yeah mangal pandey is one of the most awaited movie of 2005.the movie will definitely become hit,bcoz performance by all co-star is fabalous specially, Tony(holly wood actor).he is the back bone of The rising.amisha was looking gorgeous and rani mukherjee did a fantastic role of prostitute about amir khan asusual at his best.But the full credit goes to ketan mehta.

The hype and the kind of advertising they have done for the movie would prove as drawback for the movie. Its a normal movie very normal, no doubt Amir Khan is brilliant but then too....
Infact, even if you miss out the movie on the big screen you would not regret on this.
If you have an option to go for Mangal Pandey or Virudh, then I would say go for Virudh as the movie gives back more than what you would expect out of it (No I am not praising Amitabh Bachchan), and on the other hand Mangal Pandey doesn't live it upto the expectations and the curiousity built up by the hype.

cannibalized history
by pinaki de on Aug 15, 2005 12:01 AM

how long is bollywood going to take before it grows up and stop cannibalizing history? the rising is a very poor specimen of film making. it fails to connect. not even the fictional parts measure upto any scrutiny that demands serious attention. the script is awful. dhondy messed it up in kisna. ditto for the rising.
the song and dance routines are horrible and just doesn't gel with the narrative. a very bad experience on my part.

The attempts by the likes of Komal to say 1000 prints were released

The attempts by the likes of Komal Nahta to say 1000 prints of -Mangal Pandey , The Rising - were being released (in Film Information) are the type of things that will create doubts about the success of the movie .The fact is that just about 400 plus prints of Mangal Pandey were actually released .

Now , we all know Komal's close relations with Yash Raj are not in doubt but he is more like a foolish friend rather than an intelligent enemy .

hype could do the trick
by sunil on Aug 14, 2005 09:17 PM

The film comes nowhere near the expectations of most people. The film is very ordinary especially RAHMANS music,AMISHA'S and RANI'S charecters hardly noteworthy.
But the attention it got from the media and various statistics regarding AAMIR's fee etc.. could play the trick in determining its fate at the box office.
It might as well be a huge hit which it definitely does not desreve.

I think Mangal Panday should be an inspiring movie for Indians as it show cases the pain and revolt people had to go through during the pre-independence of India.

.........Mmmmmmm MANGAL PANDEY, han! Its a well-made movie... has too much masala, unsual for Aamir Khan. Its more like an SRK venture. But Aamir & Toby do well. So go watch it if u r a die-hard AK fan!

rating of mangal pandey
by Rohit Jagota on Aug 14, 2005 06:20 PM

The movie was a big disappointment and is comes no where near laagan or even the legend of bhagat singh for that matter. The movie starts of ok but fails to grasp the audience attention after that. The main reason for that being unscheduled song sequence in the movie and the short roles of rani mukherjee and amisha patel. The movie also just shows some minor details of the revolt of 1857, which just adds insullt to injury, as there should have been more scenes about the revolt. The movie also ends abruply. The only plus point of the movie is Aamir Khan's acting songs are also a major turn off
