As far as Rising is concerned it is very tough to comment before its release. Still it is sure that it would be a nice movie. What attracts me towards the movie is its visuals along with the soundtrack of Mangal ho. I have heard certain comments regarding the film that Mangal Pandey became a Hero Accidently and thus it is not a right script.
I just want to say that even Lagaan was not a Right script and still it was a big hit. Basically the aim is to potray the feeling of the revolt of 1857. Thus we cant give reviews based on this irrelevant fact. People over have the habit of critising good scripts. They will say that what Swades has shown is irrelevant, Mangal Pandey is not the appropriete theme but they will never see that these are good qulity movies. Atleast we are making good movies and they are not filled with irrelevent porn stuff.
I am sure that Aamir has done this film with lot of efforts and thus it will surely succeed.So all Aamir lovers just cross your fingers. It would surely be a very good movie.
