Gunjan Saxena – the movie

Confession – I did not watch this movie. Nor do I have any intention to watch it. In fact, I highly recommend you to avoid it even if Netflix consistently pops it on your screen.

This post intends to list down few of the reasons why its abysmally bad movie.

• Portrayal of Airforce : I have an theory that Bollywood deliberately paints the Armed forces in bad light. Between Border (1997) and Uri : The Surgical Strike (2019) we did not have one good movie to lift the spirit up of our soldiers. In fact, a lot of effort went in to show Army in bad light.
• Rendering Biographies : Apart from few exceptions Bollywood has always missed the Masala and Tadka on Biographies. In this case Wing Commander Gunjan Saxena herself slammed the lies peddled by this movie.
• Acting : Janhvi can not act. Period.

Source and Credits

• Research : I repeatedly called out this matter. Looks like this one is curse on Bollywood Industry ! Absolute disregard to ground work and research to get things correct (I have added a video who has authority to talk about it)
• Twisted sense of Feminism : Fundamental premise of this movie is to make men look bad even at the expense of truth !
• Nepo-movie : this project had sole intention to provide Janhvi a Critically Acclaimed piece in the same lines Sonam got Neeraja. Let me remind you that we have collectively decided not to support Undeserving Nepo-kids.

While here, please go through this post by a retired Air force Officer. You will get a full perspective on  many things that are wrong with this movie.
