GANGA...the last word of this movie summarises some sense of the platform where all this story happened and relieved to hear that having myself suffer on first half where characters and story showcases mediocre cinema from a reputed film maker except for the promising intro action sequence of crocodile hunt. The climax was one of the awesome pieces of India cinema in line with Bahubali and other popular epics. The idea of boats tied up and saving the villagers with help of cow from floods was fulfilling part. The heroic fights and romance(not all-nevertheless white goat seen by HR the sign of fortune calling is dreamy and touchy)from HR is the downside. ARR music elevates the story. The heroine is beautiful and justifies her part. Kabir Bedi looks and voice gives some dimension to the character and relieves us from repeated style of characters in Indian cinema. The last scene where the city lost in floods showing the monumentals is a classic and touching one. Something was missing to the give 2016 BC feel which is also minus for the film. Story is a big let down especially characters considering a promising premise. Only the climax reveals the directors glimpses of old form. HR casting is sort of miscast but still he does a decent job. On a whole the movie is average but special appreciation for the climax(AGs famous formula which are village based) and also the epic sets and visual effects.
