#GunjanSaxena – BORING

Gunjan Saxena The Kargil Girl – The First Indian Airforce Lady Pilot who chased her dreams and emerged as an epitome of Motivation for others to follow not just the dream but also the Passion to pursue the impossible and aligning with the higher goals of the self, of the country, making India Pride.

Dharma Productions Gunjan Saxena The Bollywood Girl, wonder if it will make even “Bollywood” pride; India is far. This is where the real life manifests on the reel where people roll on the word “Action” but fail to deliver the needed action. The film that doesn’t even does half the justice to be that inspiring. Janhvi Kapoor has a long way to go, to emerge as an actress to perform this gravity. It is not just her acting it is the writing as well that is hollow that never lets this film take off to even close to what Real Gunjans life would have been. Nikhil Mehrotra the writer behind Dangal, Chhichhore and recently Panga wonder what went wrong with his writing on this subject, the writing probably that never reached on celluloid the way it should have been. Director Sharan Sharma comes from the house of Dharma Productions, creative director of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Director of Karan’s own show Koffee with Karan, debuts as a director with Gunjan Saxena The Bollywood Girl and fails to leave an impression.

Perhaps Pankaj Tripathi is the only saviour who continues to deliver at ease unlike Angad Bedi and Vineet Kumar Singh who fail to be in the skin of the character and reflect acting in their performances. The film rides high on Bro-code and reflects how Indian Airforce was not even ready with Women’s Toilet after announcing an academic course, a better research would have highlighted possibly the Air-Force is not made for ladies as they don’t have dedicated toilets also, then why such a creepy dialogue that speaks about BELAN?

The film is not that bad as it may sound but it is utter boring to be glued on home screen knowing the SPINE of the story to be triumphant and doesn’t really triumphs when it lands on Bollywood Platter. It is neither inspiring neither entertaining. Not worth the time, watching Dhruv Rathee’s documentary on Gunjan Saxena would be good for those who are looking for an insight into her life. Coming just prior to the film’s release, that too seems to be a marketing gimmick though, yet will save you from the two hours of boredom.

PK Verdict: Tin**
