It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle是美国陆军将军诺曼·施瓦茨科普夫（Norman Schwarzkopf）的鼓舞人心的引用。马拉松民间传说有一个这样的故事，讲述了一个名叫塔纳吉·马卢萨雷（Tanaji Malusare）的英勇但被遗忘的战士，他曾担任经常受欢迎的马拉萨统治者chhatrapati shivaji raje的军事助理。Tanaji的参考来自伟大的印度诗人Tulsidas撰写的诗歌。

Bollywood has come out with an epic period action drama based on the life of this legendary warrior. Written and directed by Om Raut,坦哈吉：无名战士明星宝莱坞（Bollywood）的资深演员阿贾伊·德文（Ajay Devgan）在Tanaji Malusare的名义角色中。赛义夫·阿里·汗（Saif Ali Khan）扮演他的拱门竞争对手，也是莫卧儿帝国Udaybhan Singh Rathore中最可怕的夜魔侠战士之一。相信我，如果您碰巧看这部电影，您肯定会在两个历史悠久的巨人之间经历令人心动的冲突。

1665年,Shivaji (Sharad Kelkar)captured by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (Luke Kenny) in the Battle of Purandar. Aurangzeb captured Shivaji as the latter was on a quest to rapidly expand his reign in the Deccan region of India. Along with Shivaji, he had also captured the 23 forts that Shivaji had under his control.

Meanwhile, Shivaji’s mother Jijabai (Padmavati Rao) got insulted by the Mughal general Beshak Khan (Nissar Khan) when he captured and vacated the strategic fortress of the Marathas known as Kondhana (present-day Sinhagad fort). She couldn’t take this insult and vowed to remain barefoot until the Marathas would recapture the fort. Five years later, Aurangzeb assigned the Kondhana fort to his brave and lionhearted general Udaybhan Singh Rathore so that no intruder would ever dare to even set sight on the fort, let alone capture it. Aurangzeb had also planned to use this fort as a base for his imperial expansion in the Deccan region.

This news reached Shivaji through a spy. He planned to recapture the Kondhana fort by any means and foil the intentions of Aurangzeb. Shivaji’s able general Tanaji was not available at that time as he was busy preparing for the upcoming wedding of his son, Rayba (Arush Nand). Hence, Shivaji planned to pursue the fort capturing campaign all by himself. He had warned his generals not to inform Tanaji about this campaign as he didn’t want to involve him in this matter during such an auspicious ceremony. As time passed, the Marathas started preparing for the war. However, this news could not be kept a secret from Tanaji for very long. When he visited Rajgad to invite Shivaji to his son’s wedding, he was somehow informed about this campaign by one traitor in Shivaji’s palace named Chandraji Pisal (Ajinkya Deo). He immediately postponed his son’s wedding and sought permission from Shivaji to allow him to lead the campaign.

The story takes another dimension as Udaybhan reaches Burhanpur. The Marathas came to know about his arrival and coined their attack plan on him. Pisal being a traitor, immediately sent his nephew Chultya (Kailash Waghmare) to inform Udaybhan about the attack plan of the Marathas. Actually, Pisal had planned to foil Tanaji’s mission so that Shivaji could be overthrown and he would then join hands with Udaybhan. As a result, Tanaji’s attack plan got foiled miserably and he got deceived to such an extent that he ended up attacking his own soldiers! The furious Udaybhan reached Kondhana and threatened Shivaji’s safety. He threatened to bombard Rajgad with a huge canon which he kept aimed from the Kondhana fort. This canon was the atom bomb of that era which was powerful enough to destroy the city of Rajgad in a single shot!

背叛和沮丧Tanaji追求Udaybhan, reached Kondhana all alone. However, he had other plans in mind. Upon reaching Kondhana, he started brainwashing the villagers against Udaybhan. The villagers got brainwashed and turned against the barbaric dictator. Taking this advantage, Tanaji managed to capture the traitor Chultya and kill him. This news reached Udaybhan and he roared out like a caged lion! He captured Tanaji and tortured him severely.

You might be surprised to know that in spite of his ferocious nature Udaybhan was a lover as well! He was love stricken to his Rajput general Jagat Singh’s (Vipul Gupta) sister Kamla Devi (Neha Sharma). However, Jagat Singh never wanted to hand over his sister to the dangerous Udaybhan. Thus, he secretly released the imprisoned Tanaji and pleaded before him to save him and his sister from Udaybhan’s clutches. Tanaji assured them of their freedom and fled from the place. He returned to his city Umrat and informed the people there about the upcoming war. He also met his wife Savitri Bai (Kajol) and told her that he would return and celebrate their son’s wedding after defeating Udaybhan.

战争是设定的，是时候采取行动了！塔纳吉（Tanaji）于1670年2月4日袭击了莫卧儿（Mughal）占领的康德纳堡（Kondhana Fort）。现在是他与Udaybhan！两把泰坦发生冲突，一场凶猛的一对一战斗得以忍受。在这里，您将目睹有史以来最灾难性的场景！Udaybhan点燃了应该轰炸Shivaji的Rajgad和Tanaji的佳能，正好及时砍掉了其灯的灯芯。但是接下来发生的事情会让你颤抖！当Tanaji这样做时，他的右臂被Udaybhan砍掉了。最后的场景显示他与Udaybhan作战，只有一只手臂，而后者用锋利的剑向他发出打击。即使没有对塔纳吉（Tanaji）留下希望，他为自己心爱的统治者希瓦吉（Shivaji）而站起来。 He chained Udaybhan to the huge canon and pushed the canon till it started falling off from the edge of the towering Kondhana fort. Udaybhan fell along with the canon and was killed.

