Being honest, as the movie "The Accidental Prime Minister" is a big disappointment.
For me, it does not look like a movie but a depiction of events one by one which is totally disjoint and is not gripping even for a person who has a huge interest in politics.
Yes, it does not demean the image of Dr. Singh. It presents him as a genius with vision, honesty, patriotism and a great sense of humor and Anupam Kher in the role of his life has done an outstanding job.
Akshay Khanna as Sanjay Baru is also very effective and the jugalbandi between these two is not only watchable but also has an emotional touch.
Suzanne Bernett playing Sonia Gandhi is good but other than these few, the rest of the casting looks very much like caricatures and gives the impression that the film is hurriedly and not seriously made.
Also, the movie jumps to events and mix up too much between real leaders and actors which was neither required nor effective.
Still, for Anupam Kher and Akshay Khanna, this movie can be watched. These 2 actors have given their best and deserve a lot of appreciations.
To what extent this movie is politically correct, I don't know and I also don't want to go into it but as a movie, it did not impress me at all!!
