Tamar L Riveting, emotional, powerful, inspiring film. A poignant drama that brought me tears. Deals with deep, interesting themes of purpose, spirituality, and societal transformation. Anant Joshi is incandescent as Yogi Adityanath. Many fine performances. Action is fast paced; the story intriguing. Music perfectly tuned for high energy, emotional impact. Directed well. I loved seeing the textures of the landscape of Uttarkhand and Uttar Pradesh, evokes the holy places of India with artistry and care. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Raghavendra S An excellently directed biopic. The region shown in the movie was once rife with mafia activity, which Ajey uprooted completely. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Anumeha M This movie is a must watch showcasing fearless leadership in its truest form.The cast delivers outstanding performances ,with Anant V Joshi portrayal of yogi adityanath being particularly noteworthy.The film also also features exceptional performances from seasoned actors Paresh Rawal and Pawan Malhotra, who consistently bring depth and nuance to their roles. Their presence is a testament to the talent in our industry. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for compelling story with strong performances Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Audience Member "A Riveting Portrait of Conviction and Rise — Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi" Ajey: The Untold Story of a Yogi grips you with a tale of faith, ambition, and transformation. Anant Joshi shines as Ajay Singh Bisht—tracing his path from the remote villages of Uttarakhand, through spiritual awakening, to the political stage as Yogi Adityanath. He brings not just physical transformation, but an emotional honesty that makes the character’s convictions feel lived-in. Paresh Rawal, as Mahant Avaidyanath, lends gravitas and a dignified mentorship, grounding the film with heartfelt authority. Supporting roles by Dinesh Lal Yadav, Pavan Malhotra, Rajesh Khattar, and Garima Vikrant Singh add texture and weight, making the ensemble performance powerful. Director Ravindra Gautam, known for Maharani 2, handles this biopic with care — weaving together moments of quiet spiritual earnestness and the turbulence of public life. The screenplay by Dilip Bachchan Jha and Priyank Dubey maintains a strong narrative throughline, consistently highlighting Yogi’s values and resolve. Visually, Vishnu Rao captures contrasting landscapes with sensitivity—from the serene Himalayas to the charged political arenas—while the score by Meet Bros amplifies both the devotional and dramatic arcs without ever feeling overbearing. What this film truly excels at is inspiration: it’s not just about what Ajey becomes, but who he is, and how his journey might resonate with anyone who’s ever dared to believe in something larger than themselves. Ajey is an uplifting cinematic journey, well-suited for those who appreciate biographical dramas that celebrate conviction, service and leadership.
