SONGS & MUSIC: The very well known song,

enemies come face-to-face ahead of their

final stand-off on the battle field . The song is

composed by Mehul Vyas while Anil Verma

has penned the lyrics of the song & Ganesh

directed some killer moves for Ajay Devgan.

The most awaited song by the audience

"Ghamand Kar" brings out the true spirits in

the film.

ACTION: The action scenes are especially very & further enhanced if you watch the film in 3D. Sequences depicting the guerrilla tactics employed by the Marathas to scale the fort are excellently executed and the final battle between Tanhaji & Udaybhan is nothing short of spectacular with a deadly cannon aimed in the direction of Chhatrapati’s Raigad Fort , the two men face-off in a bloody fight to finish.

Maratha Empire(Swarajya) while conquering

the "Fort Kondhana"now known as

"Sinhagad". Thereafter,leaving behind a

saying,"Gad ala pan Sinha gela"which

means "The fort is conquered, but the lion is

dead.

SPECIAL FEATURE : In 3D Tanhaji seems like a spectacle something we haven’t seem in Hindi till now. At this point, it’s the best that technology could achieve. The audience is well aquainted with this historical, biographical action film which in turn is Ajay Devgn’s 100th film industry. It was a very enjoyable seeing the real husband-wife playing the same role on-screen.

MY OPINION ABOUT THE FILM-Overall,TANHAJI IS A ROAR. Starts with a Bang ends with a Bang

• will make you cry which in turn makes you feel proud. The film is a brilliant writing, fast paced screenplay, excellent direction, never seen before action sequences. Wonderful climax & especially the performances of the characters especially. I really loved this movie as it’s epic!!!
