Main Atal Hoon narrates the prominent happenings in the life of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Starting from a modest worker to rising to be the Prime Minister of India. The pains and difficulties he faced during his illustrious political career are covered in detail. The achievements during his tenure as PM, like Pokharan Nuclear Test, Kargil War, starting a bus from New Delhi to Lahore are projected in an interesting manner. His efforts of extending a friendship hand to Pakistan and taking tough decisions like war when the neighbouring country waged a war on India are presented nicely.

The incidents are shown without backstories hence people not aware of Indian politics will find it difficult to relate. The movie is loaded with too many incidents which hampers the pace of the film. Though the camerawork of Lawrence Alex Dcunha is excellent offering visual treats. The soundtrack by Salim-Sulaiman, Kailash Kher, Payal Dev and Amritraj is okay but Monty Sharma’s background score is effective. Ravi Jadhav has presented the exact essence of the noted personality and has extracted nuanced performances from his actors. Pankaj Tripathi as Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee excels as he present the main character with perfect mannerism without mimicking. He looks the character especially during long shots. Ekta Kaul as Vajpayee’s ‘friend’ delivers convincing performance. Piyush Mishra (Atal’s father), Raja Rameshkumar Sevak (L K Advani), Gauri Sukthankar (Sushama Swaraj) ably support.

Atharva, essaying Young Bhimrao’s character, shares, “Dr Ambedkar was a leader, scholar, and thinker. He was a great propagator of education and strongly believed in education for all and could enable people to overcome obstacles and bring social change. Babasaheb made numerous contributions to the advancement of education. His quest for knowledge has always inspired me, and I believe knowledge is one of the most important tools for anyone’s personal development. Dr Ambedkar was a prolific student who did not let anything or anyone come in the way of educating himself well. As an outstanding legal and constitutional expert, Dr Ambedkar was entrusted with drafting India’s constitution. Let us take a moment to remember and honour his enormous contribution to our society and country on his 66th death anniversary.”

Jagannath Nivangune essaying Ramji Sakpal’s character, shares, “Dr B.R. Ambedkar was the First Law Minister of India and Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution because of his vast knowledge of the law. He always believed that knowledge was free and limitless. His teachings and philosophy continue to resonate across the country even today. Also, Babasaheb always believed that there are no shortcuts to success; hard work, dedication, and determination are core elements to achieving it. His teachings have greatly inspired me and motivated me to work harder and stay focused on my goals.”

Narayani Mahesh Varne essaying Ramabai’s character, says, “Babasaheb made significant contributions to women’s empowerment and introduced gender equality in all areas, including education, employment, and social and economic rights. He firmly believed that society could only progress by empowering women. He also authored several books and led movements to secure human rights. During the freedom struggle, he launched a campaign against women’s oppression. He advocated maternity benefits over 100 years ago, much before Independence. He was the first person in India to talk about maternity leave and the first to raise his voice for ‘equal pay for equal work’ for all. His was and continues to be an inspiration to many.”

Lata didi, the eldest of brothers and sisters, will continue to inspire her family and the generations to come with her blessings by becoming a beautiful picture on the walls of the same hall today. Actor Vikram Gokhale inaugurated the photo of Lata didi. With whom Mangeshkar’s relationship is 70 years old. Vikram Gokhale became very emotional on this occasion, he said that “My father and Dinanath Mangeshkar family are related for centuries. We used to call Lata didi as Dinaaba. Who told about the friendship of her father and Dinanath Mangeshkar and Lata didi. His relationship with him was very close, mentioning this, he became very emotional”.

Asha Bhosle became very emotional on this occasion. Lata didi’s sudden demise is not less than a big pain for her and her eyes also became moist while talking to the media. Asha Bhosle said “Whenever I used to go wherever I used to take blessings from Didi, she used to tell me not to touch my feet always, my blessings are always with you whether you come here or not. Mai, Baba and I are always close to you.” Now it happens that after his departure, whose blessings should I take, whom should I tell my troubles. When we were very young, then Baba left, after Mai’s departure, Lata didi took care of us all as a father, and today after her departure. After that we all became orphans. Didn’t think that all this would happen so soon, now she could live for more years.

Hridaynath Mangeshkar also said that ” Didi’s passing is very sad for all of us. Today Didi’s picture was unveiled in Dinanath Auditorium and there are 4 theaters of Dinanath Mangeshkar in Pune, there also Didi’s picture will be installed. Today her photo was installed. It hurts a lot to see, but what to do? And he also assured that Didi’s memorial would be made at different places.
