The lesson of history is often forgotten by humans. These lessons are about sacrificing on country, family before itself, and society before life, making life a priority. Tanhaji Malusare is one such warrior of Maratha history. There are chapters of history on Tanhaji. His thirteenth generation has done extensive research on him. He is revered in the folklore of Maharashtra and there are many popular legends about him.
Ajay Devgan’s film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior strikes a balance between these legends and the research of the Malusare family. This is the avatar of Devgan and Om Raut has also worked hard to make this avatar Tanhaji. The film’s strongest aspect is its technical excellence. A foreign cinematographer and all the indigenous people together have created a world on screen that, while seen in 3D, may not be able to beat all the big Hollywood movies but they are not bad.
The story of Tanhaji the Unsung Warrior is a story of a Subedar of the court of Chhatrapati Shivaji. This story is also the story of Aurangzeb’s feet not falling in the south of India. This is also the story of the miscreants who were ready to work with the Mughals. One such dilemma is Jai Singh, Shivaji’s dream is to liberate the Kondhana Fort from his possession. For that Shivaji who have already left 23 forts in Marathwada for peace. Tanhaji wants Kondhana Fort back.
The film Tanhaji the Unsung Warrior does not try to teach history here. At the beginning of the film, the producer and director also tells the same. This film is the heroic story of Tanhaji and Ajay Devgan intention clear as soon as he comes on the screen. When Veer Marathas float in the air from the middle of the Sandhan Valley, memory of Hollywood’s 300 comes to mind. When the battle drums are played with shields and swords ahead, Tanhaji also seems to be pushing to reach the level of 300, and the pleasant thing is that the film does not look bad. And, this skill Ajay Devgan’s team has acquired in such a low budget that for this, the entire team should be applaud.
Ajay Devgan says a lot with his eyes in terms of acting. Started with Phool aur Kante Ajay Devgan’s journey has come to Tanhaji and has seen 99 stops. In his hundredth film, Ajay Devgan has matured as an actor as well as a producer. Taking the initiative to tell an unheard story to the whole world is a challenge like winning the Kondhana Fort and Ajay has stood the test.
His nine-year-old duo with Kajol may not look as impressive, but Kajol’s performance suggests that she should do films like Mission Mangal, Sand Ke Aankh or Chhapak. She leaves her charisma whenever she comes on screen. Saif Ali Khan’s recent films have been like a sadness for him, but in Tanhaji The Unsung Warrior, he has written a new script by cleaning the entire slate. Like Padmavat’s Khilji, he too looks like a ferocious villain here and looks quite effective.
The song music of the film may not help Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior much in the Hindi belt, but must watch this film for Ajay Devgan’s courage, hard work and hard work. In the movie review, the film Tanhaji the Unsung Warrior gets three and a half stars.
