How was Madras Cafe? Well it was riveting, fast paced, exciting, turbulent, keeps the viewer at the edge of his seat till the very end. The final moments of the assassination are well executed too. Excellent Cinematography lend an air of thrill and uniqueness to the film. The characters are very convincing. The movie paces well and ensures there is never a boring moment. Great to see a movie with no silly item songs or cheap Ranbir Kapoor nakedness on screen. Just the raw power of John Abraham at the helm of it all.
My realization in the last 5 minutes: The film is undoubtedly excellent and well executed. A first of it's type for Indian cinema. But the final 5 minutes clearly indicate that this film is very possibly part of Congress (read as "UPA") propaganda keeping in mind the upcoming elections. The aim is very clearly to push public sentiments towards the fact that Rajiv Gandhi loved the people of India and gave his life for the country and it's only the Congress in power that can take the country in the right direction, foreseen by Rajiv Gandhi during his life time. It's not loud, the message is given very subtly towards the end, through the scenes and dialogues. Very cleverly done as the elections are coming soon .. a tactic similar to what the Obama regimen did by getting something like "Zero Dark Thirty" subtly released to garner support before the elections. Definitely a political agenda behind the movie, nevertheless excellently done if you look at it from the artistic angle (and steer clear of its historical accuracy)!
