Web Series Review: THE REVOLUTIONARIES is a grand, compelling and well-performed historical drama

Star Cast: Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta, Gurfateh Singh Pirzada Director: Nikkhil Advani Synopsis: THE REVOLUTIONARIES is the story of unsung heroes. Rash Behari Bose (Bhuvan Bam) is an assistant professor in the chemistry department of a college in Dehradun. He has successfully created the impression that he is firmly loyal to the British Crown. In reality, he is secretly plotting to strike at the Empire. On December 23, 1912, he, along with Basanta Kumar Biswas (Rajdeep Bhattacharya), hurls a self-made bomb at the convoy of Lord Hardinge (Richard John Maddison), the Viceroy and Governor-General of India. Hardinge survives, though he is severely injured in the attack. Lt Col Reginald Edward Harry Dyer (Jason Shah) is deeply disturbed by the incident and vows to track down the culprit. His investigation brings him to Dehradun, but Rash Behari Bose escapes in the nick of time. Severely injured, Rash reaches Benaras, where the Sanyal family, headed by Abani (Tota Roy Chaudhary), takes care of his treatment and recovery. The Sanyals have secretly been helping revolutionaries while ensuring that the British remain completely unaware of their activities. Meanwhile, Abani's nephew, Sachindra Nath Sanyal (Rohit Saraf), is no longer content remaining in the shadows. Inspired by Rash Behari Bose, he wants to actively participate in the freedom struggle. While Rash is recuperating at the Sanyal mansion, Sachindra is introduced to Pratibha (Pratibha Ranta) as a prospective bride. Pratibha develops feelings for Sachindra after learning about his revolutionary leanings. Meanwhile, Dyer gets an indication that Rash Behari Bose may be hiding in Benaras and arrives in the holy city. What happens next forms the rest of the series. The Revolutionaries Story Review: THE REVOLUTIONARIES is adapted from the book 'Revolutionaries: The Other Side Of How India Won Its Freedom' by Sanjeev Sanyal. Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh, Akshita Wadhwana, Shobhit Narang and Rutvi Mehta's story is truly fascinating as it throws light on those freedom fighters that the aam junta might not know about. Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh, Akshita Wadhwana, Shobhit Narang and Rutvi Mehta's screenplay is very captivating and also moving in some places. However, the writing gets stretched in some places. Sanyuktha Chawla Shaikh, Akshita Wadhwana, Shobhit Narang and Rutvi Mehta's dialogues are heroic while remaining firmly in sync with the world and tone of the series. Nikkhil Advani's direction is supreme. THE REVOLUTIONARIES is mounted on a grand scale and it is evident that it is an expensive production. Nikkhil does full justice to the grandeur. More importantly, the series tells the stories of revolutionaries whose names may be familiar to many, but whose extraordinary exploits are not widely known. In fact, viewers would be amazed to learn about what these freedom fighters managed to pull off and how their actions later inspired several other great revolutionaries. And thats not all. Dyer is largely associated with the ghastly Jallianwala Bagh massacre. This web series attempts to shed light on his life before that infamous episode, though the entire track of him chasing Rash Behari Bose is fictional. Nevertheless, the show effectively brings out his devious mindset and childhood trauma. The freedom fighters are well etched as characters and hence, one constantly roots for them. Several nail-biting sequences stand out, including the thrilling chase in Dehradun, the raid at Bengali Tola in Benaras, the fake funeral in Benaras, the firing in Chandernagore and its aftermath, Pratibhas daring entry in Chandernagore and the plane crash sequence. The madness at the docks is another highlight, while the climax is memorable. On the flipside, the web series is too lengthy. There are eight episodes, most of which have a run time of 50 minutes. The makers pack in too much with several characters. Ideally, they should have shortened the proceedings. A few characters like the ever-coughing Kirpal Singh (Riyansh Taneja) appear all of a sudden. Sachindra Nath and Pritabhas love story develops too quickly and is unconvincing. Even though the love story and the songs are fine, they often take away from the realism of the series. The makers probably wanted to make the series more commercial, but the shift in tonality seems abrupt in some places. The Revolutionaries Performances: Bhuvan Bam is astonishing in the role of Rash Behari Bose. The actor has a certain image owing to his funny videos and hence, entrusting him with such a serious role is a risk. Thankfully, it pays off. He has the maximum screen time and delivers a performance that will be remembered. Rohit Saraf, too, breaks his image and comes up with a terrific and heroic act. At the same time, he also impresses in the romantic portions, something that his fans have always loved. Pratibha Ranta leaves a huge mark yet again after LAAPATAA LADIES [2024]. Her character is also quite well fleshed out. Gurfateh Singh Pirzada (Bagha Jatin) makes his presence felt with his performance and screen presence, though he gets a bit overshadowed by the other actors. Jason Shah is outstanding as the antagonist and gets the nuances just right. Tota Roy Chaudhary delivers a dependable performance. Paoli Dam (Pishima) is a revelation, bringing genuine gravitas and grit to the screen. Avijit Dutt (Vishnu Chandra Sanyal) and Kashish Saluja (Kartar Singh Sarabha) make a strong impression. Pratik Laxman Motwani (Maan Singh) gets to play a crucial role and impresses. Riyansh Taneja is over-the-top and unintentionally funny as he plays a character who has supposedly been coughing every 20 or 30 seconds for ten years! Athena Loanna Wyn Vlachos (Rebecca O'Malley) and Liana Hu (Suzie; Chinatown) have limited screen time and yet, are memorable. Others who do well are Richard John Maddison, Edward Lorimer Barnabas Robinson (DCP Charles Tegart), Neil Bhoopalam (Lala Har Dayal), K C Shanker (P N Tagore) and Rajdeep Bhattacharya. The Revolutionaries music and other technical aspects: Songs are decent and well-woven into the narrative. Maahiya stands out due to its choreography and picturization. Jai Durga is grand while Aur Aayenge is exhilarating. Ashutosh Pathak's background score is in sync with the mood and theme. Gairik Sarkar's cinematography enhances the film's visual appeal and grandeur. Amin Khatib's action is entertaining, with only a few scenes turning gory. Zenia Daruvala's costumes and Surabhi Verma's production design effectively recreate the bygone era. The VFX by PhantomFX, Light N Light VFX Studios and Ensision VFX Private Limited is appropriate in some portions, though it looks unrealistic in several scenes. Special mention should go to Dynamite Design's title design, which is quite immersive. Sagar Manik's editing is satisfactory, though it could have been sharper in a few places. The Revolutionaries Review Conclusion: On the whole, THE REVOLUTIONARIES is a grand, compelling and well-performed historical drama that succeeds in bringing the remarkable stories of lesser-known freedom fighters to the forefront. Rating - 3.5 stars

