Producer : Bindiya khanolkar & Sachin khanolkar
 
 
The Plot : If you think that the movie is all about freedom movement you are wrong .
The story is based on real life story of a freedom fighter Gour Hari Das , in the movie played by Vinay Pathak , Gour Hari at a young age of 15 years , had joined gandhiji movement for freedom ,  freedom of India from the british , during that he also went to jail in Orissa , but even after 60 years of independence he did not get recognition and certificate , his son seeking for scholarship to study in U.S.A . HE is denied schorlarship as he is not having any certificate proving that his father is freedom fighter , frustrated he blames his father that whether he really was a  freedom fighter or they are just stories as all people around him also have same opinion , Gour Hari still is adamant that he will certainely one day  he will achieve success, For many years he tries to get recognition certificate from govt offices , from office to office and various people , fortunately one day that file of application and letter come in contact with a journalist of mid day , he wanted to print this story but the editor tells him that first the proof is needed  to say whether he is a freedom fighter or no , from thr journey starts the journalist is played by ranvir shorey , he helps gour hari  to get his certificate of recognition and honour ,  going from chief minister and home minister , and facing hurdles , till that te=hey travel to even Orissa jail to  get records , there also they did not get any records , but somehow in the jailors grandfather who  was a jailor at the time when gour hari was in imprisonment , in his personal  records they succeed in finding a dairy , which had a record , gour hari movement had reached the media and all persons , with all this pressure and on the basis of dairy , Gour Hari Das gets sanctioned honour certificate and pension , after many many years of wait and making of whole freedom file .

The story hits that the indian system needs to be rectified , after 68 years of freedom from British Raj now India needs freedom from Corruption which is at all levels of Indian Govt , It is because of corruption that Gour Hari Das had to struggle for honour certificate , his file never reached top level remaining ar low level only in govt officers hierarchy,

Many of the freedom fighters are still awaiting honour certificates and many lost hope too ,

India has to fight with enemy which is their own people who are corrupted .
 A new movement has to be taken place to eradicate corruption and free india once again which will be a real freedom

Vinay Pathak has played his role to the perfection , ranvir shorey was brilliant as a journalist .

The movie is very well directed , it is a true festival movie ,

Though it is not a commercial movie , but its a much watch for all people who is a true Indian

My Verdict is 3.5*/5*

Jai Hind
