5 Reasons Why You Would Not Want To Miss Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Thackeray!

On the big Republic weekend of 2019, Bollywood fans would witness another clash. But unlike the last few years, we will not have any Akshay Kumar film around this period. Instead, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kangana Ranaut will battle it out. While on one hand, Kangana will bring out her inner warrior on-screen with Manikarnika, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will transform himself into Bal Thackeray for his biopic Thackeray.

While the choice is really difficult this time, here are 5 reasons to watch Thackeray that night ease you take the decision of which film to watch first this weekend:

1. It would be interesting to see one of the most controversial figures in India.

Bal Thackeray was one of the most pivotal figures of Indian politics. In fact, the things that take shape even in contemporary politics not just have some relation to Bal Thackeray but he is mostly the focal point. Therefore a film on the illustrator turned one of the most important political figures in the history of Indian politics.

2. This film might redefine how we view Bollywood biopics

When we think Bollywood biopics, we have always seen directors delve in a safe zone and steer clear of the controversial parts of the person's life. There are very few biopics that get into the grey zone. But given Bal Thackeray was one of the most controversial political figures of all times, it is impossible that the film can ever remain in a safe zone. It is but inevitable that it would touch upon many controversial events not just in Bal Thackeray's life but in the Maharastra and Indian politics as well.

3. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has completely transformed himself

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has become Thackeray. He has not just got the looks right but even the mannerisms. But what is more interesting is the fact that he is a man of talent and we are pretty sure that none could have portrayed Thackeray better on-screen that Nawazuddin.

4. Amrita Rao's comeback

After a long time, we will see Amrita Rao on-screen and we are excited to see her again.

5. The charm of old Bombay

Since we will be seeing the life of Bal Thackeray, we will get to see Bombay and not Mumbai. We will see the city of dreams with all the old world charm.
