Mangal Pandey
2 July 2006, late evening
The Art Gallery of Ontario did a little Amir Khan festival of sorts last week. They showed four of his films. Carvill, Mezan and I went to see Mangal Pandey, a fictionalised account of the Sepoy Mutiny. The movie is a bit like an Indian Braveheart. The film was quite good. Amir Khan’s film are usually a step up from your typical Bollywood flick, so I was expecting a good movie. One thing of particular note was the racy little girl on girl dance number in the later half of the film. That came out of nowhere. Meow.
