It is said that Faith can move mountain. The saying has literally been brought to life by Dasrath Manjhi(the man from Gehlore, Bihar). He is the legend who carves road out of mountain. His tools were not heavy machinery but consists only of primitive tools (a chisel and a hammer). It takes him 22 full years to realise his dream of connecting his backward, underdeveloped village to a nearby city named Wazirpur. Indeed he is the personification of grit, determination, perseverance and ambition. What made him takes up such an impossible task? It is the death of his dear wife that have given him the required strength to do such a herculean assignment. Did he get any help from the government or the people? No, he was jeered at and he was also imprisoned for destroying the mountain. In spite of the above impediment he continues to cut the path in the mountain. When he dies he dies a Hero. In his honour, the Government of Bihar has given him a state funeral.
The story is not a typical box-office one as there is neither drama nor comedy. However, the Director Ketan Parikh has turn this dry and drudging tale into a enjoyable one. This is does with by developing the tale elegantly from the way Dasrath Manjhi (Nawajuddin Siddique) and Fagunia (Radhika Apte) met, the way they fell in love with each other and the way Dasrath eloped Fagunia. It made the movie alluring. The opening scene of the movie was very dramatic with the protagonist's back facing the camera in a blood soaked ragged cloth looking up the mountain and a ray of sunlight peeping through the cloud. It prognosticated what is to be followed.
About the casting Nawajuddin Siddique came into limelight with the movies like Gang of Wasseypur and Badlapur. Though the part were not as brilliant as the above mentioned film he has to undergo many trouble for this movie like rolled up in mud, drink muddy water from dirty puddle eat green leave (no I am not talking of Man vs Wild). He did justice to his part. Radhika Apte came to Bollywood with a sex comedy Hunterr (don't watch this movie). He put on the sex quotient with the scanty cloth. Further, he got the look of a common woman yet she is some kind of sexiness in her.
The technical crew has done their homework very well except the Computer Graphic team. Produced under the banner of Viacomm 18 and supported by NFDC. Kudos to them for popularising unsung hero of India.
I would suggest you to watch and takes inspiration from a great son of India.
