Raag Desh movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are divided: 2 of 7 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script.
On the whole, Raag Desh is an average film with an untold factual story. The film could have been much better plus in the era of commercial films, Raag Desh is a niche in its own genre.
Read the full reviewThumbs up for bringing in front the lesser-known story from Netaji’s forgotten books, thumbs down for not making it engaging enough. Also, in the end, it does make you feel the air of current political scenario.
Read the full reviewOverall, Raag Desh is not a superlative film, particularly because of its treatment, editing and lack of a novel story.
Read the full reviewI entered the theatre with a lot of expectations from a film about a chapter from the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the man who had immense contributions to Indias freedom movement.
Read the full reviewRaag Desh Movie Review: It gives you numbers and dates and facts and suddenly introduces relatives of the protagonists who have stories of their own. It’s death by information.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
