The Tashkent Files |
Artist: Shweta Basu Prasad, Mithun Chakraborty, Pankaj Tripathi,
Naseeruddin Shah
The film directed by Vivek Agnihotri tries to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of the former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. But it seems that the film itself speaks a different story. Lal Bahadur Shastri passed away on January 11, 1966, a few hours after signing the peace agreement in Tashkent. Why were the marks in the film on the body of Shastri, why was not the postmortem? As the question raises. Let's know how the Tashkent files are made ...
The film story begins with a journalist Ragini Phule (Shweta Basu Prasad), whose boss has given a 15-day ultimatum. Ragini is awaiting sensational news. Meanwhile, Ragini gets Tashkent files hand. And Ragini publishes a news related to the mysterious death of India's second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
After this news, the government has to open the case of the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri and then there are many fluctuations in the film. What kind of turnes come in the film? How does Ragini tries to uncover the truth? Whether Lal Bahadur Shastri's Death Mystery is solved or not, for all these questions, the film has to be seen.
There is no need to say that Shastri's death has been seen as a conspiracy in the film, but the fact that the film has been presented in it, is seen as one-sided to Climax.
In the film, Shweta Basu Prasad seems to be acting over acting several times because of her character. In some scenes of the movie, they also appear in the Hyper. Many actors, including Naseeruddin Shah, Pallavi Joshi, Mandir Bedi and Pankaj Tripathi, do not look strong in the film. Actors do not appear to judge with their character. However, Mithun Chakraborty's acting can say okay.
The film's cinematography is great. Background music of the film is also not good. The movie looks stuck. In between, the movie becomes cumbersome. Which is not quite impressive. Despite being a very strong subject, Vivek Agnihitri could not show up in the film. A good film could be made on this subject.
