Acting and Direction
Riteish Deshmukh does a good job in his role. Sanjay Dutt looks calm but dangerous, and Abhishek Bachchan adds strong emotions. The rest of the cast also does a good job. Genelia’s scenes are touching, and Salman Khan’s cameo is a nice surprise.
The direction feels grand and emotional. Some parts are a bit long, but the strong scenes keep it interesting. The music by Ajay-Atul makes the film more powerful. Overall, it’s a big and emotional film that connects well with history and Swarajya.
