Main Atal Hoon Movie Review : The film’s narrative, treatment, and stellar portrayal by Pankaj Tripathi will leave you Charmed

 It succinctly covers Vajpayee’s journey from being a freedom fighter to a revered leader. The narrative summarises all the prominent influences, pivotal events, and important achievements under his leadership. 

Review: "Main Atal Hoon" paints a positive picture of the biopic, particularly praising Pankaj Tripathi's portrayal of the 10th Prime Minister of India, Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The actor is commended for delivering a pitch-perfect performance, capturing not only Vajpayee's mannerisms and speech but also the nuances of his personality.

Creating a biopic about such a prominent figure was really challenging and the writing and direction by Ravi Jadhav and Rishi Virmani, respectively are commended. The film, inspired by Sarang Darshane’s book, "Atalji: Kavihridayache Rashtranetyachi Charitkahani," is noted for succinctly covering Vajpayee’s journey from being a freedom fighter to a revered leader. Key events under his leadership, including the Kargil War, the bus yatra from India to Pakistan, and the Pokhran Nuclear Test, are depicted through archival footage, adding authenticity to the narrative.

A basic understanding of Indian politics might be necessary for appreciating some parts of the movie and having some background knowledge of Indian politics could enhance the viewing experience. Cinematography by Lawrence Alex Dcunha is praised for its contribution to the film's visual appeal. The soundtrack by Salim-Sulaiman, Payal Dev, Kailash Kher, and Amritraj, along with Monty Sharma’s background score, is lauded for adding inspiration to the narrative. The use of Vajpayee’s poetry recitation and lyrics in songs is a positive aspect of the movie.

The film's pace is steady initially but slows intermittently until the interval. It picks up speed again in the second half, focusing on the peak of Vajpayee's days as a politician. The performances of other political figures, including LK Advani, Sushma Swaraj, and Arun Jaitley, are praised for their resemblance to real-life figures. The relationships depicted in the film, such as Vajpayee's connection with his father and his long-time friend Rajkumari Kaul, are considered heartwarming. However, certain aspects, like Vajpayee's relationship with his adopted daughter Namita Bhattacharya, could have been elaborated.

In totto, "Main Atal Hoon," is worth watching as it will leave you enamored and filled with admiration for one of the most significant political figures in India.
