‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’ movie review: Between fervour and fatigue

The Hindu  

There is a condition called period drama/historical fatigue and I must admit that I am suffering a wee bit from it. However, the fictionalised account of the life of Tanaji Malusare, one of Maratha emperor Shivaji's bravest generals, has a comic-book, swashbuckler touch that manages to work; partially if not entirely. It’s part of Aurangzeb’s plan to use the strategic fort as the base for Mughal expansion into South India and the fort is in control of his Rajput officer Udaybhan Rathod. Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior Director: Om Raut Starring: Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Saif Ali Khan, Sharad Kelkar Storyline: Fictionalised account of the life of Tanaji Malusare, Shivaji’s military leader, who recaptured the Kondhana fort for the Marathas from the Mughals Run time: 131 minutes Things kick off well what with the flying entry of Devgn. Saif Ali Khan plays the manic, unhinged character who’d chop off an elephant’s trunk without so much as blinking and eats crocodile meat.
