Mangal pandey

The movie would have been a good one if they had not added movie masala like songs, prostitutes and distorted facts. The role of Amisha was unnecessary and projected a regressive siide of india. The movie was an exercise in projecting Khan who I understand had creative control over the script. The movie ran into controversy with people being dropped and getting replacements at the last minute, which by itself showed that there was not much role for the replacement.The role of jwala was earlier offfered to Ash in a half baked manner and she dropped out of it. With the amount of money spent on prdouction, it could have been much better. Definitely it was not worth paying 7 Crores to Khan as his fees as read in the newspapaers. Photography was slick, locations were nice. The film had many things ging for it but fell short of expectations and the hype. The movie was not able to keep me glued to the seat, but it was reasonably enjoyable.
