6. Mangal Pandey: The Rising
A period drama set in the back drops of the Sepoy Riots or as we call it The First War of Indian Independence. The story and screenplay by Farrukh Dhondy was artistically directed by the internationally well known Indian director Ketan Mehta. The story follows the friendship of an Indian Speoy, Mangal Panday (Aamir Khan) and a British Commanding Officer, William Gordon (Toby Stephens), and how the political situation is affecting their lives. The chemistry between the leads is magnificent and the supporting characters all did justice to their roles. Of course the movie had its share of historical inaccuracies and similarity to Hollywood flicks, but it was a good enough movie to demand a greater success at the box office.
