The rising is basically yet another cruel manipulation of Indian history in order to woo back lost Indian film goers.The director himself is unable to portray a definite genre.It is a commercialized history tale with flashy colors,music and dialogs meant to hit hard on any patriot.The truth is Amir Khan's long exile from filmdom created a hype which he was not able to live up to.
The movie starts of with a flashback of a blossoming friendship between Amir and an English army man.The slapstick comedy sequence when they both get drunk is another example of how Hindi films have failed to evolve.However Amir had put up a commendable performance and maintained a constant tempo throughout the film.Rani Mukherjee was trying her hand at being a pre-independence glam doll and though fictitious she performed her character quite well.Amisha Patel was just pathetic.They shud banish her from the face of Indian cinema (the Indian counterpart of hillary duff or lindsay lohan who cant act).The audio dubbing had flaws which made certain scenes sound like scenes from a live play.The unnecessarily bright songs and dance sequences deviate from the core concept of the film.All the British actors did their roles well.The fact that the Hindi version of the movie contains a lot of English dialogs make us doubt if the movie was made to appeal to the patriotic Indian masses.Morever i think Indian directors have to do their movie homework before shooting something.i doubt if the water spray gun used in the holi song was even invented in 1857.
The music score by A.R.Rahman too could not save this sinking ship. An advice to Hindi directors : make a flawless watchable movie without any hype and surely the Indian people will appreciate.I have nt seen an excellent original Hindi movie in ages.The industry is more interested in the glam and the money.What happened to the good movies?Distorting history to unacceptable proportions is not the sign of a good movie or a good director.Unfortunately i am not allowed to write goofs for the film else i would have had a lot to write.
of course the film has its own share of plus points such as patriotic devour,good music,good British cast but sadly the negatives overshadow them to a great extent which makes "the rising" a disappointment of the highest order.
