Aditya Mookerjee

One of the best movies that I can hope to see. I don't think it tries to replicate real life events, but it seems to be very realistic. Churchill isn't shown to be heroic, or a shining star. He is shown confronting or cajoling people wherever he is, including when he is with his own family. I don't feel any empathy or sympathy for his role, because he accepts his lot that comes his way, even if it is unpleasant. Apparently, at the start of the Second World War, his biggest adversary is not Hitler, but people like Lord Halifax (?), and another person, who want him to make peace with Germany. This movie is about how he prevails over them. The King of England is one of his strong critics, but becomes his strongest supporter. At the end of his first audience with the King, the King offers his hand to Churchill to kiss, but then wipes his hand on his own back after Churchill complies. I don't want to give any more away, but if you want to see a war movie without the fighting with guns, then you may really appreciate this movie.

What was really great in the movie was the way Kangana acted near the end of the movie, when she appears as the new CM, waving to the crowd. She acted just like Jayalalithaa. I wish she had acted more like Jayalalithaa in the movie. Arvind Swami did a great job acting like MGR, but I don't know how realistically MGR was portrayed, not having seen him in real life. I realised what an actor Kangana is after having seen the scene which I described. That was worth waiting the whole movie for. I must watch her movies that I missed.

This movie is really one of the best that I have seen. However, I didn't find it extremely entertaining. It's not a regular Bollywood movie. I haven't come across anything like this before. The way the movie is made, the actors don't appear to be acting in a move.

I haven't seen many better movies than this one. Someone in an earlier review said that Jodha Akbar was better, but I found it difficult to sit through that movie. This movie is absolutely engrossing. The acting is top notch by all the actors. This is the best Indian history period film that I can remember to have seen in a long time. The battle sequences could have been more elaborate and detailed as compared to the rest of the movie, but this doesn't take anything away from the movie. Rajiv Masand gave this movie a 2/5 rating, but I went for the movie anyway. I'm not going to stop watching his movie reviews on TV. They're very entertaining in themselves.

Really liked the movie. Better than SOTY 1. I didn't have great expectations, but it was a pleasant experience watching the movie. Ananya and Aditya Seal were very convincing. I feel Aditya is too good looking for his own good. His looks underscore his acting prowess. Watched the movie on Movies Active on Dish TV.

I am a great fan of Joaquin Phoenix, but I found this movie unbearably negative. I only saw about twenty minutes of it. How do people call this movie entertainment? There were mostly young college goers in the multiplex hall, and I don't know what they liked about the movie.

Liked the movie, but was disappointed at the end, for the characters played by Ajay, Rakul Preet and especially Tabu. If two people feel like family, what does a divorce between them supposed to signify for them? That legally they are not related, even though they don't see it that way?

The movie is great, but with an equally flawed ending. The ending is such that there doesn't seem to be any reason for the movie. I'll give the movie 3 stars out of 5.
