Ajit Duara
Though not as impactful, dramatically, as other socio-politically inclined bandit movies in its genre, ‘Sonchiriya’ is cinematically well crafted
The movie is a lightweight project, with a few heavyweight actors, that takes off in fits and starts
A refreshingly different film on a subject not normally trodden by mainstream cinema
The movie is decidedly anti-romantic in the way it tells you a ‘coming out’ story
With the general election upon us, Hindi cinema has been converted into both portfolio and manifesto
The movie is great spectacle, but not hooked up to good story telling
The film asks some hard questions about flaws in a higher education apparatus that relies on skills of rote learning
The patriotism and nationalism that this movie triggers will only impact an audience for a few weeks
