‘The Taj Story’ Review
An excerpt from our review for ‘The Taj Story’ reads, “Paresh Rawal lends sincerity and a touch of humour to Vishnu Das, giving the film its rare moments of spark. His wit and quiet defiance keep the proceedings from turning entirely lifeless. Zakir Hussain as the opposing lawyer Anwar Rashid is suitably commanding, while Namit Das and Amruta Khanvilkar play their parts earnestly, though they’re underused and underwritten. In the end, ‘The Taj Story’ is a middling watch that plays safe within a familiar framework. It raises provocative questions but stops short of exploring them with nuance or restraint. What remains is a film that wants to be bold but ends up being predictable—a tale that begins with curiosity and ends with fatigue. Ultimately, it neither shakes your beliefs nor stirs your emotions, leaving you detached from its intent. With sharper writing and tighter direction, it could have been the thought-provoking film it aspires to be.” Go to Source
