Sonika Parashar In Indian National Anthem

     New comer Sonika Parashar is another girl from up-town who is all out to make a name for herself in this tinsel town. She hails from Shimla like her veteran predecessors Preity Zinta and Kangana Ranaut. Hailing from a middle-class family, Sonika from her very tender age wanted to be an actress. To begin with, she participated in all her school and college plays and other cultural activities. She even took part in college youth festivals. Modelling was her first step towards the glittering and glamour world. She had her parent’s blessings and support and thus landed in Mumbai to try her luck. She began with documentaries and  short films which were aired on Life Ok and Sahara One. She also featured in a T.V. serial titled Saraswatichandra aired on Star Plus. 

 

Now she is ready to prove herself on the big screen with her acting histrionics. She is thankful to Mr. Amit Shah and fashion designer Atique Ajmeri (son of well known writer and lyricist Asad Ajmeri) for casting her in their music video based on the Indian National Anthem. 

  

  This video is unique as it features more than 70 celebrities from all walks of life from across the nation. She feels it a priviledge to rub shoulders with personalities like Shilpa Shetty,   Mallika Sherawat, Vivek Oberoi, Tusshar Kapoor and other Bollywood stalwarts. Amit Shah and Atique Ajmeri has also signed her to play the lead in their upcoming film titled Telegram.

    Sonika Parashar is one of those new talents to bring all kinds of characters alive on the celluloid world.

THE STORY

Guru Gobind Singh and his four sons Ajith Singh, Jujhar Singh, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh fought valiantly against the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s royal aide, Wazir Khan. Wazir Khan was a tyrant ruler, who was unjust with people. Guru Gobind Singh protested against his injustice. In turn, Wazir Khan attacked the Sikh community in an unrighteous way. To ensure their survival, Guru Gobind Singh’s four brave sons sacrificed their lives.

CRITICAL AND TRADE ANYALYSIS

Harry Baweja has beautifully encapsulated sensitive events of Sikh history in this 3D animated film. The subject is strong and makes the film gripping throughout. Dialogues are impactful. Ace actor Om Puri’s voiceover as the narrator makes it better. Being a stereoscopic film with animation and 3D effects, the execution was good according to Indian standards. Action is good. Cinematography is decent. Editing is crisp. Production and technical values are average. The film was moderately publicized.

VERDICT

At the box office, the film opened with a below average response and may run with word of mouth publicity especially in the north.
