Sara Ali Khan’s film ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan’ released on Prime Video, know how is the review of the movie – Dainik Savera Times

Mumbai: Ae Watan Mere Watan Movie Review: Sara Ali Khan does not leave much of an impact in this simple film. Dainik Savera Times and News Media Network have given the film a 2 out of 5 star rating. It is 1942. Resistance against British rule in the subcontinent is at its peak: Mahatma Gandhi is on the verge of uttering his ‘Do or Die’ slogan, which along with other famous freedom fighters would become a battle cry for ordinary citizens. All of whom are mustering their energy for a final effort to drive out the invaders.

But this is not going to be an easy task, as discovers young Usha Mehta (Sara Ali Khan), the daughter of a barrister (Sachin Khedekar) who resents her patriotic activities. The leaders of Quit India movement are in jail. The British rulers are using violence on the streets and torture in cells to break the back of the revolutionaries. Along with her close friends and fellow young patriots, Kaushik (Abhay Verma) who loves her, and Fahadh (Sparsh Srivastava), Usha contemplates using radio as a means of rebellion. The film throws light on the freedom fighters and the agitated youth who took to the streets joining hands for the Quit India Movement.

The chest-beating patriotism with slogans of Aye Watan Mere Watan Jai Hind and Vande Mataram takes precedence, often leading to brawls between the youth and the British police force. During the journey, his meeting with Ram Manohar Lohia (Emraan Hashmi) gives a new direction to his revolution, and then begins a thrilling chase with the British authorities. Sara, who was seen in a very glamorous avatar in Netflix India’s film Murder Mubarak, released last week, is seen in a completely de-glam role in Ae Watan Mere Watan. However, it is interesting to see how their attire changes from cotton suits and neatly draped dupattas to cotton sarees and puffed-sleeve blouses.

He seemed to have put all his strength into this restrained performance, but considering Sara’s personality, it seemed a bit incongruous. She never reassures you like Usha or someone who would be so subtle in her actions. However, there is a particular scene where she enters a mosque hiding behind a burqa, and it is quite well played. Directed by Kannan Iyer, who debuted a decade ago with the supernatural horror film Ek Thi Daayan, Ae Watan Mere Watan isn’t as impactful as it should have been, because it lacks the elements that instantly resonate in an era in which news is a long, silly read. Are in the middle of the season.

Dainik Savera Times and News Media Network rated the film 2 out of 5 stars.
