Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior movie review — Saif Ali Khan, Kajol's performances elevate Ajay Devgn's tepid film
FirstpostUnlike Saif Ali Khan and Kajol, Ajay Devgn fails to take his character beyond the written word, which makes the protagonist of Tanhaji rather one-dimensional. Language: Hindi Director Om Raut redeems his historical Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior to a large extent with a smashing climax, involving a duel between the titular character and his Rajput nemesis Uday Bhan. The trailer of the film described the battle as ‘a surgical strike’ by a troop of Chhatrapati Shivaji’s Maratha soldiers, led by his right-in-command Tanaji Malusare, on the castle of Gondana, an erstwhile Maratha territory, surrendered to the Mughal Empire four years before as a truce to not invade the rest of the Maratha kingdom. When his first look was released online, it drew instant comparisons to Game of Thrones character Jon Snow and Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Alauddin Khilji from Padmaavat.
