Airlift hindi movie online with english subtitles

However the merit of the film shined through at the various international film festivals where it was shown. Given its subject matter вЂ“ dark days leading to the partition of India вЂ“ the film ran into troubles with the certification board and eventually got a very low profile release. Featuring Nirmal Pandey, Rajit Kapur and Divya Dutta in prominent roles вЂTrain to PakistanвЂ™ is as poignant and controversial as the book. You will be forgiven for not hearing about this film before but by no means is it forgettable. Director Pamela Rooks sticks to the book as much as possible but makes a few minor changes here and there to give her film a more cinematic feel.

Train to Pakistan (1998)ДЄs the name itself suggests it is based on Khushwant SinghвЂ™s true to life and hard hitting novel вЂTrain to PakistanвЂ™. Akshay Kumar was simply brilliant in the role of Ranjit Katyal, the man who master minded the entire rescue operation that the world witnessed and admired in awe. Director Raja Krishna Menon took care that the mass appeal of the film and the seriousness of the subject didnвЂ™t interfere with each other and the result was an engaging film with immense historical and cultural value. Thanks to the film a generation of Indians took notice and felt pride of an event which would have otherwise gotten lost in general knowledge books and archived newspapers. It is a perfect example of how cinema can contribute to the highlighting of unsung heroes and relatively less glorified events and provide entertainment at the same time. вЂAirliftвЂ™ deserves all the praise and love that it got as it brought to light a very significant but lesser known to public event in Indian history вЂ“ the 1990 airlift of Indians from Kuwait. Despite mixed reviews and discouraging box office revenues in India the film got a rousing reception at the 2005 Locarno International Film Festival where Ketan Mehta won the NETPAC Special Jury award. Naturally there were protests and demands of ban from leading political parties which also helped the film to stay in the news prior to its release. Mehta took a tad too many creative liberties in his version of retelling of the heroism of Mangal Pandey, the perpetrator of the first war of Indian independence. Alas it wasnвЂ™t the case with вЂMangal Pandey: The RisingвЂ™. Add the star power of Aamir Khan to it and we have a delectable trio who should have won the box office hands down. Ketan Mehta and historical dramas go hand in hand.
