Hey Ram should have been called Legend of Smooching Ram! See the image if you don’t believe me. So many smooches in this film. I thought I was watching porn film.
The film is set during partition time. It tells story of Ram, (a archeologist) who has a Muslim friend Amjad (Sr Khan in a small and good role) and a beautiful Bong wife (Rani Mukherjee). Ram smooches and has lots of adult fun with his wife, pinching her backside etc. But suddenly things change. Jinnah demands Pakistan. Riots break in undivided India. Ram’s wife is raped and killed by some Muslims.
Ram begins to hate Muslims. He joins the RSS. He also gets married again to Vasundhra Das and has more fun. But duty calls and he goes on a mission to kill Gandhiji who he feels is aiding Muslim. But something dramatic happens
Kamal Haasan said that the concept of movie was to show that some else could have planned to kill Gandhi besides Godse. Concept is commendable.
Everyone in the movie has acted well, but they are all like support system (even Shahrukh) to Kamal Haasan who seem to be obsessed with himself. Music is below average.
I will recommend this movie for reality in all forms – history, relationships, and sex.
Well done KH but you can make the movie a little short by decreasing you role a little bit.
