The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Filmmaker Ramesh Taurani has given a glowing first review of Sunny Deol's 'Batwara 1947', which releases on August 14. Taurani called the film 'extremely sensitive, emotional and humanitarian'. He urged audiences to watch it on the first day, first show.
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, the movie is set against the 1947 Partition. Sunny Deol plays a Muslim man who moves to Lahore with his family after Partition. The film also stars Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Karan Deol. Its box office clash is with Imran Hashmi's 'Awaraapan 2', which is ahead in advance bookings.
The Indian Opinion
Another Partition film in a year where Bollywood seems to keep digging up the same wound without moving on. The early review from a filmmaker friend is predictably gushy, but the real test will be whether audiences are tired of this period-piece formula. With 'Awaraapan 2' leading advance bookings, the question isn't how good the film is, but how many will actually buy tickets to watch yet another retelling of 1947's tragedy.
