It is a masterpiece from Dr. Jabber Patel whose passion and patience in bringing such a biopic is commendable. It falls in the genre of Richard Attenborough's Gandhi. I enjoyed it very much. The encounter of titans of Indian freedom struggle, Gandhi and Ambedkar is shown with great craft and intensity. Kudos to Mammooty for his action as Ambedkar. The restraint with inner turmoil shown by Mammooty puts him one among the great actors we have worldwide.

Since it is a biographical film, the clichés of commercial film do not apply. Some of the dialogues may be uncomfortable to audiences. But that is what Dr. Ambedkar is as depicted by director. The nature of issue in the context is very sensitive and obviously it creates controversy which makes the film important.
