“Flag” Movie Review
The boy, who loses his parents in an accident, is lovingly brought up by his grandfather. When his grandfather suddenly falls ill, he expresses his heartfelt wish to see the national flag hoisted by the President in Delhi. Determined to fulfil his grandfather’s dream, the young boy sets out on an adventurous journey to Delhi all alone. Will he reach his destination? What unexpected experiences await him along the way? The film unfolds as an exciting and heartwarming travel adventure.
Right from the beginning, the film surprises us by taking us beyond a village setting and offering a spectacular journey across India. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, the team beautifully captures the country’s geographical diversity, cultural richness and magnificent landscapes. The patriotic spirit blends naturally with the storyline, making the journey both entertaining and meaningful.
Set in Pengeree village in Hubballi, Karnataka, the film takes us through several states, including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The breathtaking locations and picturesque visuals add tremendous value to the narrative.
When Dehaan begins his journey to Delhi with just a shoulder bag, he encounters a mysterious gang. Initially, we may expect a familiar kidnapping drama, but the screenplay takes several unexpected turns, keeping the audience curious and engaged. The story moves in different directions, offering surprises along the way.
One of the film’s biggest attractions is its presentation of India’s famous tourist destinations. From the magnificent Taj Mahal to the Thiruvalluvar Statue and the Statue of Unity, the film offers a visual treat and celebrates the beauty and heritage of our nation.
Featuring Miki Makki Jha and Abhinav Goswami from Bollywood, Anant from Bhojpuri cinema and Pappusha from Bengali cinema, the film brings together talents from different regions.
Many patriotic films have celebrated the nation, but making the Tricolour itself the central theme is a commendable attempt. Director S. P. Pon Shankar deserves appreciation for this unique concept and execution.
Flock is an inspiring, entertaining and informative film that deserves to be screened in schools. Adults, too, can forget their worries for a while and rediscover their childhood through this delightful journey. A feel-good cinematic celebration of India!
