Firstly, I specifically took my time and made an account on IMDb to review this. So you can understand this is 'that' bad. People rating it 10 or 9s are definitely on meth or are from Balaji's PR team. The beginning was very poor, with nothing feeling even a little authentic. Everything looks likes a desperate childish attempt. The real story was great and they could've done this in million different ways but, sadly, this is the worst outcome that anyone can expect. Even RajKumar Rao couldn't help to make this watchable. The only good thing is the title song. Not the performance, not the casting, not the direction, not the set, not the locations, not the props, literally nothing in it was good. It's 3am and I'm feeling sorry for myself to have wasted my time and sleep for this.
I'll try to write in points-
1. No one's performance can be called even average, only Officer Stanley was good. Dialogue delivery, facial expressions are just pathetic.
2. They completely failed to portray Neta Ji's bold personality. All characters are underdeveloped.
3. They talk about Neta ji's army, how he got so many people standing with him. But you never see him addressing a mob, only group of 5- 6 guys which look like thugs.
4. Netaji went to Burma, Afghanistan, Russia, Japan, Germany in it, but it seems they have shooted the whole series in a single set.
5. The appearance and make-up is just like the daily soaps where they even sleep wearing heavy jewelries and those heavy sarees. Neta Ji's hair looks like someone put a razor on his head while he was sleeping. He never looks like an old man but clearly a young 20s guy wearing body suits to show the extra weight. People were dying of hunger and poverty and all the atrocities of British govt. but they all had time to clean wash their clothes and then well iron them. In the complete 9 episode series I didn't saw a single person who really appears to be poor. Hell Gandhi Ji took some time to clean shave his hairs on legs, so that don't look messy.
There are a lot of other bad things to say, and not a single positive. So I'm just gonna advise you to not waste your time on it. You are bored, go watch YouTube trending, even that would be much much better than this.