Saif Ali Khan says Cocktail was a slightly regressive script choice; calls it inevitable mistake

Saif Ali Khan has opened up about two films from his career, Cocktail and Humshakals, admitting that he considers his decision to act in the former a mistake. In a conversation with Gulf News, the actor explained that he took on the lead role in Cocktail primarily because he was producing the film and wanted to ensure that the project was completed. Released in 2012, Cocktail starred Saif alongside Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. While looking back at the film, Saif said, I did the part because we were producing it; it was an inevitable mistake, 100 per cent that was a mistake, and that was a slightly regressive script choice. Otherwise, it was a breezy, fun entertainer. The actor explained that his decision was not driven by the appeal of his character. I didnt do it for the role; I did it so the film could get made. You do things for various reasons. I knew fully well that the exciting role is the Veronica part but its one of those things you do anyway, he added. Saif Ali Khan says he was miscast in Humshakals Saif also reflected on Sajid Khans 2014 comedy Humshakals, admitting that he believes the bigger issue was his casting rather than the film itself. I personally think that I was a miscast in Humshakals because its not my thing. Certain actors could really pull that off, and you need a kind of commitment and the ability to make people laugh on a very slightly different level, which perhaps I wasnt able to convince myself to do or wasnt just basically good enough in it, Saif said. The actor also suggested that Sajid Khan may have expected him to approach the comedy in a different way. I think Sajid expected me to do that stuffperhaps.like Akshay Kumar could have done it; that was the mistake, but I stand by the movie, and I stand by him (Sajid), and of course, we have to all stand by our movies, he said. On the work front, Saif Ali Khan is gearing up for Haiwaan, a crime thriller starring him alongside Akshay Kumar. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film also features Shriya Pilgaonkar and Saiyami Kher in key roles. Haiwaan is scheduled to release in theatres on September 11.

Tusshar Kapoor says being a star kid is an Agneepath in a sense: You get your first break, but

Tusshar Kapoor has opened up about the advantages and challenges of being born into a film family, reflecting on the expectations that came with being the son of veteran actor Jeetendra. In an exclusive conversation with The Free Press Journal, the actor acknowledged that a film family can make getting a debut easier, but stressed that sustaining a career and making a film successful remain outside an actors control. Speaking about the pressure associated with being the son of an established star, Tusshar said there is often a greater expectation from actors who come from prominent film families. He said the industry and trade can be particularly critical, with achievements sometimes being viewed through a more demanding lens. When you are from a film family, an accomplished stars son, you know, son of an accomplished star, I mean, then there is an expectation, especially within the film industry or within the trade, where no matter how much you do, the glass is always considered half empty rather than half full. So you have to always surpass yourself. So initially, of course, I had a tough time, you know, trying to ignore the noise that comes with being a stars son. Its not a red carpet for sure. Of course, theres a huge battalion of pull-downers who were waiting for you to fall. Tusshar Kapoor on blocking out the noise The actor also credited his experience of living independently for helping him deal with the scrutiny surrounding his career. Tusshar said that living abroad and away from his family helped him develop an individual identity and gave him the ability to focus on his work rather than outside opinions. But the fact that Ive lived abroad, lived on my own, and found myself as an individual, living away from family, gave me the strength to really be able to block that noise out, no matter how overwhelming it got at certain points. I used to just block it out and just show up for work, show up for my classes. Yeah. I was training at that point. I would show up for work and just try to do my thing in my own way, in my track, and not focus on whatever is being said or what is being written. And then the film spoke for itself. You get your first break Tusshar acknowledged that having a family connection to the film industry can provide an entry point that may be harder for outsiders to access. However, he emphasised that getting a debut does not automatically translate into success. So yes, its an Agneepath in a sense but one has to be grateful that, you know, getting your first film is easier when you are from a family that belongs to the film fraternity. You get your first break. But us film ko complete karna, us film ko logon ke saamne tak lana, aur film ka chalna, woh aapke haath mein nahin hai. So thats the only advantage we have with all these disadvantages; thats the only advantage we have: that you get a break. You are more accessible to people who want to launch star sons. Tusshar made his acting debut with Jeena Sirf Merre Liye in 2002 and has since worked across comedy, drama and other genres in Hindi cinema. His latest comments reflect on the continuing conversation around privilege, expectations and the challenges of building an identity within the film industry.
