When you hear something like hindustan, British or name like Clive, the freedom fighting movement always comes into your mind first. If you are thinking that this movie is based on some historic events then you are so wrong. Yes, there is freedom fighters and the Brits and there is lord Clive but this movie is totally a work of fiction. If you keep this in mind while watching the movie, it doesn't seem that much worse as most of the people are saying. Still 2 hours and 40 minutes for this movie is way too much. If I liked anything about the movie, it were the two persons, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. It was not what what they were acting, it was their acting skills even in such a weak plot and storyline that amazed me the most. And also I felt that the character played by Katrina Kaif was not even needed. If you remove the character from the movie it won't affect any part of the movie except of two songs and the dance, again which were not at all good enough to cover the helplessness of the plot rather it was a cry for help. If you are saying the time was of late 18th century then people didn't use to sing or dance in that way at that time. It was way too modern for that time. Now if there was any chance for me to rate that movie I would rate it 1.5 out of 5.
