Yes a great movie. My favourite part was how he treated the general of Hyderabad, at his house. "Kasim shab, jab aap Hyderabad ke Hinduon ko katl kar rahe honge, to sochie Bharat Sarkar kya kar rahee hogee? Yeh soch lijiyega." (Mr. Kasim, when you decide to cleanse Hyderabad of Hindus, just also think of what Govt of India would be doing then.)
Also if you have the DVD, in "extras", it has some of the original speeches of Sardar Patel - don't miss those.
Especially - one speech in Kolkata where he clearly says 'Muslims of India must learn to integrate, learn to change the hearts." Another speech he gave in Chennai, where he says, "Organizers want me to speak in English. I am disappointed but I will do as directed. Friends, please learn to integrate with the larger society. Hindi is not my mother language too, it is Gujrati, but let me sy this clearly once and for ever... Hindi and not English is what will integrate us all..." Also his speech delivered in Hyderabad after armed operation...
Many other very valuable speeches. Don't miss.
