Anil Sharma's 'Vanvaas' is 20 years late, read full review of Nana Patekar's film – Read
When the news was received that ‘Gadar’ actor Anil Sharma and Nana Patekar are making the film ‘Vanvas’ together, it was obvious that the expectation was for a blockbuster product. There was also the pair of Utkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur, both of whom had won the hearts of the audience in ‘Gadar 2’. So when the call for screening of the film came, I watched the film immediately and it made me cry. But the crying was not over seeing the story of the film but over my decision to wake up early in the morning and watch the film, spoiling my sleep. I will never be able to forgive myself for seeing Nana Patekar’s ‘Vanvas’ after watching a mediocre film like ‘Natsamrat’. The film is good. But Anil Sharma is 20-25 years late in making it. If Anil Sharma had made this film at that time, it would have done well. But is it too late.
Story
Deepak Tyagi’s (Nana Patekar) wife has passed away. He has dementia. That means their thinking power is gradually decreasing. Now his three children have started finding their father a burden and this is the reason why his three sons go to Banaras with their father. But while coming, he leaves his father there. Will Deepak Tyagi be able to reunite with his family or not? To know this you will have to go to the theater and watch ‘Vanvas’.
Know how this film is
Anil Sharma has his own style. When he makes Sunny Deol do dialogues and directs action scenes for him, his ‘cult’ audience enjoys it a lot. But from these films of hisexile‘It is a completely different film. This story is very good, parents who put their hands on the heads of their children in childhood often start having headaches as the children grow older and then the journey to get rid of them begins. We see many such examples around us in society. This could have been a very good film. But Anil Sharma’s attempt to make his son a hero in this story sinks the film.
directing
‘Vanvas’ director Anil Sharma could have skipped the first shot of the hero’s entry and the loud expressions of the actors. But what to do with the attachment to the son? The technology used in the film may be advanced, but the director’s vision remains the same. There were a lot of expectations from Anil Sharma after ‘Gadar 2’. But his ‘exile’ dashed all these hopes. If nothing else, at least Anil Sharma could have reduced the overacting of Tyagi’s onscreen daughters-in-law. What did Nana Patekar, who has done very few Hindi films, see in this film? This is the biggest question for me.
Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of emotions!

acting
'Vanvas' Nana Patekar Has taken care of on his shoulders. How should we judge his acting? But there is nothing in this film to watch which the audience should spend their money and go to the theatre. Utkarsh Sharma is playing the character of a Banarasi boy. But many of my friends from UP say that he does not look like a Banarasi at all and does not speak the language there at all. On one hand, Utkarsh does not look like ‘Banarasi’ and on the other hand, Shruti Marathe, who plays the role of Nana Patekar’s youngest daughter-in-law, does not look like ‘Tyagi’. Because his accent is not ‘Tyagi’ but ‘Tawde’. The expressions of Bhakti Desai (Deepak Tyagi’s elder daughter-in-law) are not only excessive but also too much. Seeing him, I feel like saying that brother, someone should deduct Rs 50 from him for overacting. All the actors including Simrat Kaur have given justice to their roles.
Where did things go wrong?
The Khichdi that Anil Sharma has prepared with Vanvas could have been made into Biryani. From the style of filming to the action, there is nothing new anywhere. We forget songs too. A powerful film could have been made on this subject. But the amazing performance that Anil Sharma had shown in Gadar is missing from this film. Actually, the hero of this film, Anil Sharma, has drowned his son by trying to make him a hero. If this film had told the character of Nana Patekar and the story around him, then perhaps the people watching it would have enjoyed the film.

to see or not to see
If you want to see Nana Patekar’s best film on such a subject, then watch ‘Natsamrat’, if you want to see Anil Sharma’s cult style, then watch his cult film ‘Gadar’. If you want to see the chemistry of Utkarsh and Simrat, then watch ‘Gadar 2’. But exile can be skipped
