Reviewer: George Sylex

What's About - Showcased as an Indian tribute to the Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, the most youthful Nobel Peace Prize winner, Gul Makai by Amjad Khan neglects to dazzle with unsatisfying execution and underneath normal exhibitions.

Story - Gul Makai begins in the year 2012 when Malala Yousafzai shots down with numerous slugs in her school transport in Mingora, Pakistan. We're reclaimed to 2007 when Malala was simply during the time spent turning out to be what she is today. In the midst of the tumult and dread made by the radicals' group Taliban, Malala grows up with a feeling of dread in her psyche. She experiences different bad dreams in which she sees only losing her nearby ones to the Taliban. With the assistance of her father Ziauddin Yousafzai (Atul Kulkarni), she begins composing a segment on BBC under the name of Gul Makai. She welcomes many peruses and chooses to talk freely about the issues occurring in Mingora. The story appears generally excellent, however, the execution is damn exhausting.

Analysis - Amjad Khan looked into and written by Bhaswati Chakrabarty, the full-length biopic film is lamentably just a scrappy biography of this standard young woman with an unstoppable soul who practically without any help turned into a conspicuous lobbyist for the privilege to training. A Nobel Prize winner, other than being granted a few other global distinctions, the momentous Malala gets diminished to being an awful, however solid focal character, whose mental fortitude, every step of the way, gets undermined by a plot that springs zero amazement, yet additionally lessens the dread to negligible life exercises for her.

Star Performances - Reem Shaikh doesn't fit well for the lead role of Malala Yousafzai. I was feeling like a mimicry from her. She has more than acting and neglects to convey the feelings well. Atul Kulkarni is there just to portray his dialogues and remains beautiful uni-dimensional with the way to deal with his character. His character sketches gravely, as the creators didn't use his overwhelming potential as an extraordinary performer. Divya Dutta gets next to no screen-space, and she's simply the standard her in the film. She's normal as she generally is yet getting an exceptionally constrained degree to leave an imprint. Mukesh Rishi is there in the film, however, why?

Direction, Music - Director H.E.Amjad Khan has focused chiefly on discouraging components like indicating the language of the weapons which the militants talk, and this has been found in a lot of movies. There is nothing positive in the film. With an inauspicious, dim tone setting, the day off-white light turning dull during emotional assaults, Khan creates the movie more than a past filled with what happened in Swat Valley and less of Malala's story. There are songs in the film, and I don't recollect a solitary line from them from now on. BGM doesn't interface with the film.

Overall - Watch Malala's original documentary and forget this film. The movie is so hauling and dull that it's a wasted opportunity.
