Technical Review : Though this movie is Director Karan Singh Tyagi’s debut movie but the story is incredible though it’s an adaptation of a book The Case That Shook The Empire: One Man’s Fight For The Truth About The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre’ by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat., Karan Singh has blended this book perfectly on a big screen , the pace of the movie is very fast , the script and screenplay of the movie is gripping and keeps the audience glued to their seats
The Jallianwala Mascare Scene certainly makes one emotional but the movie is not about Patriotism but it’s fight for justice for the genocide conducted by General Dire
The court scenes are incredible and dailogues are hard hitting.
Performances : Its a come back for Akshay Kumar , after Rustom this is the movie that will win him kudos .He has given performance if his lifetime .He Roars in the court and directly tells the British empire to leave our country , he is fantastic on this role , R.Madhvan is introduced in second half but has given a powerful performance, The surprise package is Ananya Pandey who has shed her glamorous avatar and done a fab job as assistant counselor.
Final Words : Its a must watch for all Indians as we need to know the reason behind General Dire’s Conducting Genocide Of Indians , The truth is out there for everyone to see
Ratings : 4*/5*
