Cast: Akhilesh Jain, Om Puri, Jatin Khurana, Prem Chopra, Rati Agnihotri, Rishi Bhutani, Jaiwant PatekarDirection: Milan AjmeraGenre: BiographyDuration: 1 hour 56 minutes
Story: The film chronicles the life of independent India's second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Review: No matter how noble the intent, poor execution cannot be excused. Especially when you attempt to make a biopic, pay an ode to someone who's made a difference to the society.
You need special talent to make a terribly uninspiring film on an inspiring personality. The script makes it evident that no amount of research whatsoever has gone into making of this film. It gives an impression that Shastri's Wikipedia page and history textbooks meant for primary school children were the only reference points, as it doesn't tell you anything about the man that you may not have known before. Significant events in his life - tragic childhood, active participation in the country's freedom struggle, fight to eradicate poverty and caste discrimination, Tashkent Agreement between India and Pakistan, to name a few, have been merely listed in an episodic manner
