoor is back again with a love story, based in Kedarnath. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan as lead, this film is Sara's debut film. So all eyes are on her. And the story is also about the flood which happened in 2013, where many lost their everything!

Film is a love story of a pithhu muslim guy with a dauther of a Pandit. Both stay there up in the valley. The story goes softly in the first half. And second half is full of drama. I think there are some unnecessary scenes in the entire movie. But it never becomes boring at any point of time. The flood sequence in the last 20 something minutes are superb. Though VFX could have been better. But you can enjoy the visuals which're threatening.

One scene of water flowing over the main temple had got me the biggest goosebump in recent times. My screen was housefull. And everyone was watching with a pin drop silence in the hall. The film, which is going stronger because of the word of mouth from audiences, as people feel amazing to see those last portion in theaters.

Sara Ali Khan makes her shining debut here. She will probably get all awards of best debut female. She looks stunning in all salwars. Especially in that red salwar in Qafirana song. However, I want to ask the costume designer that why her character doesn't wear any sweater or jacket or shawl despite having seated in Kedarnath! ?

Sushant Singh Rajput is good. Not great or anything! I only liked him in that climax scene. Neetesh Bhardwaj is fine. Others are good. The Baba at valley is superfine!

Music is above average. Amit Trivedi has given the music. Starting with Namo Namo, the cinematography is superb. Qafirana, JaanNisaar and Sweethear are nicely written songs. So, first time I am listening to Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics who are greater than music. Wow. Arijit Singh always rocks in any film!

Story is by Kanika Dhillon and Abhishek Kapoor. I would say they could have created more depth in characterisation. We can't feel for them. It could have been made a better film. Also didn't like the cliche helicopter scene. ? Dialogues are not good, as I can sense that the heroine is not a Pandit girl in real but a muslim girl, beacause of her accent. Sushant is having lesser urdu words than Sara. This could have to be done rightly.

I have been there at Kedarnath four years before this tragedy happened. I have seen the beautiful valleys. I have experienced the cold out there. And more of the above, the holyness of the temple and its surrounding. So, I went to watch this film to revisit Kedarnath. However, it is impossible for anyone to showcase look a like Kedar on screen of before the year 2013. This team have tried their best. But how can I be so amazed with this world in the movie!

On the whole, you should definitely go for this film. Because Sara has given fine performance and location needs eyesights. Watch this film in theaters only, because you can't watch it at home anyday! This film is happened to be seen on big screens. Not great, not bad. But, surely watchable.
