Cast: Vinay Pathak, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ranvir Shorey, Tannishtha Chatterjee.Direction: Ananth Narayan Mahadevan.Genre: Biography.Duration: 1 hour 51 minutes
Story: The film is a heart-rending narration of a real-life account of Gandhian 'Gour Hari Das', a silent warrior, who relentlessly waded through endless obstacles, raised by India's corrupt and inefficient system for 30 years, to prove his identity as a freedom fighter.
Review: 'Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow'. And the film's protagonist Gour Hari Das (Vinay Pathak, commendable) embodies this spirit.
Filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan brings to life an extraordinary tale (yet again after making Mee Sindhutai Sapkal) of a man's determination and uncompromising pursuit of truth that provokes our conscience and releases us from the shackles of rising apathy, that's spread like a pandemic. Gour Hari Dastaan not only salutes its unsung hero, but the resilience and indomitable spirit of people like him, who continue to hope, despite the adversities.

As the film shuttles between past and present, you get a glimpse of Gour Hari's early life, his tryst with the country's freedom struggle and its repercussion. Without resorting to dramatic dialogues, it manages to mock the system in the most understated manner.
