Must watch. Saw on martyrs day. Was a full house. The movie shows contributions of several martyrs, and credits several others in dialogs, Chaphekar bandhu, flamboyant Madanlal Dingra, Khudiram Bose, Anant kanhere and many more. The effect where the leaders of freedom movement directly talk to audience was interesting. Having visited Andaman jail and seen the cells, I could relate to scenes in Cellular jail. The scenes of solitary confinement are well enacted. The scenes covering mercy petitions bring to life the context.
The people who give low star rating have not seen the movie as the comments are a old narrative and not anything about movie. They have a agenda.
Some people would have liked movie had they shown Sanjay Leela Bhansali like dance numbers like Bajirao and padmavat movie.
Most people today like movie like Animal.
Rajnikant, Rohit Shetty should make other version of movie focusing only on action scenes VFX. The London episode and escape from port hole can itself be a full movies.
