Nawazuddin is really one of the best actors we have ever seen. No other actor could have done justice to the role of Bala Saheb, in the way he has done it. Instead of the common trend of mimicking and copying, he has understood the soul of the character and has given what a performance!! If you will watch the movie, you will understand, why I am so stunned with his act.
"Thackeray" movie is an excellent work. It is unapologetic, authentic and honest. Instead of being an image cleaning exercise, it has presented the man in the way he lived his life and because of which he was loved.
Being this honest is a rare occurrence in Indian Cinema, so the makers deserve applause. The movie doesn't t fool you, doesn't disappoint you, but will keep you gripped through the entire narrative.
The first half of the movie is shot in black and white which adds authenticity to the story.
Special mention for the casting. Since it is a political movie, there has to be a mention for all the major leaders and personalities of that political phase and the actors playing Morarji Desai, Indira Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Pramod Mahajan, Dada Kondke, Javed Miandad, Dilip Vengasarkar , Manohar Joshi, Rajni Patel and many others have done a really commendable job.
Amrita Rao in the role of Meena Tai Thackeray is very decent in her performance, though there should be more length in that role.
The editing is also praiseworthy, the sequences are presented in a very interesting manner and the pace never slows down.
A movie to be definitely watched!
