Just 2 National Award, its deserved more. Forgotten by everyone that the 54 POW's have spent over three decades in Pakistanijails against the rule. This films leaves its footprints on your mind forever. 1971 deserves more audience than it has. 1971 is the war story depicting the struggle of Indian prisoners of war in Pakistan. It shows how the Pakistani government treated Indian prisoners of war, past the Bangladesh Independence war. The bottom line is break and escape from the prison. ‘The movie has resemblances with recently made film DEEWAR (starring Amitabh, Sajay Dutt etc). However this film is far more realistic than Deewar. Full points to the director| ‘Amrit Sagar. The portrayal of characters and the screenplay is exceedingly well. | recommend this film to every viewer. | barely know any actor in the movie other than Manoj Bajpai. Manoj Bajpai delivers the finest male performance of the year (and one of his best). It's great to see him after a long time with a film that does full justice to the actor. The rest of the cast including Deepak Dobriyal (another fine work after ‘Omkara’), Chittaranjan Giri, Ravi Kishan, Kumud Mishra, and Manav Kaul were equally excellent in their roles. The film doesn't have many songs but the few were used effectively (in the background mostly). Screenplay is one of the best and is simply beautiful. It has its few light moments and dark moments but as | have mentioned above, nothing over the top. Cinematography is well done. Editing Is allows the film to be complete as every moment in the film sticks to the main plot. Amrit Sagar is a director to watch! The debutante has the courage to swim against the trend. Instead of taking the easy way aut by making a masala film and padding it with stars, Amrit needs a pat for opting for an unconventional theme and casting actors, not stars. Besides, the director knows the grammar of film-making right. Not only is the content powerful [screenplay: Piyush Mishra], the film stands out in the technical departments as well. Amrit gets major help from three other departments — background music [Akash Sagar], cinematography (Chirantan Das] and thrills [Sham Kaushal]. Akash Sagar's background score is exceptional and gives the film an international tinge. Chirantan Das’ camerawork is outstanding. Although a number of films have been shot at the picturesque Kullu-Manali, the film bears a stunning look. The hilly terrains and the snow-capped mountains have a sweeping effect. Manoj Bajpai and Ravi Kissen may be the most known entities in its cast, but the film doesnt belong to Manoj or Ravi alone. It belongs to all six protagonists. Mangj is in form after a long, long time. Sure, he is a fine actor, but the level of performance is very high this time. But the actor to watch out for is Kumud Mishra. There's just one word 10 describe his performance ~ Magnificent! Watch him in every sequence, with Manoj or with the other protagonists, and you'd agree that the actor can light fire in water! Deepak Dobriyal, who proved his mettle in OMKARA, delivers yet another gem of a performance in this film. He is terrific. Manav Kaul is another talent that's bound to go places.Extremely energetic and confident, the actor leaves a tremendous impact, especially in the pre-climax when he takes on the Pakistanis. Ravi Kissen is perfect. After TERE NAAM, this is another performance that works because it is natural to the core “1
