Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review r 9 Great film, probably the most I've enjoyed a Bollywood film so far. 'The Tashkent Files' isn't a typical Hindi film, at least compared to the ones I've watched thus far. It takes its time with the story and properly sifts through it, without any songs shoehorned in. I thoroughly felt entertained by it, despite a potentially damaging 144 minute run time. There are some very good performances from the cast. Shweta Basu Prasad is no doubt the star, she puts a lot of emotion into the role of Raagini. Mithun Chakraborty is extremely likeable as Shyam, he keeps the film moving when the focus comes away from Prasad. Naseeruddin Shah is the most noteworthy of the rest, who are all pleasant to watch. I had no knowledge of Lal Bahadur Shastri before this, so it was very interesting to learn bits and pieces about this period of India's history - even if it features disputed elements and the usual creative license that films use. I think they tell it very well, with/without the aforementioned. I watched this on the UK's Zee Cinema channel, who broadcasted a version with a crap tonne of censorship over names, countries, organisations etc. It actually turned into an amusing little game to try and guess what was behind the blur! In seriousness though, this is most definitely worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall a good conspiracy movie but the lead actress dsnt know how to act and present on-stage emotions. Wont see any movie wt her on the lead on the future. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member American political mysteries like - Was the moon mission actually conducted ? Or Was the 911 attacks a plot by the government itself ? Or Is American Government secretly studying something in Area 51 ? are always debatable but this movie was a wake-up call for Indians who thought India always had a cleaner slate. This movie did have some intensifying background score but songs/album was not required, which dragged down the pace of the movie. Considering a low budget movie, it spread its scenes to most and best of Delhi which was on pars. At some parts, the movie didn't seem to be well shot/edited. The movie has some amazing dialogues. Perfect on par pitches and delivery by such amazing veterans. Again the budget/censorship plays the anchor as a lot of dialogues were faded and unclear. Actors Mithun, Naseeruddin, Sweta as lead carried the movie beautifully. Pankaj, Vinay and Rajesh in their characters kept the sane and real. Splendid Mandira Bedi on her performance where she was most complex and motive-oriented character. Direction and Story by Vivek Agnihotri was the only reason this movie is recommended. The movie may seem to be biased due to elections and propoganda, but hope that everyone sees it with open mind. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
