Story:- Film is all set
in the 17th century on the great leader Tanaji Malusare the great leader and one of the honest man of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
As per the Purandars treaty, Shivaji Maharaj had to donate some forts to Mughal
emperor Aurangzeb. It also included the fort Kondhana. As time passes on, Shivai Maharaj finds
out that Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb is all set to make Kondhana as the base in
the dakkan. He sends his trusted man bloody killer Udaybhan Rathod to Kondhana
to make it much stronger. Shivaji Maharaj decides to stop him via Guerilla
warfare techniques and he too plans to recapture the Kondhana. For this
mission, he starts searching the experienced man since Kondhana was difficult
to capture since it was on situated on much away from sea level. Meanwhile, his
men suggest Tanaji Malusare is perfect for this mission. But, Shivajiraje declines
this proposal since Tanaji was busy in the marriage ceremony of his son Raiba. As
soon as Tanaji comes to know this news, he assures to recapture the Kondhana
and he decides to postpone the marriage(Adhi lagin kondhanache mag raibache). He
gives a tough fight to capture the fort. He recaptures it but he loses his life.
Director Om Raut is
successful in writing the perfect story. He has stuck to the story. He has
taken some cinematic liberty on some characters.
He has focused more on the practical
surgical strikes done by the Tanhaji and his army.
2 hours keep you entertaining
with the action, best CGI effects, kicking background music. The writer has taken
care not to do too much fiction in doing the film. Hence, no one loses
their interest while watching the film. The climax is nothing but a spectacular and
USP. CGI effects are too good.
Ajay Devgan looks very
intense in the role. His loyalty towards swaraj, his bonding with Shivaji
Maharaj, his thoughts on his fellow mavalas….he again proves that he is the
best.
Kajol is too good.
Sharad Kelkar gets a lots
of whistles on his role of Shivaji Maharaj.
Saif Ali Khan has plays the
cruel role but he tends to look funny in many scenes.
In the end, Chatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj wins and it charges our hidden emotions with
the chant “ Har Har Mahadev''
Such films should be made
and they should be watched again and again
only in theatre to know about Shivaji
Maharaj and Tanaji Malusare.
