‘Ae Watan Mere Watan’ movie review: Sara Ali Khan leads this fancy dress show

The Hindu  

When radio sets were airing Winston Churchill’s mann ki baat and the Congress leadership was incarcerated, an intrepid, young Usha Mehta came up with the idea of a covert radio station to reignite the Quit India Movement by instilling patriotic fervour through airwaves. This unsung but important strand of the Indian freedom movement is undone by heavy-handed treatment in Kannan Iyer’s Ae Watan Mere Watan. Instead of taking us to the period, the well-meaning venture unspools like a fancy dress show where actors seemingly read out their character sketches from cue cards. Ae Watan Mere Watan Director: Kannan Iyer Cast: Sara Ali Khan, Sparsh Srivastav, Abhay Verma, Anand Tiwari, Sachin Khedekar and Emraan Hashmi Run-time: 132 minutes Storyline: When a brave young girl starts an underground radio station to spread the word about the Quit India movement, it sparks a chase with the British authorities However, gradually, in the company of Sparsh Srivastav, playing a polio-afflicted freedom fighter named Fahad, she settles into the role and, more importantly, the period.
