I was sceptical about "The Rising". I hadn’t seen any trailers or read any reviews, but from what my friend said about it, I thought it didn’t sound very interesting.
I was wrong. It was interesting. It tells the story of two people - Captain William Gordon (Toby Stephens) and Mangal Padney (Aamir Khan) during the time towards the end of the occupation of India by the East India Company. They both begin in the army of the East India Company, but throughout the course of the film, events occur that put a strain on the relationship between the Indian troops and the British commanders as well as between the two main characters. There were frequent songs in the film which I found to be highly entertaining!
My rating: 8/10
