Excellent story on the journey of a young man to fulfill his duty to his family. I thought the beginning was a little rushed to set the stage for the young man's journey, but after viewing a second time decided that it was necessary to set the arc of that character and for character development through interaction with other elements of his journey (other characters, different cultures, various levels of prejudice, learning how to trust, forming bonds and friendship, developing a steely determination).
There were two very nicely intertwined journeys in the story, that of the young man and of his older brother who signed up in the military for reasons of vengeance. The crew definitely pulled it off well, bringing both story arcs of the brothers to a touching conclusion. Cinematography was stunning, the notable ones for me being the vast desolate desert and the beaches at the end.
Special mention needs to be given to Jit Singh's talent for conveying emotions very effectively through body language and facial expression. He really pulls you in and makes you part of his journey from start to end.
