Nawazuddin Siddiqui – He is a great actor. With every movie, he seems to be getting polished. A very challenging role of Mr. Dashrath Manjhi also known as "Mountain Man" done effortlessly. Most part of the movie is in Bright Sunlight with this guy hammering some rocks, it’s a challenging task. But the efforts put in has not received justice with only about 5-6 Cr Box Office collection. Nevertheless, we will definitely see Nawaz & the director (Ketan Mehta) a number of times during the critics awards.
Radhika Apte – She is so cute. No makeup (or minimum), with very simple & awkwardly draped Saree around her, yet she looks so pretty (At-least to me).
Dialogues – Being a north Indian, I can understand how much efforts the dialogue writer must have put in to preserve the typical Bihari flavour. Very simple but yet some very impressive dialogues.
Being a typical biographical film, the movies progresses with a very slow pace & brings in the story simultaneously. Some scenes, like trying to impress her lady with those old age dialogues & gifts, the guy licking the walls of a well to feel some moisture during the drought are so impressive that they stay with you for some time & make you think about it.
Acting-great, Story-great, music- not good, visuals – good. Dialogues – great.
The movie in bits feels like have stretched a bit, but over all a great bio-epic. Recommended
Respect Mr. Dashrath Manjhi, wish you were alive, would have got all the respect & love you starved for.
