Whatever the historical exaggerations, this remains a hugely romantic film with wonderful music.I only have one wo this movie: lushThis is a movie where you just need to switch off the critical side of the brain.
Must watch movie who loves the freedom fighters movie. Do not consider first half as in freedom fighter, have patience and do wait for the second half.
1942: A Love Story, stays unfaithful to its name. Its neither a love story, nor does it contain the factual underpinnings surrounding the events of 1942.
VVC made several great films like PARINDA(1989) In 1942 Love Story he reunites with Jackie, Anil, Anupam Kher and brings yet another good film The film is completely a fiction and holds no true story of real independence struggle(as far as my knowledge) People looking out for historical accuracy should not watch the film The film was in news as it was the last film music maestro RD Burman composed music for. The film was released after his death.
Just like the title suggests, the film has two sides, 1942, a historic period and a love story. 1942, represents the time period when the Indians revolutionized against the British rulers for the freedom of the country, popularly know as "Quit India" movement.
"1942 A Love story" is a portray of a beautiful love story with the backdrop of the Indian struggle for freedom.The plot is still the same of a love story but unlike other Bollywood movies the villains are not the parents but the political turmoil of 1942.
Blending musical poetry with epic spectacle, "1942: A Love Story" stands as a definitive work of Indian filmmaking. As the film follows a pair of lovers through the Indian uprising against imperialist Britain, traditional Indian song is used to juxtapose the harsh realities of an oppressed people.
