“Ae Watan Mere Watan,” starring Sara Ali Khan directed by Kannan Iyer and produced by Karan Johar, is now available on Amazon Prime Video starting today, March 21. The trailer has certainly impressed many as the internet’s reaction is majorly positive, appreciating the scale and many other things from the same. Here are a few reasons one should attend the film on OTT.
Ae Watan Mere Watan Plot
The film enters India’s fight for independence in 1942, revolving around the courageous Usha Mehta, who established an underground radio station during the Quit India movement to propagate unity, leading to a gripping cat-and-mouse game with British authorities. The movie stars Sara Ali Khan as Usha, and the trailer has given us a sneak peek into the intense story of the woman who dared to dream big.
Ae Watan Mere Watan Cast
Furthermore, joining Sara Ali Khan in this cinematic odyssey is an ensemble of talented actors. Emraan Hashmi and Anand Tiwari, Sachin Khedekar, Abhay Verma, and Sparsh Shrivastav will be included in a unique appearance. In addition, Alexx O’Nell, Sachin Khedekar, Godaan Kumar, and Benedict Garrett round off the ensemble.
Perfect Background Music
The BGM depicts Sara Ali Khan’s emotions as she fights for the nation in the film. Credits are mentioned for the BGM in any promotional material. Utkarsh Umesh Dhotekar is credited for the score and was also associated with Brahmastra, Dangal, and Chhichhore. This means the music is in good hands.
Interesting Approach
Kannan Iyer helmed “Ae Watan Mere Watan” and co-wrote it with Darab Farooqui. The apparent equilibrium between melodrama and storytelling caught my eye in the trailer. The film could appeal to a broader audience if this balance persists. Given its OTT release, I anticipate something beyond the usual fare.
Finally, why is it a one-time watch?
The main character who portrays as Usha Mehta, a courageous young girl, leads the way in changing India’s battle for freedom, but Sara Ali Khan gets backlash for ruining such a wonderful story with her acting capabilities. Do let us know how you found the film.
