Atal Bihari spent his childhood in Gwalior not in bateshwar. Their grandparents moved to Morena from Bateshwar long before Vajpayee's birth.

He first joined Arya Samaj, Gorkhi, Gwalior and later RSS in Gwalior itself, which makers deliberately skipped.

This biopic does not show how Mr. Vajpayee got funds to establish bjp.

This biopic seems to alter the facts to please certain people and class.

Mr. Vajpayee family still lives in Gwalior and his nephew Mr. Anup Mishra is a MLA from Morena.

Biopic does not show how many times he was elected as an MP.

This biopic is factually incorrect and misleading.

One more film is released in India marketed as a biography.

But, In India true biopics like Oppenheimer are not made because Indians are too emotional to digest the reality of the idols they like(or worship).

Atal is one of the idol who is worshipped by many as a person who had no shortcoming while he had many. And the makers of the movie could not take the risk of showing those important shortcomings because of the current political landscape of India.

That is why I call it more of a hagiography than the actual biopic. Movie is slow. Cinematography is good. Pankaj Tripathi again aces the character. A one time watch for Atal followers.

This movie deserves all the attention and respect coming it's way. Stellar acting by Pankaj Tripathi, great screenplay moulded from the life of our former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee makes for an excellent cinematic experience. This movie emphatically displays the importance of perseverance, knowledge, courage and calmness of a great man in poetic (pun intended) fashion.

This movie showcases important events of our country through the lens of important men and women responsible in building this great nation and Atal ji's immense contribution to it. It's important to celebrate great leaders of our country to motivate the people of our country into action. And this movie executes that to perfection.