受伤的Tanaji用左臂将马拉松的胜利旗握在膝盖上。随着Udaybhan死亡，Kondhana Fort被马拉松俘虏。勇敢的战士Tanaji终于屈服于他的受伤。希瓦吉（Shivaji）和他的军队进入了堡垒，并为塔纳吉（Tanaji）的死亡哀悼。后来，希瓦吉亲自监督了雷巴的婚姻。这场战斗的标题为印度历史上的“僧伽罗战役”。塔纳吉（Tanaji）的名字在马拉地（Maratha）历史上以金色的话写成，因为他确实是马拉松军队真正应得的那个无名勇敢的英雄。

The Good:

Once in a lifetime cinematography

Mark my words, the artistic cinematography by Keiko Nakahara in Tanhaji has barred all barriers. The cinematography is one of the major aspects which set this film apart from other historical dramas in Bollywood. No doubt, the immaculate editing by Dharmendra Sharma might have done the wonders. Tanhaji was also released in 3D and I must say, the 3D viewing experience was simply awesome! Upon experiencing such amazing visual effects, I felt as if I had time traveled to the 17^Th世纪战争震惊的印度。

相信我，即使您不看这部电影，您也可能不想错过最后的“僧伽罗战役”场景，该场景展示了Tanaji和Udaybhan之间的史诗般的战斗。看着3D的这场战斗使我觉得他们俩都在我面前战斗。笑话，我不应该全神贯注于电影，我什至不在乎阻止他们！

Ajay Devgan和Saif Ali Khan震惊了演出！

I must say that Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan both carried out their respective roles to utmost perfection. They simply stole the show with such a marvelous arch rivalry plot. Saif Ali Khan did appear to me as a real life barbarian in the movie, which made his acting unparalleled. He was shown killing his own soldiers who were not able to carry out their tasks competently. I must tell you, these scenes were gruesome.

Great dialogues

I found the dialogues in Tanhaji to be mind blowing! One dialogue by Tanaji to Udaybhan when he got captured and tortured was, “Har Maratha paagal hai…Swaaraj ka, Shivaji Raje ka, Bagwe ka” which means “Marathas are crazy for their beloved Shivaji and his self-rule policy”. The way he narrated this dialog was amazing, all tied up when he looked at Udaybhan with vengeful eyes.

The Bad:

The plot ends up as fictional…this was not how Udaybhan actually died!

The ending scene in Tanhaji was cooked up by Devgan and Raut. Very true, Udaybhan and Tanaji did fight and Tanaji fought like a lion. But if sources are to be believed, it was actually Tanaji who was killed by Udaybhan during the fight. It was Tanaji’s uncle and companion during the Battle of Sinhagad, another Maratha warrior named Shelar Mama, who actually killed the hefty Udaybhan after Tanaji was killed by him. I don’t know how real or how fictional the legend of Tanaji goes, but I believe Bollywood has got a tendency to spice up matters often.

The narration was not proper

Honestly, I didn’t find the narration in Tanhaji by Sanjay Mishra to be appealing enough. I believe that if Devgan and Raut could have considered opting for a different narrator, things might have sounded better. Mishra’s voice in the screenplay did not match up to my expectations.

The Verdict:

这个勇敢的历史战士的真实名字是Tanaji。但是，电影制片人将这部电影称为“坦哈吉”，以审查问题。无论实际故事如何，我个人都发现Tanhaji是一个完整的娱乐套餐，宝莱坞（Bollywood）已将其加入到它的边缘。如果消息来源是真的，据说阿贾伊·德文（Ajay Devgan）是这部电影的制片人之一，将电影制作作品掌握在自己手中。还可以说，坦哈吉（Tanhaji）中显示的事件或多或少是虚构的，是德文甘（Devgan）狂野想象的产物。

辅助演员莎拉德·凯尔卡（Sharad Kelkar）和卢克·肯尼（Luke Kenny）很好地扮演了Shivaji和Aurangzeb的角色。您会惊讶地知道，Kajol是Devgan的现实生活中的妻子，在这部电影中扮演了他的卷轴生活妻子。坦哈吉（Tanhaji）的歌曲本质上是爱国主义的，但是它们对我的吸引力并不多。

总体而言，坦哈吉（Tanhaji）描绘了印第安人在较早时期对祖国的爱，勇气和牺牲的感觉，这在当今的青年中几乎缺乏。即使我仍然不确定“实际发生的事情”，我也会发现，即使在失去一只手臂之后，Tanaji勇敢地与Udaybhan作战的结局场景。可悲的现实是，Tanaji实际上是因为他从Udaybhan的剑受到的打击而丧生。尽管宝莱坞（Bollywood）展示了远非现实的事物，但我个人发现这2小时15分钟的历史动作戏剧是宝莱坞电影收藏中的杰作。
