	The movie spans a few decades in under 2 hours and a half, so there was no time for much development in characters or historical details. The directorial decision was to have a series of scenes, that are supposed to be strong. The succession of these scenes is clumsy and, IMO, does NOT work. There is simply no dramatic structure whatsoever. Some scenes could have worked, but you just don't feel you were led into them. It's like having a cue card "CRY, THIS IS SAD", but you do not feel compelled to do so. The tone felt... Condescending. As if the audience was a child. I hated the narration in Mangal Pandey for the same reasons. I'd like to think Akshaye did a good job... But... I'm afraid I didn't enjoy him in at all this movie. You're supposed to feel for his character, but the movie worked the wrong way for me, I did NOT feel for him at all. Who would even like that character, seriously!?! There is nothing in his actions that makes him likable. He is truly portrayed as a good for nothing, end of story. I think the major flaws with this movie are the awkward editing and the general condescending tone. Add that to the pretentious expectations they were setting for the hungry audience, and you can't help but feel cheated and insulted. (4/10)
