“Ae Watan Mere Watan” is a biographical historical drama film by Kannan Iyer, in which Sara Ali Khan plays the role of Usha Mehta, a freedom fighter who takes all risks to oppose British domination in the Quit India Movement of 1942.
The film tells the story of "Usha", a resilient girl, who is inspired by the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. When the British authorities are consolidating information and silencing Indian revolutionaries, Usha infers that there was likely to be an underground network of revolutions conducted via underground communications. She establishes an illegal radio station in Mumbai with the support of “Firdaus Engineer” (Anand Tiwari). Through the clandestine platform, she broadcasts voices of unity and revolution, and it inspires the masses and keeps the movement on track.
With British authorities increasing the pursuit of these elusive voices inciting rebellion, Usha and her supporters carry out their activity with the shadow of capture hovering over them at all times. Tension grows as the radio station becomes central to organizing opposition. British officer “John Lyre” (Alexx O'Nell) undertakes a one-man mission to close it down. A hidden identity, in the form of Emraan Hashmi, enters the emerging drama.
The movie depicts the hardships and sacrifices of young revolutionaries, with Usha's determination against the oppressive regime. The setting of the times is well done, transporting the viewer into the mood of the era. Although the movie succeeds in bringing to life a crucial page of Indian independence, it fails to do full justice to recreating the tension and urgency of the mission of Usha. Although the premise is intriguing, the execution leaves audiences wanting for a more engaging, deep story. Sara Ali Khan has a believable performance, but “Ae Watan Mere Watan” is a mediocre movie that could have been a truer historical thriller with a darker tone.
