Tejas

Written and Directed by Debutant Sarvesh Mewara,  but coming from the producers of 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', well known Ronnie Screwvala, 'Tejas' with a run time of 116 minutes has so much in it including Kangana; may be therefore  it not only failed to ignite interest but is made a laughing stock by some now? May be an overload of activity by a female individual who speak too much? Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and there indeed was so much to reflect on. 

Or is it the divided mindset of today that is stopping people from watching this as the lead character is Kangana? Two women, single handedly doing so much? Was that the issue? Though I was not in Mumbai on 28th Nov 2008, that evening is still fresh in my mind like 6th December 1991. Am sure the impact would be deeper on those who were truly effected. One group's terrorist is another group's freedom fighter, depending on which side we are, the perspective change. People giving life for their country are considered soldiers by their country residents/supporters and terrorists by others. When the war effect civilians the impact is altogether different.  May be those are the people who have given high rating for this movie? 

I have watched Jawan and Patan for entertainment, could not digest and sit through Jailer and slept off in the theater, but found this better than the  three. 

Tejas revolves around the extraordinary journey of Tejas the aircraft and the person, from the Indian Air Force, who is the all-in-one hero of Tejas who conflates women empowerment with nationalism, politics with patriotism, revenge with justice, and of course Pakistan with global terrorism. Two Indian women, a Sikh and a Muslim is involved in to so much of action/projects. Soo much of diversity.  A little too difficult to digest, may be,  for the audience?
