    Amazing! As a big fan or Aamir Khan's, I have to say, that this was probably one of his best movies. You learn a very wonderful message from this movie. I find it just great!
    The Hindi spoken by the English men was very amazing. I could see that it took a lot of dedication by just the fact that it took a couple of years to finish the film.
    I recommend it. A lot.

    Historical movie about the so-called great East-Indian Company, which was dealing with horrible action in the name of trade during the occupation period in Hindustan (Pakistan and India) in the 19th century. The historical Mangal Pandey took action, and this what the movie is about.

    It was beautifully shot, and the message was a positive one. Unfortunately, I have a lot of gripes that prevent me from thoroughly enjoying it. For instance, the voice over narration, which was probably there for an illiterate audience who didn't speak a word of English, felt like it was telling me things I either already knew, or could easily figure out. Many of the female characters were two-dimensional, and seemed to only be put in the movie to add a romantic arc and little else. A shame, seeing as the actresses involved, Amisha Patel and Rani Mukherjee in particular, were fantastic. The movie was fairly decent overall, but felt a little too "epic" for it's own good. It's lengthy running time could've been trimmed down quite a bit. The last twenty minutes, I have to say, are some of the best last twenty minutes I've ever seen in a movie, and that makes up for a lot of the gripes I initially had with it.

    The first thing that it reminded me of was a weaker version of Braveheart. No where near as good but decent all the same. The story is quite sad and not really as powerful as it could have been. A decent film all the same that isn't a complete waste of time, it is slightly enjoyable.
