Begum Jaan : Hard hitting cinema

Glad Srijit Mukherji took the reins and directed the Hindi version of the much acclaimed Bengali movie 2014 release 'Rajkahini'. Freedom comes with a heavy price which means a lot of painful sacrifices and alas we still remain prisoners. This is not a feel good movie but a great piece of art which bound to make you think about the not so good past read partition. Acting by every actor in this movie is superlative. Vidya Balan proves yet again she is one of the best actress we have in Bollywood. I always thought Gauhar Khan had the potential when i saw her in Rocket Singh Saleman (2009) and Ishaaqzade (2012) unfortunately Bollywood never utilized it to the maximum,glad she was chosen for the role of Rubina, she does full justice and more. Rest of the cast comprising of Pallavi Sharda,Rajesh Sharma,Chunky Pandey,Ashish Vidyarthi,Rajit Kapur,Ila Arun,Vivek Mushraan,Naseeruddin Shah,Pitobash and the rest have done a wonderful job. Srijit Mukherji take a bow once again :) A big round of applause :) Recommended for the brilliant performances and hard hitting story.
