Review- Sonchiriya

This Hindi film is avoidable, in my view, as it does nothing that has not been tried before. The only thing I found new was the locations- the ravines of Madhya Pradesh (if it was in fact shot there). The rest has been tried multiple times, to better effect.

Given a stellar star cast -no, not the big Box Office guys, but good actors like Manoj Bajpai, Ashutosh Rana, Ranvir Shorey- I expected a much better script. This drags in many places, and the pre-interval portion is soporific. It comes alive in the second half, with some good dialogues, and a story that has a surprise ending. But it's too little, too late.

If you want a better film about rebels (baaghis), Paan Singh Tomar is far better. If you want a daaku fantasy, try Mera Gaon Mera Desh, or re-watch Sholay.
