Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (1991)
A true masterpiece!
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar is a movie based on the life of the great Indian jurist, economist, and social reformer Dr. BR Ambedkar. He was Independent India's first Minister of Law and Justice and the Chairman of the Drafting Committee. He devoted the entirety of his life to the upliftment of the oppressed classes in India. Being born in an "untouchable" caste, he himself faced immense discrimination and persecution from the people of high castes, in all aspects of his life - right from his childhood to his years of education and even while he was working with the Baroda State Government. Dr. BR Ambedkar's vision and struggle for a progressive India, free of caste-based marginalization, was depicted beautifully in the film. The director and all the members of the cast have done a stupendous job. Mammootty, who played the character of Dr. BR Ambedkar, portrayed the character marvelously with excellent dialogue delivery and top-notch acting. He lived the role. The supporting cast, including Sonali Kulkarni as Ramabai Ambedkar, first wife of Ambedkar, Mohan Gokhale as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, have also given stellar performances, and brought more depth to the story and Dr. Babasaheb's character. The screenplay was very riveting, and dialogues were impeccably sophisticated. Scenes from the initial parts of the movie were extremely heart-wrenching. The inhumane treatment imposed on Dr. Babasaheb was deplorable and gruesome. The movie progressed to be more and more exhilarating - with Dr. Babasaheb's awe-inspiring campaigns and speeches, particularly the one at the round table conference in London. The scenes with Gandhi Ji were also very insightful. On the whole, the movie was very enlightening and inspiring, and is a must watch for every Indian!

A heart-warming tale that turns heart-wrenching
This film is all the rage right now and i was super jazzed to watch it. It's by far the best of the OTT releases in this pandemic. If you're planning to watch it, brace yourself for an emotional roller coaster ride. You'll fall in love with the lead characters and their story (And most definitely end up crying real bad, so keep a box of tissues handy). Stellar performances by Suhas, Chandini Chowdary, Harsha Chemudu and Sunil, beautiful direction, captivating story and dialogues, melodious music...i could go on and on but I don't think you'd need more reasons to watch it. It took me quite some time to get back to normalcy after watching the film yet i still feel like I haven't completely recovered from that jarring climax. This movie is more than just a tragic love-story; it sheds light on the issue of colorism (A very apt title, i must say). It's a wake up call. It's high time we put an end to bias of any type - be it color, race, caste, religion or ANYTHING. Given the mounting issues of such sorts in this day and age, movies like this are highly needed. They're thought-provoking and also pave the way for a progressive future.
