Versatile actor Pankaj Tripathi portrayed Atal Bihari Vajpayee very well in the film including his postures, hand movements and facial expressions. On the other hand, Ekta Kaul has done a good job in the role of Vajpayee's love interest Rajkumari Kaul, and Daya Shankar Pandey has given the right colour to the important character of Deendayal Upadhyay.

Pankaj Tripathi delivers a pitch-perfect performance as Vajpayee, a poet, politician, statesman, and gentleman. On the other hand, award-winning director-writer Ravi Jadhav (Natrang, Taali, etc.) and co-writer Rishi Virmani come up with aces in chronicling the life and times of one of the most admired figures in India. The movie is a visual treat, from silhouettes to camerawork enhancing important scenes. The use of Vajpayee’s poetry recitation and lyrics in songs also add to the appeal.

National Award-winning director Ravi Jadhav (who has earlier made films like Natarang Balgandharva, Balak Palak, Timepass, and Nude) along with Pankaj Tripathi offer an interesting drama for those who don’t know much about the late statesman. With deft nuance and the assistance of minimal makeup, the actor transforms into the former prime minister and delivers a pitch-perfect portrayal. It is his terrific performance that makes you invested in the film, overshadows the flaws and leaves a lasting impact.
