Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran (2018)
Amazing story in wrong hands
Pokhran test is one of the most important historic events of our nation. There was a huge potential to make this story a classic movie. But if you give an amazing story to a bunch of people who grew up watching typical Hindi Masala movie such as Hum Apke hai Kaun and so on, what do you expect?. This team has made this historic event into a typical Hindi Masala with songs, dance, overacting, poor comedy and so on. I was thrilled when I saw that a movie was made based on this incident, but I was totally devastated by the quality. Even the folks who gave high ratings here have not seen good movies in my humble opinion, but grew up watching the likes of Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan masala. Lakshya was a much better movie compared to this, even with the masala in it. Directors should understand the context, and avoid unnecessary fillings such as poor comedy, Love and so on. This movie should have been realistic, and not "masaledar", and as a patriot, I hate it when someone distorts a true story of National importance!!

Pathetic Movie
Just watched this movie. My only advice is- do not bother watching this, it is pathetic. It is just style and no substance. If you want to watch a Hindi movie, there are excellent ones out there, but not this. There should be some logic in the storyline to digest. Look at this, a stadium full of 20000 people are in danger and the only set of people who can rescue them are five Indians, one of them being a Canadian police officer. Why can't they at least involve Canadian Law Enforcement? Just doesn't make sense. Indian Police officers, who are in Canada, illegally investigating something and just killing people as and when they like and just getting away with it. Anti Terror Cell in India are full of 6 feet tall, fair, blue eyed male officers and the lady officers looks like they all just came out of some modeling school!! They wanted to imitate some Hollywood action movies, but I don't think they were successful in that. If you are a person who grew up watching sensible movies, whatever genre it may be, you are not going to like this one. But if you are a person who believes just in style and want some typical Hindi style entertainment with some good songs, go for it.
