Really Mangal Pandey has fall below expectations.We had really expected the movie especially ’ Amir khan acted film’ to be something classy & mindblowing.But it is nowhere near to it.If we compare it with Lagaan, then it cannot match even 10 percent of it.Where a simple character of Bhuban was able to shake up the total britishers, the heroic character of Mangal Pandey was proved to be a very light hearted one.The battles of mangal in the film was very short & was not picturised properly.Perhaps the battle with the britishers should have lengthened a bit & should have possessed such dialogues & scenes which would have shaken the audience & would have thrusted a pinch of patriotism in them.No doubt as a Amir khan movie it will do well, but as a film it falls way below the expectations.The audience wantd those attributes in Mangal pandey, as have really happened which should have shaken the roots of east India Company like the simple sikh who tored apart the pakistanis single handedly in Gadar.However both the script & picturisation seemed to be wayward and although as a actor Amir excels yet this sort of movie was not expected from him after a long wait of 4 years.
