This film states up front that it’s fictitious and that all animals are CGI. Even so, the movie is fantastic fun! It revolves around 2 men who become best friends. Meanwhile, they secretly work to overthrow the colonial imperialists who are still dominating India in the 1920s. What makes the story exciting is the way it’s told: The action scenes easily rival any from Hollywood. There are moments of beautiful visual imagery. Enjoyable songs are peppered throughout, which includes a dizzying dance number (and stay thru the credits for one more.) The 2 leads are close to superheroes in strength, deed and determination, while the British villains are so evil they’re almost twirling their metaphorical mustaches. In typical style of the genre, the emotions are overblown with acting to match, but they’re still effective. Even with a completely predictable story and a 3-hour length, there’s so much to enjoy that it continually entertains in a big way. (In Telugu with subtitles, although much of the film is in English) (5 / 5)
