The Director should have made a documentary if the objective was to explore the politics behind de-neutralized bombs. There is nothing worth of a drama here. Even the songs the workers enjoy late night after dinner have communist message bashing Government and capitalism. I have no idea, where communist world have provided jobs in the real world other than setting up Trade Unions for Vote banks. And, there was a single dimensional character of a social activist / journalist whom the whole bureaucrats are after (even 1980s audience would snooze off at this). All characters are either outright evil (or) outright noble which makes the plot highly predictable and unable to relate to reality. The only thing the film got it right is the last scene showing another bomb offshoring the sea implying nothing has changed. Exactly, that is what will happen in a Communist world. Nothing changes. Watch it only if you like preachy propaganda movies!!
