Om Raut's Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero is a weak attempt to glorify the Maratha warrior. The director takes a lot of CGI help, which makes the film a grand affair, but poor writing and its slow pace make it unbearable in parts. The action sequences have been shot with absolutely zero consideration for basic Physics.Men are walking on the walls parallel to the ground and there's no logic behind how the ropes are able to pull the men by just being hung on the sidewalls of the fort. We understand that Issac Newton was a few years late in discovering gravity (he discovered it in 1687 and the Battle of Sinhagarh was fought in 1670), but then again, gravity always existed. No?
The frequent references to bhagwa (saffron) and patriotism is again questionable. In the trailer, the makers introduce the Battle of Sinhagarh, which was fought on February 4, 1670, as the 'surgical strike' that shook the Mughal empire. Exactly what the makers are trying to draw parallels with is an answer you get no prize for guessing.The extremely talented Sharad Kelkar as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj appears to have been wasted in the role. He doesn't have much meat to his character.
The good things about Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior are its cinematography and story-telling. Sanjay Mishra as the narrator is also a surprise. The film looks grand and beautiful, which can help it fetch audiences to the theatres. Its songs, which are again majorly about flaunting masculinity, are upbeat and will strike a chord with cinegoers. The music credits are shared by Sachet-Parampara, Ajay-Atul and Mehul Vyas.
Tanaji was a valiant Maratha warrior, but he was a human. By showing a human being with extraordinary capabilities by exaggerating his qualities, to the point of making him unbelievably superhuman, the makers lose an opportunity. They end up turning this historical hero into a fictional creation and not a flesh-and-blood person who can inspire the upcoming generations.
2.5 stars out of 5 for Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
